Wordless Picture Book
A Ball for Daisy by Schwartz & Wade.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, for wordless books anyone who picks them suddenly becomes an author in my opinion because you have to create a story with your Imaginations as you see the pictures from the book. My point of view of the story goes a little something with Daisy, who is in love with playing and chewing on her red ball. She rolls over on her back and holds the ball on her stomach. After Daisy takes her nap the owner decided to go for a walk in the park and she knows how much Daisy love the ball so she decides to bring it with her to play. In the park the lady decides to throw the ball so that Daisy can fetch it, Daisy quickly chases the ball but it rolls under a fence. Now Daisy is at a complete loss of what to do. How do you get the ball? It is stuck behind a steel fence. Daisy collapses on the ground and looks longingly at the ball. Lucky for her, the lady reaches over the fence and retrieves the ball. Daisy is thrilled to have her toy back. But bad …show more content…
The illustrations are by an Australian artist Robert Ingpen who brings the animals to life in the best edition. The sounds of the jungle come alive with the words he chooses. It is an amazing book that is filled with parchment paper, heavy dust jacket and an illustration galore green sating bookmark. I think the grade level that would be interested and great for is 4th grade through 7th. It has a great story line and would be very enjoyable for the boys as well to read and use their imagination if they were ever raised by wolves. i can see the boys enjoying the adventures of Mowgly as well. It would be great to include this book in the library as well as at home, possibly a bedtime story. I also really enjoyed the movie which is of course Disney based, but a great option for them to have after they finish the

    Molly Bang Paper When thinking of this assignment, I immediately knew which book I was going to choose. I felt that choosing a favorite book from my childhood could be a fun way to see the differences in how I viewed it then, and how I might view it today. As a child, I was in love with Mercer Mayer’s “Little Critter” books (and still am today). I decided not to go searching for an easy or popular book, rather I wanted to take one I know and love and see if/how Molly Bang’s principles were applied.…

    Analysis Of Scott Mccloud's Show & Tell

    This element of making associations and learning language at a young age is crucial. For instance, infants have an inborn ability that allows them to learn languages quicker than adults can and is why it is urgent to expose them to these pictures and varieties of text when they are young and well equipt. Essentially, for babies to develop the ability to communicate and read early­on, with use of associated pictures and a variety of texts, language would come easier to them in the upcoming years. According to Earlychildhood News, your online resource for Teachers and Parents of children, one teacher states “wordless books encouraged...

    Comparing The Grapes Of Wrath And The Secret Life Of Bees

    Introduction Characters in a story evolve due to the struggles and hardships they face throughout the story. In The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck and in Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd the two characters are quite sheltered and oblivious to what is happening in the world. Lily Melissa Owens in The Secret Life of Bees is sheltered and oblivious to what is happening in the world because she has never experienced racism. It is not until Rosaleen, the Owens family house maid, goes into town and attempts to vote, but is beaten up by three racist white men and then is thrown in jail . Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath is sheltered and oblivious to what is happening in the world because he was in prison, with no news about the Dust Bowl.…

    The illustrations do a great job of supporting the text. Beatrix Potter does a great job of helping her readers be able to use their imagination and put themselves in the story with Peter Rabbit. Each character in this book display human characteristics such as dressing like a human and walking on their hind legs. The characters in this story are all very memorable. While this book is probably more suited towards the younger kids, I think even adults could enjoy this story of Peter Rabbit.…

    Children's Literary Analysis

    Over the years, children’s literature has established itself as a vital tool for the exploration, feeling and creativity ideals that both children and young adults depend upon. Children’s literature is a necessity to facilitate learning, assist in shaping reader’s minds, to stimulate their thought processes and is a reflection of social change. Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British children’s books, which sheltered them from experiencing literature about their own history, nature and landscape.…

    The South African Folk Tales By James A. Honey

    These stories have been collected by white immigrant people from native tellers (similar to the Joe Hayes or Joel Chandler Harris situation) or collected by native Africans who have been educated in English by white immigrant audiences. Where do you see the English-speaking, European influences? What instructions would you give to these collectors in order to get accurate stories? This question is similar to the one asked about Joe Hayes, the Anglo who collects Mexican fairy tales. The most obvious English-speaking influence is that the stories were retold in English by storytellers from America and the United Kingdom.…
