Brilliant collaboration between 2 child development experts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Sheila Cole's career represents a successful merger between fiction for children themselves and academic studies of child development (together with her husband, Michael Cole, she writes what is arguably the world's leading textbook on child development). In this vibrant storybook, Cole's tale of gender norms and rigid social structure is supplemented by Barbara Rogoff's beautiful paintings. This, Professor Rogoff's first "dabbling" in children's book illustrating, suggests a future career following the dual trajectory of Cole's! Barbara Rogoff is a renowned cultural and developmental psychologist at UC Santa Cruz. The book is definitely worth owning--for students of child psychology and for parents with small children.
"Surprisingly Good"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This story takes place in an imaginary town called Bean Blossom. There are no roosters in Bean Blossom, because when the sun comes up they crow. The people do not like to be disturbed in the morning, so roosters are against the law. One day Mr. Goodhart, a local farmer, goes to the store to buy some hen chicks. Now hen chicks and rooster chicks look very much alike, and by accident Mr. Goodhart buys a rooster chick. When he finds out that the chick is really a rooster, he decides that the rooster has to go into the soup! Will the rooster ever survive? Find out. - I recommend this book for mothers with young children. My mom read it to me when I was little, and I loved it.
