A Necklace Of Raindrops

Product Information

Joan Aiken is at her best with this collection of gentle fairytales and fantasy stories, beautifully illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. The pictures are like little jewels themselves, or tiny "raindrops" that reflect the people and events in the stories. An excellent, cosy, curl-up-in-your-favourite-quilt read. I started this book thinking I'd never read it before, but something about one of the stories rang a bell, so I must have done many years ago. Hopefully the events of these stories will be just as fanciful to the children as the settings. Most children will not have records of breaking and entering, and any incidences of petty pilfering or even vandalism will have occurred as part of their learning about property and ownership. Some appropriation of another’s toys or breakages in frustration or misuse are common and nothing to cause concern about future morality.

She worked for the United Nations Information Office during the second world war, and then as an editor and freelance on Argosy magazine before she started writing full time, mainly children's books and thrillers.

A lively discussion may ensue, particularly if there are mixed responses. It would be of interest to note which children maintain their position, which waiver and which change their opinion.

ENGLISH: Eight semi-fairy stories by Joan Aiken. Two of them are about cats: "The cat sat on the mat" (and while there granted wishes) and "The baker's cat" (who was made to grow by a dosis of yeast). ALECCIONADOR E IMAGINATIVO CUENTO ACERCA DE LOS VALORES DE LAS BUENAS PERSONAS y LAS CONSECUENCIAS DE LAS ACCIONES DE LAS MALAS. The morning started badly; nothing unusual in that. He’d been woken in the night by shouting, slamming doors, and screeching car tyres. Nothing unusual there either.El gato Mog" es un libro infantil de RELATOS IMAGINATIVOS CON ELEMENTOS FANTÁSTICOS A LA PAR QUE REALIDADES crudas DE LA VIDA (Y DE LAS PERSONAS). A lo largo de sus ocho historias, NOS ENCONTRAREMOS CON DIVERSOS MENSAJES ACERCA DE LOS VALORES Y BENEFICIOS DE LAS BUENAS PERSONAS Y ANIMALES: la amistad, la bondad, el valor, la aceptación de los demás, sin prejuicios, sino por su manera de obrar, ADEMÁS DE, LO POSITIVO QUE APORTA LA CULTURA y LOS VIAJES. We chose this book for a Literary Leaf as the short stories in this collection are whimsical yet moralistic and have such lovely examples of literary language interwoven with humour that they are, we feel, perfect for the age-group. And as each story is relatively short, this will help children who are less-confident in their reading to feel a sense of achievement as well as supporting comprehension- development and understanding of story- plot and structure. Because Joan Aiken is the sole author of the anthology, this affords us a great opportunity to compare pieces by the same author in terms of style, use of literary devices and themes. My "acid test" of a good children's book is: does it appeal to adults? If not, there's probably not much there at all. Witness the fact that many, many adults enjoy Beatrix Potter, Milne and other "children's books" all their lives long, while the "fad" books fade away to no one's regret. This is an enduring classic, and I actually think I got more out of it at fifty than at a younger age. That is not to say that it's "over the heads" of children, because it's not. Tres empleados de una estación de tren en pleno desierto y sin actividad alguna, deciden emprender alternativamente y con sus ahorros, un viaje más allá de lo que hasta ahora conocen...el último de ellos descubrirá la solución a sus deseos de vivir en plenitud. Envy and jealousy — feelings familiar to many children who may have taken, borrowed or used something that didn’t belong to them. They may have squabbled about ownership or use of an item or had someone take something of theirs. Learning a sense of ownership as well as sharing is important in early childhood.
