Frog's Riddle: And other Draw And Tell stories [Spiral-bound]

Richard Thompson (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 1990 | Age Level: 3 and up

What does the ghost at Peterson's farm have in common with Hank and the tooth fairy? What similarities do Claudette, Tiki, Buko and the wanderer share? Where would you find the Pizza Peddler, the Horn Players, Will's Gift and the Locked Box? Discover Frog's Riddle, a collection of twelve graphic stories for children ages three to twelve.

Not only do these extend a child's listening skills but they also appeal to the visual culture of children. The process of story-telling becomes exciting as the story-viewer tests predictions about what is developing artistically.

This review is from: Frog's Riddle: And other Draw And Tell stories (Spiral-bound)

This book are 12 stories. A part can be drawn on blackboard (7). I'm found of "the ghost on Pedersen's farm", a story about ghosts! Before each story the author has drawn the drawing completely, showing with arrows the meaning of each part of final drawing. You will find in this book a story under the sign of st Valentine ("Claudette's valentines"), a story about mutual aid ("Tiki and Buko"), a story about special gift ("Willy's gift"),the story of the trees mysteriously cut ("Tree mites"), the story of mysterious numeral ("The locked box"), a story that like a famous story of Grimm ("Frog's riddle"), a story about a fall of teeth ("Hank and the tooth fairy")and also a story about a pizza delivery man ("The pizza pedaller"). The others storied are:"The horn players", "the Castaways" and "The wanderer". At the end of each story the author give the name of books related to the story. He explained how better tell and which activities to suggest to the kids after reading. A very good book indeed!

This review is from: Frog's Riddle: And other Draw And Tell stories (Spiral-bound)

This is awonderful book for story time or just circle sharing.
The concept is to have a large peice of blank paper preferbly on some sort of stand or on the wall. Start reading the story. As the story
progresses your moving a marker or thick pen along the paper. While telling the story follow the directions and move the marker along. Your making a simple drawing. Untill the last Supensful moment of the story though, your audience doesn't know what your drawing. A Clue: It will be the secret to the story!
