The great subversive works of children's literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. They mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form.

This is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten.
