ResumoYou will remember Randall Jarrell's (1964) little bat-poet. After listening to and observing the mockingbird, he began to wonder what was real and what was mimicry. Was a mockingbird sounding like a thrush as real as a thrush? Which one's the mockingbird? which one's the world? he asked. This article is, in a way, an echo of the bat-poet's question in terms of children's literature, although not, I'm sorry to say, with his poetic expression.
