The stories are not "full of drawings" because, in this way, it is intended to encourage children to use their imagination and love reading.In the words of the same author: "Nowadays, children with all those new technologies, are "saturated with images" and these new technologies have accustomed them to being totally "visual" and therefore not using their imagination at all and this, undoubtedly, leads them to not reading, to not love Reading.Why to take the "trouble" of reading when the image tells me everything? When they are given a text without drawings or images or perhaps just two or three images, children "force" their minds to imagine what the text tells them, to use that tool they had "stopped" in their heads and to enjoy images created in their minds, to be able to "illustrate" themselves the text that has been given to them.When they are taught to use "the little motor"; their imagination, nobody is going to stop it! And they'll enter in the wonderful world of books, the fascinating world of reading where they can create the images in their minds and develop the plot of the text with a brilliance and sharpness that could never be found in a drawing or in a video" This item is printed on demand.
