The Children's Picture Book 'Noni The Pony'
The children’s picture book Noni the Pony is simple, feel good, rhyming story about a kind, friendly pony named Noni. Noni lives on a farm with her best friends Dave Dog and Coco the Cat. The author defines the character right from the first page by describing Noni as friendly and fun (Tunnell, 2008, p. 18). Also creating the fun tone in saying that Noni loves trotting and prancing (Tunnell, 2008, p. 18). As Noni kicks up her heels with the hens and the ducks the book develops a light-hearted mood (Tunnell, 2008, p. 18). The precise vocabulary describing when the leaves rustle and sigh gives the dimension of sound (Tunnell, 2008, p. 20). Also using words like spooked, shimmering and ambush add more interesting descriptions to the night, Noni’s

    To be awarded “most distinguished American picture book for children” excellent artistic technique must be present.

    It there a clear divide between childrens books

    By critical analysis it can become a very complicating task to define a child’s book. There are many fundamental definitive factors that can be found in books that have been written for Children. For instance, if we take the example of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis 1950 . Universally it is recognised as a book for children. It contains the inherent facets of a children’s book. Often a typical children’s book will have a child protagonist. In the classic novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis. C.S Lewis has not just one child protagonist but four. Very commonly we find the child protagonist in the story is an orphan. Again we can see C.S Lewis has shown four children that are away from their parents and the typical family nucleus. Moreover, examples of orphanage can be seen in the classic novel of The Jungle book by Rudyard Kipling 1894. In The Jungle book the child protagonist is an orphan found in the jungle floating in a basket by a panther.…

    The rocking horse winner

    The purpose of reading “The Rocking-horse Winner” is to demonstrate my understanding of the comprehension strategies studied in this lesson. I never heard about the author before; because of this I will approach my reading word by word. This is going to allow me to make connections with my own experience, create mental images and have a better understanding. Even though I never read the story before, I know this is a short story because the text doesn’t have too many pages. So this aspect makes me conclude that I will find elements such as: introduction of characters, initial conflicts, dramatic conflict, and suspense. A first glance the title suggests the adventure in the child’s mind of him and his toy: a rocking-horse with a special gift, it is a winner rocking horse.…

    The Lost Thing

    The Lost Thing is the first picture book that Shaun Tan has both written and illustrated, and the result is a wonderful, warm, humorous story that will be read and enjoyed by a wide range of ages. There is so much to pore over and ponder in this book that it will be a welcome addition to the resources that teachers have to draw on. The story is an age‐old and familiar “lost dog story” told by the boy and addressed to the reader. It is a matter‐of‐fact anecdote, full of interest and compassion, but the accompanying illustrations make The Lost Thing extremely challenging. The juxtaposition of text and drawings make a book that is both thought‐provoking and filled with food for thought. The Lost Thing can be used in the classroom from middle primary right through to upper secondary and a great deal can be gained by those who read it.…
