Annotations: Childrens Literature

it is my favorite picture books for children 's because children prefer this type of books specially for the kids four years and under.

This novel was set during the post war period, this was a time when independence and rebelling against parents and law was more important than doing the right thing, during these times of independence, and teenagers needed friendship more than anything else.

The thing to learn from this story would be, be cruel to the world and people, and the world and people will be cruel back.

Alexander The Great: Journey to the End of the Earth, by Norman F. Cantor. New York: HarperCollins, 2005, 180 pages. Reviewed by Tyler E. Tatum

Many people fail to realize that Alexander has had a definite affect on us today, although not as great as he would have had on people of the past. In most parts the world today, Alexander The Great is considered a legend; however, in some places, Alexander is considered a god. One of the most notable people in history, Alexander has reached an iconic status in our world today. He possibly may have even been referred to in the Quran (Surah 18:89-98). There are still many stories told about him including folktales, and movies. In modern Iran, Alexander is still known as an evil king who nearly destroyed the ancient Persian culture and religion. Although the effect of “Alexander Mania” has died down since the time of his reign, you can still see the mark that he has left on today’s world.

Foul language, gang violence, rivalries, dysfunctional families, underage drinking, and drug abuse at a young age are all examples of things a teen should not learn about. Children or teens can be immature and take the examples of things within the book the wrong way and use it to their advantage. Overall, this book should be on the banned book list and not be read by

In the modern world, children’s literature, fairy tales, and fiction books influence our childhood and early development. In the 1500’s and 1600’s no children’s literature for entertainment existed, they had educational books. As babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, my parents and teachers read us books after books. It is proven that reading to young kids is important for their imagination, vocabulary, and communication skills in early life.

The humour in the book is like hot chips with its sauce, it fits together magnificently. Primarily, the humour used over the course of the novel interests and captivates many of his readers. Although many don't recognise the hidden theme of bullying, a minority of people will realise and reflect upon it. The book needs its humour to relate to the given audience, the hidden theme of bullying is an addition that helps the readers understand the significant issue of

The book begins by talking about the Macedonian homeland and the make up of the people, their culture. Alexander was born in 356 BC in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia he was the son of Philip II, king of Macedonia, and of Olympias, a princess of

4. The theme of this book is when kids bully or pick on other kids they think it’s a joke.

In your own words, how does the quote on the top of page 153 describe Alexander?

Evaluation: Although the dialect of some of the characters takes some getting use to, I enjoy this book. This is an American classic, filled with humor but critical of people who can be so civilized and so cruel at the same time. It is a boy’s adventurous coming of age that celebrates the individual spirit of America and the romantic vision of innocence and virtue in nature.

Alexander the Great is remembered as a conquering man who built one of the largest empires. Some describe him as a man with a vision of world harmony. Others see him as a blood thirsty man with a mental illness. One thing that cannot be argued is that he and his empire are fascinating studies. From his rise to power to his mysterious death is interesting, but even after he died the story is fascinating. Due to his death, his empire was divided and a long power-struggle began starting with his generals. Each account has its own story of war and betrayal. These days must have been hard for those in power; they never knew who they could trust. Only the ones who were skilled in the strategy of war and ruthless enough to maintain their power

Rowley and Greg are not the most popular kids in school ¨I´ve been trying to be a lot more careful about my image ever since i got to middle school¨ (Kinney 18). The book is very well wrote if you are looking for a funny exciting book that is not boring to read. Its like every other kids life he has an older brother that likes to pick on him named Rodrick and an annoying little brother that gets whatever he wants his name is Manny ¨When I woke up this morning and went downstairs there were about a million gifts under the christmas tree. But when I started digging around , there were hardly any gifts with my name on them. But Manny made out like a bandit. He got every single thing he circled in the catalog¨ (Kinny 120). So over I enjoyed reading and writing about Diary of a wimpy kid it was a fun read not too hard or not to easy i am really looking forward to the next books. I enjoyed how the book also had pictures if you didnt understand what they meant in the reading it helped to look at the pictures to get a better understanding. So I did like this book and i give it a great review and would recommend this book to a person that likes a fun quick

This charming story reverses the typical roles within a children’s book. With underlying issues of stereotypes, independence and empowerment, it fills children with imagination and teaches them the importance of being strong, smart, and the realization that beauty comes from within.
