Book excerpt: In this book, Thomas Albritton explores images of teaching and learning in several giants in the canon of British children’s literature. Identifying 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 analysis results in both a richer appreciation for the literature and a deeper understanding of the educational theory.
