Guest Post over at UF KidLit

I have a guest post up on the "Kid Lit at UF" blog!  It's titled:

To Be a Puppet or Not to Be a Puppet…That is the Question

In it I'm taking a close look at Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio , exploring the nature of "puppethood" and what it means for Pinocchio to be transformed and what difference it makes to be a puppet or a real boy.

I was really excited because I found some fantastic illustrations that I hadn't seen before for this novel by Roberto Innocenti!  I'll give you a sneak peak at one, but you'll have to click on the link and head on over to Kid Lit at UF to see more :)


Ok, fine I'll give you two!


Ok, now head on over to "Kid Lit at UF", they have some really great posts up:
