| Summary |
"Media and the Make-Believe Worlds of Children offers new insights into children's descriptions of their invented or "make-believe" worlds, and the role that children's experience with media plays in creating these worlds. Based on the results of a cross-cultural study conducted in the United States, Germany, Israel, and South Korea, it offers an innovative look at media's role in children's creative lives." "This book will appeal to scholars, researchers, students, and producers working in the areas of children and media, early childhood education, and developmental psychology."--BOOK JACKET |
