O lúdico em reinações de Narizinho e o Picapau Amarelo, de Monteiro Lobato

Abstract

This research aims to study the ludic aspects present in the works of Monteiro Lobato. We observed that children's literature has undergone numerous innovations, ranging from the discovery of the child as a thinking being to the authors who really care about the child's taste and perception of the world. Faced with the huge number of children's works that make up children's literature, we opted for the works of Monteiro Lobato, with emphasis on Reinações de Narizinho (1931) and O Picapau Amarelo (1939). We observe how the ludic is constituted in the course of the narratives. With the research, it was possible to perceive that the ludic is portrayed in a unique way in the works of Monteiro Lobato, which mixes the real and the fantastic, something that captures the reader and surprises him through the adventures lived by characters with characteristics similar to those of the reader.
