Nowadays, an increasing amount of psychologists and educators find that literature designed for children plays a very important role in a child’s upbringing. A good children’s book not only influences a child’s psychological development, but is also a useful tool for scholars to research children’s psychology, which reflects children’s thinking regarding certain aspects. Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking (1957) and Tetsuke Kuroyanagi’s The Little Girl at the Window (1984) undoubtedly are two representative children’s literatures, which were written during a time where the child's perspective in children's literature was not yet an attitude commonly adopted by narrators in novels. The novels illustrate and highlight children's thinking and reasoning abilities, and the characterization appears to draw on children's developmental cognitive theories, describing a child whose cognition ability recalls Jean Piaget's work and ideas. This thesis attempts to analyze Pippi’s and Totto’s thinking and reasoning and how it can illustrate some of Piaget’s theories about children’s drawing and children’s cognitive development. And a further discussion will be going on in this thesis about how Piaget's work might inform and enrich educational practices in accordance with children’s specific needs at different ages and from different cultural backgrounds.

O estudo tem como hipótese a incorporação da linguagem do humor gráfico ao ensino-aprendizagem do desenho a partir de propostas para pensar, elaborar e criar a partir de referências experimentadas através da apropriação do alfabeto gráfico por parte do aluno. A intenção é provocar a reflexão sobre o quanto o incentivo ao desenho, por meio de uma abordagem interacionista, possibilita e fomenta a prática desenhista numa fase de possível bloqueio do desenvolvimento gráfico do sujeito. / This article proposes the observation of how the humor drawing can be worked in the classroom with children and adolescents aiming at the symbolic development and the drawing itself. The study’s hypothesis is the incorporation of the language of graphic humor into the teaching-learning of the drawing from proposals to think, elaborate and create from references experienced through the appropriation of the graphic alphabet by the student. The intention is to provoke reflection on how much the incentive to draw, through an interactionist approach, enables and encourages the designer practice in a phase of possible blocking of the person’s graphic development. / CAPES: 5629532
