A New Approach to the Framework of Children’s Literature Translation Criticism: A Case Study of The Wednesday Wars

Translation criticism is an indispensable part of translation activities, playing a crucial role in improving the quality of translations and advancing the development of the discipline. This paper uses the American children's literature work The Wednesday Wars as a case study to propose a new approach to the framework of children's literature translation criticism. Combining both macro and micro perspectives and guided by the principle of child-centeredness, the study analyzes the translation from four dimensions: accuracy, readability, literary quality, and educational value. It explores effective translation methods and techniques for children's literature and reflects on the standards of a translation criticism framework for this genre.
