I am well-versed in Piaget and Erickson from my time as a childcare worker. It all seemed so orderly, the progression from phase to phase. But kids WERE different. The ideology definitions are very interesting as well--and how they might be compared to white fragility. #604D
I think the main takeaway I got from this week's reading assignments is how much children's lit reflects the values of society instead of reflecting the views of actual children. At the end of the day, the lit is intended to reinforce what the adults think is important. #604D
The last time I used my Twitter account was for a children's lit class in my undergrad. And now here I am again. 2 years later. Using it for a graduate seminar. I'm so excited to start this again! #604D
I've been a fan of Gorey for awhile, and leaped at the opportunity to take this class. I have learned so much about Gorey and nonsense and I had fun. Thanks for such a great class. #604D
I really enjoyed sharing this class with everyone, genuinely looked forward to everyone’s discussions boards. Wish we could’ve met in person, but I’m a bit sad the class is over! #604D
I keep returning to "The Gilded Bat" lately. It might be my years of dance but it's so entrancing. I was for some reason especially drawn to the patterned wallpaper in the piece. #604D
A rare glimpse of how I'm currently feeling. Gotta love finals #604D
Though I have yet to uncover the word pattern of The Nursery Frieze these little capybara creatures hold a dear place in my heart. These little creatures definitely make up for the frustration I have towards the text. #604D

i also had fun going through amphigorey and amphigorey too and reading stories we didn’t cover— the beastly baby became a favorite as well
i loved being able to return to some gorey pieces that we read earlier this semester— i was especially tickled by the doubtful guest yet again, and specifically the topsy-turvy ways in which it seems to nonsensify children #604D
I love the faces of the boy from "The Untitled Story" The expressions range from deadpan to scared to wtf or maybe that's just me. #604D
@mariamsdsu Wow I had no clue that story was turned into a board game, that’s really neat. Looking on Amazon it doesn’t seem the game’s caught as much love as Gorey’s stories... #604D
I like how we sometimes were shown Gorey's original drafts like The Chinese Obelisks. Just seeing his handwriting and the way the illustrations changed so much is really fascinating. #604D
Gorey's "The Doubtful Guest" was giving me major Thanksgiving/holiday vibes. Anyone else? #604D
#604D any poetry experts have insight to give for “The Rum Tum Tugger?” The repetition of stanza 1 and and rhyme scheme seemed to mimic the back and forth of the cat, though the rhyme scheme changes slightly with each stanza. Eliots poetry was fun to read, very tightly structured
My link for Cautionary Tales for Children was acting up so I searched for the pdf myself. In my search, I stumbled upon a Google Books edition where some of the illustrations seem to be painted with watercolors. #604D
While BTB gets props for the detailed way he illustrates, I just love the executive decision Gorey made to draw the Enormous Book, well, enormously #604D
Came across this self-portrait of Gorey this week and after reflecting on how he draws his characters’ expressions in his illustrations...what do we make of how he draws his own?? 🤔 #604D
