"Dafna Lemish offers up an overview of everything you ever wanted to know about children and television."
Video Age
"Children and Television is a very nicely crafted text that
chronicles the integration of television into the lives of children and their
families over the past 50 years. Given its accessible style, the text
should have appeal within the academic community and among the lay
public. In fact, the latter stand to gain the most in terms of better
understanding, from a scientifically substantiated vantage point, of how
television has fit into children's lives today and how it will prepare them
for the inevitable integration of more sophisticated media forms into
their lives tomorrow." PsycCRITIQUES
