    By using images supported by real life, Brett’s books transport you to a world very different from our own. In the book, The Mitten not only do the animals appear to be as fluffy and furry as their real life counterparts, but the illustration of the frosty snow make you feel the cold the animals feel when searching for a warm home. The intricate details used to bring this Ukrainian culture to life really shows Brett dedication to accuracy and commitment to illustrating a story as one might actually see off the page. To a reader, this is very appealing, especially as a child, because children feel like the story is real because of the detail in the art and they can immerse themselves in the world of the book. Professionals who admire her work and provide it for children, see the ability for children to learn about other cultures by not only having to read the words, but by viewing the images and considering what that culture in the book is made up of because truly none of her settings are exactly the same.…

    There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” This is a famous quote said by Marcel Proust. Books over the centuries have had an influential impact on the lives of many. Arguably, there are none more influential than children’s books. Children’s books contain important life lessons and teach many children the basic values they will hold for the remainder of their lives. Examples of the best range from the well-known Dr. Seuss books, to the always-popular Winnie the Pooh books. Although those are historically popular, The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister, is one that should be kept in mind. With it’s enticing illustrations, simple and descriptive context, and lesson it portrays, the children’s book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister should be considered for a spot on the “Top 100 Children’s Books” list.…

These poems are one of the biggest icons in children’s literature and made Silverstein one of the most recognized children’s authors in history. Also, these two poems have been considered best-sellers for New York Times in multiple years. Both of these poems have changed the face of children’s literature in many ways.…

    Taking a second, and even third, look at the book is important in understanding what is happening throughout the story. Although though it only contains pictures inside, there is a story written well beyond in each of the illustrations that make it to be complex and intriguing. As I thought about it, I concluded that this would be a good book for older elementary students who have learned to analysis and evaluate images. This book is a good way to help students strength the skill of looking at something in front of them and being able to make sense of it. While they may need some help or guidance to understand the content fully, they will be able to understand, and maybe even find different ways of interpreting the story that we do as adult readers.…

    Aims: The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate and plan a story to read to a group of children aged 2 and half to 4. I chose this age group because this is the group I work with on a daily bases from 9:30 to 12:30 five days a week. I am picking a story called “Oh Dear” by Rod Campbell who is a Scottish writer and illustrator of several popular children's books including the classic lift-the-flap board book “Dear Zoo”. As it is a story that helps the children with learning the different animals on the farm and also encourages the children to use their imaginations as they lift up the different flaps in the book to see what is behind them. Which Maria Montessori says “Imaginative teaching materials are the heart of the process”. All of Rod Campbell’s “books have simple text often with repeating phrases which is ideal for pre-readers” and will also Help the children with langue and intellectual skills. “The child proceeds at his own pace in an environment controlled to provide means of learning” -Maria Montessori. this book also helps the children physically as they have to get up to lift up the flaps on the book “movement is therefore the essential of life education cannot be conceived of ad a means to moderate or worse to inhibit movement; it should only function as an aid to a better expenditure of energy whilst allowing it to develop normally” -Maria Montessori pg 102 discovery of a child. “The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to “learn”; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.” – Maria Montessori pg 120 discovery of a child.
