Deconstructing Penguins: Parents, Kids, and the Bond of Reading
€œBooks are like puzzles,€ write Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone. €œThe author€s ideas are hidden, and it is up to all of us to figure them out.€ In this indispensable reading companion, the Goldstones€“noted parent-child book club experts€“encourage grownups and young readers alike to adopt an approach that will unlock the magic and power of reading.
With the Goldstones help, parents can inspire kids€ lifelong love of reading by teaching them how to unlock a book€s hidden meaning. Featuring fun and incisive discussions of numerous children€s classics, this dynamic guide highlights key elements€“theme, setting, character, point of view, climax, and conflict€“and paves the way for meaningful conversations between parents and children.
€œBest of all,€ the Goldstones note, €œyou don€t need an advanced degree in English literature or forty hours a week of free time to effectively discuss a book with your child. This isn€t Crime and Punishment, it€s Charlotte€s Web.€Â
