PDF / EPUB File Name: Clever_Polly_and_the_Stupid_Wolf_-_Catherine_Storr.pdf, Clever_Polly_and_the_Stupid_Wolf_-_Catherine_Storr.epub Authors / Illustrators I find it really interesting to hear what authors and illustrators enjoy reading or have enjoyed reading with children. In this category you will find recommendations written by authors and illustrators along with books that they have written and / or illustrated. Shall I give it to a little boy who is interested in how things work?' the wolf suggested, cautiously wrapping the bomb up in the remains of the too-small paper bag. Author Catherine Storr was educated at St. Paul's Girls' School and went on to study English at Newnham College, Cambridge. She then went to medical school and worked part-time as a Senior Medical Officer in the Department of Psychological Medicine of the Middlesex Hospital from 1950 to 1963. I read this with the 8 year old I was babysitting and she really enjoyed it. A few old fashioned words like 'perambulator' which she struggled with but I explained what they meant.

Polly is being tormented by a rather unpleasant wolf who constantly threatens to eat her! Polly, however, is far too clever for the silly wolf and devises a number of delicious ways to prevent him from eating her!

The book contains a literary discussion theme throughout the stories for example ‘Monday’s Child’, in which Polly and the (not so stupid) wolf have a discussion, the wolf proves himself to be rather good at talking about poems, scoffing at the kind that merely rhymes and telling Polly that proper poetry should “make you feel you understand life for the first time”, before going on to recite a poem about cooking and eating children. The theme is continued throughout with reference to other favourite children’s book however the wolf proves that he has not learnt much from his study of literature throughout the story. This can be used to question children about their understanding of previous stories that they have read. Children will get the sense of ‘correcting’ the wolf which will enhance their prior knowledge.

Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuthOne of the joys of revisiting the tales as an adult is discovering that, like all really good children’s fiction (and films too), there are many levels to them. The wolf is simultaneously a dangerous wild animal, a sexual predator and an annoying little brother, slipping from one role to another within the space of a sentence. In the title story he is at one moment saying “I shall be in your bedroom before it’s light tomorrow morning, crunching up the last of your little bones,” and the next proudly telling Polly that he bought half a pound of beans “with my own money … all by myself”. You get a real sense of the wolf being truly threatening, sinister and cunning, but this is almost immediately dispelled, a few lines on, by his childlike pleasure in having managed some shopping on his own. urn:oclc:863446731 Republisher_date 20150919060055 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20150915060650 Scanner scribe13.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Worldcat (source edition) Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2014-07-10 13:29:27.40946 Bookplateleaf 0004 Boxid IA1131821 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City London Containerid S0022 Donor Aww, Look! They Really Do Like Each Other: Despite The Wolf's desire to kill and eat Polly, she doesn't seem to mind having him around. In "The Wolf in the Zoo", she even helps him to escape captivity despite the fact that he tells her he "might or might not" try to kill her again the moment he gets out. urn:lcp:cleverpollystupi0000stor:epub:975ff4f8-11b1-4373-8ac3-26f92e9c9c04 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier cleverpollystupi0000stor Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t6163q19f Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781903252284
