Download or read book Humor in Contemporary Junior Literature written by Julie Cross and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new book, Julie Cross examines the intricacies of textual humor in contemporary junior literature, using the tools of literary criticism and humor theory. Cross investigates the dialectical paradoxes of humor and debunks the common belief in oppositional binaries of ‘simple’ versus ‘complex’ humor. The varied combinations of so-called high and low forms of humor within junior texts for young readers, who are at such a crucial stage of their reading and social development, provide a valuable commentary upon the culture and values of contemporary western society, making the book of considerable interest to scholars of both children’s literature and childhood studies. Cross explores the ways in which the changing content, forms and functions of the many varied combinations of humor in junior texts, including the Lemony Snickett series, reveal societal attitudes towards young children and childhood. The new compounds of seemingly paradoxical high and low forms of humor, in texts for developing readers from the 1960s onwards, reflect and contribute to contemporary society’s hesitant and uneven acceptance of the emergent paradigm of children’s rights, abilities, participation and empowerment. Cross identifies four types of potentially subversive/transgressive humor which have emerged since the 1960s which, coupled with the three main theories of humor – relief, superiority and incongruity theories – enables a long-overdue charting of developments in humor within junior texts. Cross also argues that the gradual increase in the compounding of the simple and the complex provide opportunities for young readers to play with ambiguous, complicated ideas, helping them embrace the complexities and contradictions of contemporary life.

Book excerpt: The first two sections of this work consider two questions: what does children's writing reveal about their reading experience and competence?; and how can teachers help children to become more careful and critical readers of their own and other people's writing?. In the third section these questions are placed in a theoretical frame which tackles some of the more fundemental issues of culture, language diversity and gender, the relationship between oracy and literacy and how best to help children for whom literacy is a struggle. The final section gives some practical guidance for developing a full and successful literacy curriculum.

Download or read book Little Bo Peep Phone Alone written by John Barwick and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursery Crimes is a riotous reimagining of seven popular nursery rhymes. The central character in each story is Little Miss Muffet who is capable, smart, calm and practical. An amateur sleuth, she has many other hidden talents (locksmith, woodcutter, makeup artist) which serendipitously come into play to help solve the crimes. In each story she teams up with the protagonist (Baaa Baa Black Sheep, Humpty Dumpty etc.) to solve a crime hinted at in the rhyme, but previously concealed. Other familiar nursery rhyme characters also make appearances, as well as some popular fairy story characters (who are often the villains of the piece). Each book reveals the cover-ups and complex web of crime and corruption in each story and finally unlocks the secrets to these much-loved, but confusingly incomplete, rhymes.

Download or read book From the Garden to the Street written by Morag Styles and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From John Bunyan's 'country rhimes' to rude chants about Manchester United, from Ted Hughes to Edward Lear, and from William Blake to the Taylor sisters, Morag Styles covers three hundred years of poetry with infectious enthusiasm and a keen critical eye. In this scholarly and fascinating book, she provides an informative account of the history of poetry written for children in Britain and America in the last three centuries. She analyses the major poets, genres and developments over this period, and traces the continuities between the past and the present. Styles asks fundamental questions which have often been left unanswered: What do we mean by children's poetry? Why did such a seemingly small number of women write poetry for children until recently? The author subscribes to the widest possible definition of poetry, and so the reader will find in this book hymns, songs, playground rhymes, raps and verse - whether trivial or profound. From the Garden to the Street will provoke, inform and entertain academics of children's literature, those who teach it in the classroom, and all of us who still take pleasure in the poetry of childhood.

Download or read book Read on written by Stuart Marriott and published by Paul Chapman Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction has immense benefits for children. It has powerful and positive effects on children's language development, and also provides them with access to a limitless world of artistry and imagination and to vicarious experience, which is both extensive and complex. The purpose of this book is to provide both a rationale and a strategy for the use of fiction in primary schools. A policy framework for fiction is described, and ways in which stories can be appropriately used in teaching and learning in the classroom are proposed. A range of practical ideas for classroom work with specific novels and stories is suggested. The National Curriculum requires that children "develop as enthusiastic, independent and reflective readers." This book will prove a valuable resource for that purpose.
