Critique: This is a good exapmle of a fantasty because of how the main charaters are not real people, but instead wooden puppets called wimmicks that talk. It is also a fantasy because of how it takes place in an unrealistc world where boxes and balls represent wealth.

This is a good example of modern fantasy because the wooden dolls in this book are given human characteristics such as being able to talk, walk, and buy things. They are also able to think and have feelings, which is what this book is all about. The wooden puppets think it that having a lot of

boxes and balls will make them feel important, but then the main puppet visits the person who made him and there he realizes that it was silly to get caught up in all of that. Although it is a fantasy, the reader can easily identify with the puppets as issues of identity and fitting in are common in today's world.
