Duck, Death and the Tulip

Product Information

Parents who choose to discuss death with their young children may feel this odd import is an excellent discussion starter (if they don't find it peculiar and macabre). Non riporto mai, qui, gli albi illustrati che leggo per lavoro. Questo profilo si riempirebbe di consigli di lettura che non interesserebbero a nessuno e probabilmente non avrei neppure il tempo di starci dietro davvero - tolto che, il tutto, il più delle volte, si risolverebbe in una rapida attribuzione di stelline giacché per sopravvivere ai costi della vita "vera" devono catalogarne di decine alla volta.

Having failed to resolve the existential perplexity of nonexistence, they return to the simple satisfactions of living and decide to climb a tree. From award-winning author and illustrator, Wolf Erlbruch, comes one of the world’s best children’s books about grief and loss. Voted one of the 100 greatest children’s books of all time by the BBC. Few readers could fail to be impressed in one way or another, by this outstanding book. It’s haunting and it’s hopeful. What more could anyone ask of great literature?

Great children’s story about death. I love the art and representation of death and the process of dying, and how it doesn’t film death in euphemisms. It shows kindness and generosity and friendship. Death doesn’t have any answers about death.This Webby award-winning video collection exists to help teachers, librarians, and families spark kid wonder and curiosity. TKSST features smarter, more meaningful content than what's usually served up by YouTube's algorithms, and amplifies the creators who make that content. I’ve also used the book in philosophy sessions with fourth and fifth grade students, and it’s led to some thoughtful exchanges about life and death, what it means to be mortal, and whether anything ever really dies. Overall, I thought this was a nice book about life and death. It is certainly something that can be used in a classroom or even in a family setting that is dealing with the passing of a loved one or in situations where students or children have questions about death. Like other books about death, such as City Dog, Country Frog (Mo Willems, 2010), the author uses the season as a symbol/stage of life, which is something good for young readers to be aware of and look for in future readings. but it’s a picture book for all ages. Graphically it’s the most beautiful book. There’s so much courage in the The character of Death is depicted as a dressing-gown clad figure with a stylised skull for a head. Obviously any representation of a skull comes heavily loaded with our pre-conceived baggage that we hang on this symbolism, but the look of the character is softened by the rest of the figure who looks like they are perpetually ready for bed or haven’t bothered to get dressed for the day.

Loved by adults and children, parents and grandparents, also suitable for schools, grief centres and counsellors The ending isn’t sad, because it’s just life. And though this book may be intended for the more adult reader, it’s told so philosophically, and with such inherent humour, it’s suitable for kids of any age. Kate: Its greatest service is [that] it makes us consider the fact that we’re with death all the time and when it It would be helpful for the implied reader to have an awareness of life and death, some knowledge of predators and prey and an awareness of potential danger.Why do you think people are so scared of death?

I guess the big question for anyone before they read this, is what is the philosophical conclusion of this book if it is not heaven or hell? Give it a read and it might give you something to consider as you take one more step towards the inevitable. Soft Philosophical" (ปรัชาสายนุ่มนวล) เป็นหนังสือที่บอกเล่าถึงสัจธรรมแห่งการจากลาและความตายได้อย่างอบอุ่นและอ่อนโยน ลายเส้นก็ดูสะอาดตา มีความละมุนและเรียบง่าย การออกแบบตัวละครก็ไม่ได้มีความซับซ้อนใดๆ โดยเฉพาะตัวละครที่ชื่อว่า "ความตาย" ที่ไม่ได้ดูน่าหวาดกลัวหวาดหวั่น กลับทำให้รู้สึก "ธรรมดา" เสียด้วยซ้ำ ราวกับผู้เขียนพยายามบอกว่า แท้จริงแล้ว ความตายไม่ได้หน้าตาน่ากลัวอย่างที่คิดด้วยซ้ำ Death is something all children ask about eventually, either as an abstract idea, or because a grandparent or pet has died.

At the moment Older Brother, Little Brother and I are in the middle of an intense week of rehearsals for the Ryedale Festival’s Community Opera (in North Yorkshire, UK) – this year’s production is a modernised version of the 15th Century English morality play Everyman by Em Whitfield Brookes and Tim Brookes.

Esta pequeña historia tiene todo lo que un cuento necesita para robarme el corazón: ilustraciones sencillas pero delicadas, un argumento que, aún llendo al grano, encuentra espacio para pequeñas bromas y detalles exquisitos, personajes tiernos y entrañables pero sin rozar siquiera lo cursi, una historia que cabe en menos de 20 páginas pero te hace abrazar el libro al terminar y simplemente permanecer así durante 10 minutos, en silencio, pensando en por qué es tan simple y tan bueno al mismo tiempo...

Me lo sono dovuto annotare, qua, per archiviarlo a lungo termine in questa memoria digitale che è il mio giornale di lettura e, quindi, per tangenza, un diario di vita.
