Fluff the Farting Fish (Rosen and Ross)

Product Information

No, nowhere near. I love serious books, books that deal with the serious issues of our day, whether it’s climate change or race or generational/intergenerational stuff. However, it’s not that humour and humorous books don’t deal with these issues. Despereaux’s story is that of surviving against the odds. Despite being the runt of the mouse world this tiny mouse proves to be the bravest and most daring of rodents. He doesn’t fit in with the other castle mice to the point of which he is exiled to the dungeon to fend for himself against the unscrupulous rats. Elvira desidera tantissimo un cucciolo e lancia continuamente messaggi alla mamma che alla fine decide di prenderglielo. Torna dal negozio di animali ma… ha un pesce! Elvira non si perde d’animo e decide di addestrarlo come un cagnolino, ma visto che tutti i tentativi vanno a vuoto, decide di tentare con altro e alla fine Pesce Batuffolo le fa avere un “cenno” che qualcosa l’ha imparata. Pig’s hilarious diary documents his time in the yard as he comes to the realisation that he’s being fattened up by the hungry farmer he adores. They’re important because the foundations of everything that we see on TV, on films and that we read are laid down when we read as a child. For example; Enid Blyton’s books are, to an extent, manuals which teach us how to read whodunnits, detective books, adventures and thrillers. They’re full of the same principles of writing; there’s mysteries you have to unfold, red herrings that send you the wrong way.

Shnipp the dog loves to play fetch with Julie and Lara in the park, but she doesn't love their annoying laughs. So one day she decides to run off. It's not long before Shnipp finds a new life with Bessie the Bagel Lady, eating delicious bagels every day. You’ve done a lot of work into funny writing. Do funny books get the same attention in mainstream media as more serious works? I have often written about my life and family, but I also write occasional fantasy (usually based in a real place) and non-fiction.

Try to make a space, when you first bring a piece into the classroom, to enable the students to approach it in an open-ended way. No matter what notes you have to do later, give the students space to express their likes and dislikes, to relate it to other texts or experiences from their life. I love that Despereaux refuses to conform, proving to us all not to judge a hero by it’s miniature, nonconforming whiskers. 6. The newt from Matilda by Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake

Babe couldn’t be further from the stereotype of pigs as the grotty, greedy, gruel-hogging farmyard bottom feeders. This orphaned piglet not only wins the hearts of Farmer Hogget and the animals on the farm and of course us, the readers, he perfects the art of shepherding proving that a pig can be so much more than just a swine. 2. Templeton from Charlotte’s Web by EB White and Garth Williams

About Michael Rosen

I got interested in it around 15 or 16, when my dad suddenly decided to do a bit of home schooling and started teaching me English Literature at home. We had an anthology produced by some American critics and I suddenly thought, “blimey… this stuff’s good”. But the seeds must have been sown earlier even though I was ignoring it.

And guess what? He gets one on Christmas morning!

Many people (and mainstream media) depict digital media as detrimental to children’s literacy. Do you agree with this or is there a role mobile phones and new technology can play in encouraging young people to read/write? Badger is a true champion of the five-second-rule. Well, more like the half an hour rule, because it took that long to get through this side-splittingly funny picture book, with my son rolling around on the floor in hysterics. OK. It was me. I was rolling around on the floor in hysterics. Hannah Shaw’s illustrations are beyond hilarious. These books use humour as a way of dealing with serious topics, using techniques such as hyperbole to throw light on these issues but it doesn’t mean that the issue itself and the raising of the questions isn’t just as serious.
