内容提要：

Traditionally, children’s literature refers to reading materials such as storybooks, nursery rhymes, word play, riddles, picture books which have been chosen by adults and classified as suitable for young readers. With the advancement of technologies, traditional barriers disappear. A children's digital media culture is born, and new forms of children’s literature have emerged. Classic children’s books have been adapted and/or transformed into multimodal texts such as animations, video games, apps in smartphones, digital poetry, audio and visual versions of the original text, etc. In addition, it is found that digital texts have influenced printed children’s texts too, in particular in the page design and format. In this talk, the audience will be invited to browse through some interesting children’s texts popular among children in the digital age. The talk will invite the audience to experience the difference between reading a print-based version and watching a CGI animated version of The Hobbit.
