Theme: Reading motivation, Imagination, Discovery
Style: Playful and full of surprises, with wonderful illustrations that "bring the words to life."
At the Badger's bookstore, one can find books for every animal: for bears and elephants, for tigers and dinosaurs, for crocodiles and whales. But there is one book that Badger does not have, the one with the Jellyfish on the Moon. And that is exactly what Rory, the little fox, keeps asking for again and again. Badger looks everywhere but cannot find it. The book Rory is asking for has never been written. Since it doesn't exist, maybe someone should write it and illustrate it as well?
Theme: Reading motivation, Imagination, Discovery
Style: Playful and full of surprises, with wonderful illustrations that "bring the words to life."
Suitable for:
It is the ideal choice for children who are just beginning to discover the world of books. Perfect for bedtime reading, as it encourages children to imagine their own adventures, but also for use in the classroom, as an opportunity for young students to fall in love with the library.
Why This Book Is Special:
Celebrates the book: Highlights the value of reading not as an obligation, but as the ultimate adventure.
Impressive illustration: Paddy Donnelly creates images full of detail that keep children's interest undiminished.
Humor and emotion: The main character, a badger, is someone children will love for his curiosity and enthusiasm.
Cultivates imagination: Shows how a book can transform a room into a jungle, an ocean, or outer space.
Suggestions for use by parents or educators:
Use it as a tool to introduce the concept of the lending library to your child.
Take advantage of the images to play "observation games," searching for hidden details on the pages where the badger's imagination runs wild.
With the book you can:
Discuss: What is your favorite book and where does it "take you" when you read it?
Ask the child: "If you opened a book and a whole world jumped out, what would you want it to have inside? Dinosaurs, knights, or maybe sweets?"
Play/Create: Make your own "reading corner" at home together, like the badger, and decorate it with drawings from the worlds you discovered in the book.
