Document Summary
Raggedy ann: di erent products made through decade. Quacky doodles: technique of packaging book and toy together, dates further back, very popular. Johnny gruelle had a daughter named marcella who died: couple years before books published. Part of real world, not separate: children participate, not just being imposed on. Fabric of culture, children are apart of that culture. Not just recipients but also co-producers: what does she mean by children"s lit inviting engagement with each other. World of object, dynamic: to look one without other, arti cially separate - lack of dialogue, script. Room for interpretation: script turned to play, room for how it will be acted. Imply performance - something about putting something to use. Suggest that a degree of agency: can transform way you see it - in way re-enacting it. Uncle tom"s cabin: harriet beecher stowe, loaded with racial stereotypes.
