3 Children Literature Books
Old Yeller (1908-1973) by Fred Gipson. This story is about a fourteen year old boy who is left in charge of the household while his father is away. He manages to have control until, Old Yeller; a stray dog is adopted by the boy, helps in the formidable task of protecting the family on the Texas Ranch. In today's society, we as parents have high expectations that encourage our children to have efforts to achieve. Parents send their children to get educated in the public schools and find a new job so they can succeed in life. Time has change and we expect more for our children so that they won't suffer the times that their [arents did back then when they were, their age growing-up.
Curious George by Hans Augusto Rey and Margret Rey. This book is about a curious monkey named George, who is brougth from his home in Africa by "The Man with The Yellow Hat" to live with him in a big city. I inspire this book because whenever there is a curious mind to feed and imagination to inspire you'll be seeing children's minds wonder what that curious monkey is up too. I have a student who reminds me of this character and no matter what he says or does he is always finding a solution to the problem. This is where a kid could be a kid.
The Berestain Bears by Stan and Jan Berestain. These books have a big reason behind their inspiration. Some of the difficulties parents face, as well as their own childhood years while growing up. The Berestain mention some issues which appeared in every generation. Such as kids trowing tantrums in public places, which made an important subject matter for their stories to become part of our children lives. They want tp make a clear statement on any heavy issues that would affect a child's life.
