Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
One of the biggest educational problems facing parents today is “passive reading”–the tendency among kids to skim a book without giving thought to its meaning. So, when Larry and Nancy Goldstone were asked by their local library to start a parent-child book group, they embarked on a mission to turn children into dynamic readers. Their method is simple and involves teaching kids and their parents how to detect a book’s underlying themes by discussing its primary elements of character, setting, and conflict.
Using warmth and humor, the Goldstones make the experience of finding a book’s hidden meaning tremendous fun, whether they are discussing Mr. Popper’s Penguins, Charlotte’s Web, or Animal Farm. With Deconstructing Penguins, parents can learn not only which books to read with their kids, but also how to talk to them about literature.
