This story about a village blacksmith offers a life metaphor as it talks about the seemingly simple life of this blacksmith and father. I would use this book in a 3rd-5th grade setting as an introduction into writing stories with poetry, but also in a middle school setting, maybe 5th-6th, to discuss literary devices such as imagery, similes, metaphors, and allegories. One of those poems we read in grammar school that sticks with us later in life. I must say Longfellow had a way with description "Under a spreading chestnut tree the village smithy stands. The smith, a mighty man is he, with large and sinewy hands, and the muscles of his brawny arms are strong as iron bands." I can see this man, his environment, and recognize the labor he does. But it is the softer side that makes this poem immortal. It is the recognition of what the man feels and how he betters his community that makes me love it. Longfellow's poem about the village blacksmith is accompanied by richly textured illustrations by Karas. Through the illustrations, the blacksmith of old from the original poem is transformed to a modern town's blacksmith, still charming and unassuming, forging metal for all kinds of uses in the community. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The neighborhood blacksmith is a quiet and unassuming presence, tucked in his smithy under the chestnut tree. Sturdy, generous, and with sadness of his own, he toils through the day, passing on the tools of his trade, and come evening, takes a well-deserved rest. Longfellow's timeless poem is enhanced by contemporary art in this modern retelling of the tender tale of a humble craftsman. An afterword about the tools and the trade of blacksmithing will draw readers curious about this age-honored endeavor, which has seen renewed interest in developed countries and continues to be plied around the world.--Amazon.com.
