LOUISA GEORGE, THE ADVENTURES OF A CHICKEN

Kate Dicamillo, illustrated by Harry Blis
Mottajunior, 2009, 54 p.
Illustrated
Age of recommended reading: 5 - 8 years

Through four chapters, three stories and an epilogue, Luisa a chicken farm, leads us to the adventure. What pushes it far and wide for the world is absolutely legitimate and acceptable to the principle of freedom " The hens should not be locked in a cage (...) but should be free to roam " says Luisa.
one day so our feathered heroine leaves the hen house to explore the world in search of freedom, but there are some unexpected events and misadventures: will be kidnapped pirates of the sea, will find himself face to face with a lion, will be working with the circus and might even be sold to an unscrupulous merchant. But Luis is fearless and courageous, and each time, after many adventures around the world, always able to return in the chicken coop from his sisters curious to hear his tales of comedy and adventure travel. Like them, the readers will enjoy the pleasure of a simple and fun story following the text and illustrations by Harry Blis rich in detail and particular, but also, if they want, they can dwell on the meaning and the sense that those trips are for Luisa, the message you try to "pass" to the other chickens: free is a valuable asset that must be safeguarded, sometimes conquered, which often also implies duties, but that certainly is a fundamental right of every living being.

ANIMALS IN ROUTE OF EXTINCTION: AUDIO BOOKS TO KNOW A STORY THROUGH A BOOK

one I started some time to consider books and picture books that more or less directly become a focal point and a resource from which to talk about the environment, nature, ecology and science. Obviously today there are specialized publishing houses that publish picture books and texts on the subject designed to ok. They are informative and non-fiction picture books designed for children, really beautiful and good for educational purposes and, if used in a choir, even for reading in the library organize meetings with clients or even free for some thematic area with schools.
In particular, my favorites are the texts that narrate through words and pictures and a story a story, thus maintaining a narrative without being too didactic and "notional", such as those from the publishing house Editorial Science that, on the theme "Nature and the Environment, proposes a series of audio books designed to speak and make known to children the habits and characteristics of some of the animals at risk of extinction through a story to tell, and if we also be observed to listen through the enclosed CD, in which the narrator's curiosity and Lella Costa offers additional details. Part of series: Penguins on the trail of the panda, tiger mother and A great little turtle , Nicola Davies illustrated by Jane Chapman, 2010, 32 p. + Audio CD, that having had the pleasure to browse and read, it is definitely my favorite among all the books of the series.
Admiring the beautiful and charming illustrations by the wonderful colors, like an oil painting on canvas, is clear from the grandeur of the sea and the environment in all its strength and majesty in front of the smallness of living beings, of a baby turtle that is about to travel a long journey, that of his life, following in the footsteps of his ancestors.
E 'right from the ocean itself fraught with dangers and pitfalls that the turtle, escaping predators, away from the foam cradled between the algae of waves, will draw its nourishment, becoming tough and strong, ready, then, now an adult, to go into the deep blue sea. Can go even decades before the fragile turtle, led by water taste and sound of the surf that has never forgotten, returns to the beach where she was born and there, digging a deep hole and turn from hundreds of eggs. E 'and the fragile balance of the magic of creation where the cycles of life and re-started from the same spot where they died, and the sky and sea mingle mingle with the earth becoming one wonderful thing.
This story, able to give visibility to the thin thread that binds all living things to the great land ecosystem, gives value to life of any living being, puts the right emphasis on the passing of time, the immensity of our planet and its precious treasures to be preserved as limited and vital to other creatures, gives us a story that also represents a path of growth and courage to face the adventure that life is.

The best method is to start with a small masterpiece shows French author Hervé Tullet .
From this text, as a starting workshop to play with the senses and movement, a very good teacher of a reading center for children of Bologna has created a beautiful reading path for the nests in which reading has made animated character at the same time illustrated the book "The Seasons of ball." Thread that has been able to link the two texts: the colored balls to discover, to follow the gaze by observing the movements and magical transformations, and then play with them with the voice and body. an example of how completely different stories apart and at first glance irreconcilable can integrate it to run parallel and thus generating new narrative plots.

Albo illustrated interactive play with children, thus combining the discovery of color, movement and form. Reading it is a game that was created spontaneously by the indications that the text provides us inviting us to follow: with his finger hit the yellow ball and turn the page. What happened? well now Push it down the same yellow ball once again ... perfect now sferga gently yellow ball left .... the game goes through movement fingers, dots, page by page, multiply and become ... If the book now agitated, not bad maybe try a little 'stronger ... well now try to tilt the book to the left and right ... are you there? ops, you turn off the light.

A book in which text and illustrations and dialogue that needs to be read not only a narrator, but in the first movement of the body where it can take away the magic game reading and discovery for both large and for children.
