Kevin Henkes Little White Rabbit

The Rabbits, a picture book written by John Marsden and illustrated by Shaun Tan, is an allegory for the British arriving in Australia and the subsequent colonisation. From the perspective of the indigenous population, Marsden explores the impact of white settlement on the traditional aboriginal way of life. This is achieved through the symbolism, colours and language.

The Newbery Honor award is given to the author with the biggest contribution to American literature for children. This book was chosen as the 2015 winner along with “The Crossover” by Kwame Alexander. The National Book Award is chosen by a board of judges, this particular book beat over 294 other titles. Both of these awards lets me assume that it is going to be a very quality book, and there is a high possibility that most people will like it.

Furthermore, the illustrations paint a beautiful picture that I like to think is an insight into a child’s mind, which I is a key element in this book and what makes it so great. Since the book is narrated by a child the intentional simplicity of the words and the controlled chaos that is the illustrations breathes unadulterated life into a rather normal children’s book.

The reviews I found were from those who have read the book. Here are just a few of what I found:

This book is not only a rhyming book, it could be used for multiple lessons such as math, social emotion, music, and introduction to poems in Pre-k thru 1st. It’s fun, entertaining, and the art work is done as if a student created it. I believe that the sing-a-long

Alice following the rabbit down the hole shows the curiosity she, like most other children, has. She follows the rabbit throughout Wonderland, almost as if it’s a guide. The rabbit can also be seen as an older figure in Alice’s life that sparks the curiosity into adulthood for her. Alice sees something intriguing in that person and their being older that gets her curious as to what it might be, just as a talking rabbit might spring her interest. She looks up to them and wants to have the qualities they do. Alice follows the rabbit as she would this person to quench her curiosity and see exactly what is going on in this part of life that Alice is so far naive to.

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.

We meet him for the first time in this novel, when he is 22, and a salesman in the local department store. Married to the second best sweetheart of his high school years, he is the father of a preschool son and husband to an alcoholic wife. We are at ground zero watching Rabbit struggle with aging, religion, sexuality (particularly sexuality), nature, and the trade-offs between freedom and attachment, and rebellion and

This version of the book titled The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson was much better than any of the other versions I have read. This version includes more in depth details about what actually happens to the little ugly duckling. The detail helps the reader better understand what is happening in the book because they can actually picture the different events that are taking place. The book is also better because it has detailed pictures of each event that is taking place so the reader can actually see the different things the duckling is going through while their reading the book. These different points tend to keep children more interested in the book and make them want to read and learn from it themselves.

I want to introduce "Peekaboo, Baby!" written by Susan Amerikaner and illustrated by Nadeem Zaidi. The reading level for this book is for 9 month babies. The characters are Mimi a little monkey and her father, who tries to teach her new words and objects. Every time he asks her "Mimi, Mimi, who is that …?" she found frog, kitty, her brother or her mother. She can learn to look and observe the things around her. The book is hard with a little monkey toy putting his hand on his eyes and very colorful which make the children and the adults choose it, also it can be used after reading to play and ask other question in the real life. The children always smile or laugh when they heard peekaboo! Yes I will choose other books by this author because

Would you read a book about adventure, survival and brotherhood? What if it was about humanity and nature? Now, what if it involved bunnies? Watership Down is an award winning book by Richard Adams. Described as ‘redefining anthropomorphic fiction’ by critics, the book won both the Carnegie medal and the Guardian children’s prize. Tackling big ideas, the author weaves an adult tale of human struggle disguised as a book about bunnies. Besides granting the powers of speech and intellect, he has gifted his rabbits with trembling fears, clownish wit, a folklore of proverbs and poetry, and a language called Lapine, complete with a glossary!

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll endures as one of the most iconic children 's books of all time. It remains one of the most ambiguous texts to decipher as Alice 's adventures in Wonderland have created endless critical debate as to whether we can deduce any true literary meaning, or moral implication from her journey down the rabbit hole. Alice 's station as a seven year old Victorian child creates an interesting construct within the novel as she attempts to navigate this magical parallel plain, yet retain her Victorian sensibilities and learn from experience as she encounters new creatures and life lessons. Therefore, this essay will focus on the debate as to whether Alice is the imaginatively playful child envisaged by the Romantics, or a Victorian child whose imagination has been stunted by her education and upbringing.
