The Cute and the Cool: Wondrous Innocence and Modern American Children's Culture
Cross, Gary (Professor of History, Professor of History, Pennsylvania State University)
The cute child -- spunky, yet dependent, naughty but nice -- is largely a 20th-century invention. In this book, Gary Cross examines how that look emerged in American popular culture and how the cute turned into the cool, seemingly its opposite, in stories and games.
