Describe The Differences Between Stan And Jan Berenstain
Normally children will read because the children’s parents want them to, but in reading children's books people can learn all kinds of lessons and core life values. Both of my groups books were written by the same two authors; Stan and Jan Berenstain they have written all of the books in the series The Berenstain Bears. They are a series of books about a bear family that encounters everyday problems, and solves them. The first book was The Berenstain Bears Pick Up and Put Away. It is time for bedtime in the Berenstain house and all of the cubs toys are still all over the floor. The Parents tell them to put the toys away and head up to bed.The second book was The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Parents. The kids are being a pain so the parent’s start to yell at them and the kids don’t like that. …show more content…
I believe this is a common theme because one story the parents tell them to pick up their toys, but at one point the kids say no and they learn say no doesn’t get you what you want. We were shocked when we read Trouble with grown ups. The kid bears were constantly getting trouble for not listening to their parents. A big plot twist was when the parents and the kids switched roles because it showed the kids the parents point of

She begins by admitting that she was a hardcore reader when she was young, but that change when her parents give her undesired books to read. Consequently, Bechdel develops a strong aversion toward reading. Furthermore, she loathes reading that anybody suggested her. She becomes an adult with a strong hatred toward reading, however that changes when she founds more compelling books on her parents’ book shelves. Children are naive and skeptical therefore adults should not force them to anything beyond their desire interest…

    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.…

After reading the children’s book, The Other Side, readers can understand the author uses a child-like tone, remarkable symbolism, and writes appropriately for young audiences. As portrayed in the story, readers can unconditionally recognize the authors child-like tone. Clover uses informal language such as “that girl didn’t” or “mamma.”…

    Growing up, my childhood was ladled with stories. I absolutely loved Carmen Brown, Junie B. Jones, and Joey Piggza, but the one story that stood out the most to me was The Bernstein Bears. The Bernstein Bears is a children’s story book collection written and illustrated by Stan and Jan Bernstein. The series focuses on combating common child and adolescent issue with the ‘power’ of family unity. Family unity was something that I felt I did not have growing up, and I idealized the idea of having a family unit with all three bears: mama,…

Material that will make their imaginations grow - materials that will help them to understand their own lives and push them towards interacting with others who 's lives are completely different than there own" (Paterson).…

    In most of the books that are written for children, most of them are written to create the illusion that everything will pan out to be okay at the end. These books are mainly written to show children that by listening to their parents or adults, they would end up being successful at the end. As we examine two specific books, Charlotte’s Web by E.B White and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, we are able to see how the various roles the adults play in these books and the various ways in which they affect the story in the novels as well as in the children.…

    While most kids had the enjoyment of having their parents read to them at night, close to their parents and slowly drifting off to sleep, I never had that experience. My parents didn’t teach me to speak English, let alone read it to me. So, while I was growing up it was a struggle for me to have the thrill of traveling in a magical school bus, saying Goodnight to the moon or even ignoring the man with the yellow hat. I wasn’t so deep into books, I never knew they could take you out of reality and let you escape your mind while you go on an adventure.…

    I learned to see the other side of these children the more I interacted with them. I watched their jubilant, excited faces as they turned the pages to see the next story and stared at the pictures. I laughed with them at their small successes, overjoyed that I had been a part of helping them develop and mature. It was amusing, watching them as they would stumble over a math problem, but when they finally understood, would look up at me with glowing faces. Their insatiable love of learning, intellectual curiosity, and enthusiasm during reading time has inspired and motivated me to try new ventures with optimism. Jasper especially has taught me the power that comes from learning to understand a person no matter how irritating or intimidating he/she may be. If we can only be willing to open our heart and mind and listen, our small acts can do indeed do great deeds; so that these children may grow up to be people who will one day be able to change society as I hope to do so in the…

    I would like to mention that for my parents, especially for my dad, reading has always been a favorite hobby. Partly due to this fact, I have always received positive emotions while reading. If both of one of the parents often read, the likelihood that their child will want to receive positive emotions from this activity is very high. On the other hand, if parents do not read but require a child to read too much, the reading can become a field of resistance between the child and his or her parents. Reading has always been an easy and pleasant leisure for my parents. I am immensely grateful to my father who was an influential literacy sponsor and still has the biggest impact on me. I am used to see my dad who is a cardiologist working on his own development and expanding his knowledge in many fields. We have a family tradition to read a science book every month and later discuss some of its points together. I find such kind of pastime to be truly useful and…

    Dahl told his children nightly bedtime stories that inspired his future career as a children's writer. These stories became the basis for some of his most popular kids' books, as his children proved an informative test audience. "Children are ... highly critical. And they lose interest so quickly," he asserted in his New York Times book review interview. " You have to keep things ticking along. And if you think a child is getting bored, you must think up something that jolts it back. Something that tickles. You have to know what children like."…

    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. To develop their attention spans…
