Synopsis: |
Clarice Bean is very bad at spelling. She thinks it is
far better to be able to mend a hem using a stapler,

for the whole school to take part in a spelling bee
and it gives Clarice a stomachache. But when Karl
Wrenbury has a family problem and gets into really
big trouble, Clarice does something utterly
unexpected
Lauren Child is my favourite children's writer.

twelve. If you want to know more about this story,

Synopsis: |
This is one of my favourite children’s books. I used
to love to read it around Halloween-time especially.
‘The Green Ribbon’ story is my favourite story in
the book.
It was about a girl who always wore a green ribbon
tied around her neck. As she grew older and fell in l
ove with a boy that she later married. She always kept
it a secret as to why she wore it. He always asked,
but she would never tell. Finally, when she was very
old and on her death bed, she told him her secret.
He untied the ribbon, and Jenny’s head fell off!
What’s a weird story! But I totally loved it!
The illustrations are spectacular and very creepy,
and the stories are wonderfully told twists on classic.
It is perfect for kids. |

her tortoise, Alfie. One day she tells Mr Hoppy that

a great idea that he tells her to say the words written
on a paper to Alfie three times a day. He then goes
out and buys no less than one hundred and forty
tortoises. They all have dark shells to match Alfie's,
but are heavier than Alfie.

Audience: |
P.5-6 students |
Synopsis: |
The Little Prince is one of the most famous books
and it was translated into more than 250 languages
In the story, the little prince meets a lot of grown-
ups during his journey: a king who wants to control
others; a conceited man who loves flattering words;
a tippler who blinds himself by alcohol; a
businessman who cares nothing but profits; a
lamplighter who is stuck in his job; and a
geographer who shuts himself rom the beauty
around. All these grown-ups’ focus are
themselves, confined and narrow-minded.
Ostensibly The Little Prince is a book for children,
but it poses several profound questions on life and
love. The author displays his viewpoints through the
conversation between the little prince and the
narrator. This tale is initiating to not only kids but
adults; the former enjoy the adventure plot while the
latter find the philosophical points. As with the happy
ending of general fairy tales, The Little Prince sends
off a message on everlasting love and friendship,
which is deeply buried within “people of true
understanding”.
