The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasynovel (or 'heroic romance') written by the English academic J. R. R. Tolkien. The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier work, The Hobbit, but developed into a much larger story. It was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, with much of it being created during World War II.[1] Although intended as a single-volume work, it was originally published in three volumes in 1954 and 1955, and it is in this three-volume form that it is popularly known. It has since been reprinted numerous times and translated into many different languages,[2] becoming one of the most popular works in 20th-century literature.
These children's Halloween board books will delight, not scare, very young children. The sturdy pages are perfect for small hands, and the colorful illustrations will appeal to them. When I taught preschool, Five Little Pumpkins was a favorite fingerplay. I was pleased to find a board book version of the rhyme and think three and four years olds will find it particularly appealing
For Kids/Teens Who Want to Write Poetry
If your older elementary or middle school child enjoys writing poetry or wants to learn to write poetry, I have some books for kids and teens to recommend:
Read A Rhyme, Write A Rhyme not only includes poems that will appeal to 8-12 year olds, it also includes “poemstarts” to inspire young readers to write their own poetry. The oversize illustrations by Meilo So provide vibrant and exuberant splashes of color in the artwork that accompanies the poems selected by poet and educator Jack Prelutsky.
Seeing the Blue Between: Advice and Inspiration for Young Writers was compiled by poet and teacher Paul B. Janeczko. The book is a fascinating collection of poems and letters to young writers from 32 well known poets for children and young adults. I recommend it for children nine through 14.
A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetic Forms provides an introduction to 29 different poetic forms, with poetry selected by Paul B. Janeczko and lively artwork by Chris Raschka. I recommend this book for all ages, including adults.
