Drawing on over thirty years of teaching children's literature and
education, including special topics courses on pedagogical imagery
in popular media, the author has drawn those two enterprises
together to apply an educational perspective to several giants in
the canon of children's literature. Albritton finds and explores
images of teaching and learning in Lewis Carroll's two Alice
novels, a selection of tales by Beatrix Potter, both play and novel
versions of Peter Pan, Kenneth Grahamme's The Wind in the Willows,
selected stories featuring Winnie-the-Pooh, The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe, The Hobbit, and the first three of J.K. Rowling's
novels featuring the young wizard in training, Harry Potter.
Through these works, the author finds traces of Plato, Rousseau,
Dewey, and Vygotsky, portrayals of growth mindset and high stakes
testing, and evidence of the pedagogical power of inquiry, teacher
personality, and project-based learning. Albritton's intention is
to give equal play to each analytical focus, resulting in a richer
appreciation for the literature and a deeper understanding of the
theory.
