Other stories celebrate everyday life: Eliza and the Moonchild (2007) is a delightful and inventive story in which a moonchild becomes bored with the whiteness of his moon home and decides to visit Earth, where he meets Eliza who shows him the beautiful colours of the planet. Though it is a fantasy story, it is rooted in the child's everyday reality - the excitement of the moonchild exploring Earth for the first time encourages readers to observe and appreciate the world we live in, and does in fact echo the excitement of a toddler's day-to-day explorations and discoveries. Local Hero is appealing, but not dynamic enough for the best display of Evans’s talents. The original plot – Houston-based oil company sends Gucci-clad executive loafering over to buy an entire Highland village for a petrochemical development – looks prescient, and David Greig’s adaptation has sharpened its edges. Axing two main characters, and making the part played here by soaring-voiced Lillie Flynn less frisky and more furious, Greig has brought out some particularly 21st-century concerns about coastal expansion – not only environmental degradation but house-snatching by incomers – and made the villagers slightly less folksy and more worldly. Yet the strange fairytale jumble of mood and time remains: here is elegy, venality and despair, digital watches and, of course, a coin-slot phone box. Hilton McRae’s nicely etched astronomer-beachcomber, sitting on the strand in his armchair with telescope and wise saws, looks like a forerunner of Jerusalem’s Johnny Rooster.The main character is portrayed as a girl with an enquiring mind, and rebellious spirit. The character is released from constraints by inhabiting abnormal worlds. This protagonist is inquisitive and not scared to meet new and exciting experiences. Alice first reveals herself to the reader, appropriately, in a thought: "’and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?' "This is Alice's unique thought in the real world just prior to her dream. Emma Chichester Clark has illustrated a vast number of children's books, and she has also written and illustrated many of her own stories, mainly for very young children. Alice learns to understand the adult world somewhat more. In fact, she is growing up. This is also represented by her physical changes during the story, the growing and shrinking. Dacă nu ați avut până acum ocazia să citiți despre drumul lui Alice prin gaura de iepure către o lume ciudată și interesantă, vă invit să o faceți. Această ediție a păstrat farmecul poveștii originale, și mi-a oferit clipe de relaxare.

This author/illustrator goes from strength to strength! Mouth-watering illustrations, ideal text, two mightily engaging characters -- altogether the star on top of the tree.' Nici povestea adaptată de aceasta nu m-a dezamăgit, și mă bucur că autoarea a reușit să creeze un echilibru minunat între desen și text. McDermott says he thinks of this stage version as being not so much an adaptation of the film as ‘a sister’ to it

Attached activities

Chichester Clark has written several series that have been particularly acclaimed, most notably Blue Kangaroo and Melrose and Croc. The stories in these series celebrate friendship and explore the wide range of emotions that are experienced by young children: the Melrose and Croc series features a friendship between two anthropomorphised animals, a dog and a crocodile, while the Blue Kangaroo stories feature a little girl, Lily, and her beloved toy, Blue Kangaroo, through whom the child is able to explore and enact her own feelings and experiences. Blue Kangaroo is brought to life and given his own 'voice' through Lily's imagination. In these two series, as in all Chichester Clark's books, the characters are endearing (to both child and adult readers), engaging and emotionally authentic, and the stories combine poignancy with humour. In the Blue Kangaroo stories, Lily's experiences reflect the everyday ups and downs of life for a small child, such as losing a favourite toy ( Where Are You, Blue Kangaroo? 1999); accepting responsibility for one's behaviour ( It Was You, Blue Kangaroo! 2001); and learning about the joy of giving ( Just For You, Blue Kangaroo! 2004). The Melrose and Croc stories show the two characters on various adventures - visiting the city; a trip to the countryside; a day out at the beach - but the underlying theme is always the heart-warming way in which these two friends love and care for each other.
