This alphabet book, set at Walden Pond, makes Henry David Thoreau and his love for this historic pond accessible to young children. Wood engravings complement each letter. Source Notes. The title pretty much describes the contents of the book. Each letter has a block of text talking about something Thoreau experienced and then how it's changed in the present day. Might be used in a classroom, and the writing flows smoothly, but no child appeal. At all. I've yet to meet a child who liked wood cuts for one thing geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
This alphabet book brilliantly conveys the essence of 19th-century American author, naturalist and philosopher Henry David Thoreau's solitary sojourn at Walden Pond. For each letter of the alphabet, McCurdy selects an item symbolizing Henry's simple, secluded Walden world, including an anecdotal paragraph explaining how each fits into the Walden idyll, often with comparisons to Walden Pond as it is now. From "A" for the angry ants whose battles Henry described in Walden to "Z" for the zephyrs cooling the pond on summer nights, the alphabetical selections give readers a unique peek at Henry and the natural world he immortalized.
