Description

Children in early years foundation stage would enjoy looking at the beautiful water colour illustrations and could relate to the story as it is read to them, and confident readers in upper key stage one could enjoy this independantly. The irrepressible Fister family (Rachel Fister's Blister) is back, this time in high dudgeon over a younger clan member's missing tooth. It's only when Little Beaver turns to a wise old beaver for advice, that he learns that he will never find The Echo that was crying at the other side of the pond, but that in his quest to find The Echo, he did indeed find friendship. But one day, when he starts to cry, he hears someone else crying too, on the other side of the pond. I feel that this book would be best read aloud; allowing the children to listen and study the images without having to focus on anything else.

To help children understand the book a previous experience of feeling of lonely and ‘friendless’ would really enhance the meaning of the book, but also understanding happy and sad emotions. At the end of their journey the creatures meet a wise old beaver, who explains the mystery voice to them: ``No matter where you are, the Echo is always across the pond from you. A freelance journalist, she has written for the New Yorker, the Times, and many publications, as well as co-producing a documentary film, On This Island. The text is good for introducing children to spoken language, it helps the children to understand how to communicate with people using friendly language. Books will take you on adventures, allow you to travel the world, teach you new things, make you laugh and sing, and so much more!Along the way, he’s joined by a duck, an otter and a turtle, who each claim, “I do need a friend, but it wasn’t me who was crying. A touching, beautifully illustrated children's tale * Western Morning News * Gets the mixture, for child and adult, exactly right and is a story of enormous charm.

One day when my son, Alexander, was about 18 months old, I took him to visit a pond in New Hampshire where I had spent my childhood summers. The most complex idea in the book is the concept of an echo, this may be hard to understand if one hasn’t been experienced before so having experienced an echo would help. She works in watercolour, using a muted palette, to create the detail of her winsome furry, feather and scaly animals in the foreground, set against the more impressionistic, softly glowing landscapes in the distance. This poetic picture book takes readers into the snowy Yukon Territory, where wolves roam (as they once did throughout the Northern Hemisphere).

It would be a good book for the beginning of Christmas term, especially with KS1, the book being an explanation to the children that everyone will have friends and we should all be friends and that everybody is there for each other. Sarah Fox-Davies has the rare talent of making her illustrations cute and adorable, whilst retaining their accuracy.

With a strong main message around the book (there are always people to be friends with you don’t have to be lonely) it could be used cross-curricular with English and certainly PSHE. In this story by Maine author Amy MacDonald, Little Beaver jumps into his canoe hoping to find someone else who is lonely like him and looking for a friend.The illustrated has carefully thought about details; shadowing on the pond, the colours on the mountains and different shades for the grass and trees. The book is about Little Beaver, at the beginning he has no friends and is stuck on a side of a very big lake. Part of the Little Beaver books by Amy McDonald, this story proves pop psychology wrong again: that someone who sounds like an echo. Since the day you were born, your doctor has been giving you Raising Readers books at each of your check-ups. Along the way, he's joined by a duck, an otter and a turtle, who each claim, "I do need a friend, but it wasn't me who was crying.
