Charlie Changes Into a Chicken

Product Information

And all of that, unbidden, spilled into my writing. Charlie, the hero, changes into animals whenever he is anxious, whenever his problems feel insurmountable and he feels alone. Until Jenny Pearson came on the scene with The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates and The Incredible Record Smashers. Huumoritutkani ei juurikaan värähtänyt Sami muuttuu kanaksi -kirjan kohdalla. Ehkä minulla ei juuri nyt ollut kaistaa kuivakalle brittihuumorille. Sen verran lupsakka kuitenkin, että luin loppuun.

A clever and hilarious story with a hero you'll love... I'm already looking forward to the next one" Parents In Touch Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - I laughed a lot reading this at bedtime to my 7yr old. He laughed even more and would then grab it out of my hands and beg to read another chapter to himself before the light went out! In the words of Jean-Claude the pigeon... I am in love with this most delicious, beautiful and delectable book and I wish to fly away with it!" Laura Ellen Anderson, author of the Amelia Fang series A heart-warming story that has led to comparisons with such celebrated authors as David Walliams and David Solomons. But this is no ordinary children's story. ... (it) doesn't just entertain his readers but can actually help them to deal with their anxieties. - The Irish Examiner

Se oli itse asiassa hölmö ajatus. Älä sulje silmiäsi, koska sitten et pysty lukemaan kirjaa. Pidä silmät apposen auki ja yritä kuvitella, minkä näköinen Sami on. A stand-out star, offering belly-busting hilarity.. Head and shoulders above the competition." The Guardian, Children's Books of the Month Wat enorm goed gedaan is: regelmatig zie je een voetnoot, waarna onder aan de bladzijde op een komische toon een verklaring volgt. Deze verklaringen zorgen er wel voor dat het wat langer duurt voordat het boek helemaal uitgelezen is, maar dat maakt niet uit want je hebt weer een heleboel opgestoken en kunnen gniffelen van plezier! Sam Copelandin esikoiskirja Sami muuttuu kanaksi asettuu kuivanhumoristisen ja nonsensella ilottelevan brittiläisen lastenkirjallisuuden perinteeseen heti Andy Stantonin ja David Walliamsin väliin: Walliamsin tavoin mukana on myös vakavampia teemoja, mutta usein pitkälle polveilevat metavitsit lähestyvät Herra Gummi -kirjoja. Parhaiten kirja sopii hiekkalaatikkotason pierukakkahuumoria arvostaville tokaluokkalaisille, mutta toimii myös erinomaisesti pienemmille ääneen luettavaksi ja isommille 3-4 -luokkalaisille tirskuttavaksi.

A stand-out star, offering belly-busting hilarity.. Head and shoulders above the competition. - The Guardian, Children's Books of the Month

Kasper maakt zich erg druk om de gezondheid van zijn oudere broer, SuperMove. Zo heet hij natuurlijk niet, maar zo noemen we hem in de rest van deze recensie. SuperMove ligt al een hele tijd in het ziekenhuis en de uitslag van een bepaalde scan is heel erg belangrijk! Kasper mist hem enorm en is bang voor wat er misschien gaat gebeuren. I only touch lightly on difficult issues, and the choice is there for adults to open up further conversation if the time and place is right. The anxiety thread could easily be ignored.

Um livro cheio de humor, que me fez dar umas boas gargalhadas (sabiam que as aranhas têm oito rabos? Pois ficam a saber!) e que me deixa muito contente por os autores de livros juvenis estarem a escrever livros para explicarem o que é a ansiedade e de que forma podemos lutar contra ela! Told from Charlie’s point of view, there is a dark side to the seemingly comedic nature of this book as you realise that Charlie’s animal habits are a cause of a bigger problem. This is a book that isn’t what you expect, cleverly portraying ways of dealing with stress and anxiety, and providing some sound advice throughout. Charlie McGuffin has inexplicably turned into a spider, and can’t work out why. He’s not Spider-Man. He’s not been exposed to radiation. He just changed. And that's one of the reasons my book is close to my heart. What started as something fun and frivolous transformed into a cathartic exercise, exploring the feelings and problems I had as a child, and then with time I realised that perhaps it could be something to help other children - and their parents, caregivers and teachers - to open up a discussion on difficult subjects in a fun, non-threatening way. Why we need to help children deal with their feelings

If they can break into the fortress-like offices of Van Der Gruyne Industries and recover the McGuffins' stolen gold, maybe Charlie won't have to move away after all. Laugh-out-loud funny, with an important underlying message on how to cope with anxiety." Abie Longstaff I originally set out to write a story about a boy who changes into animals. I wanted it to be funny and a little bit disgusting (because I suspected that's what kids really wanted to read), but I had no intention of writing anything serious. A brilliant debut... a book that is not only laugh-out-loud funny but offers important advice about coping with anxiety." The Mail on Sunday, Children's Books of the Month

Welcome to The Nothing to See Here Hotel! A hotel for magical creatures, where weird is normal for Frankie Banister and his parents who run the hotel.Ik las dit boek samen met mijn zevenjarige zoon. Al onmiddellijk werd er met grapjes gegooid. En ze waren nog grappig ook! Zelfs voor mij, toch wel een vijfentwintig jaar ouder dan de doelgroep.. In a future when humans are believed to be extinct, what will one curious robot do when it finds a girl who needs its help? A clever and hilarious story with a hero you'll love... I'm already looking forward to the next one - Parents In Touch Duik in de fantastische wereld van Mus & kapitein Kwaadbaard in dit debuut van (stem)acteur Kevin Hassing!
