Stories, Pictures and Reality Book

Stories, Pictures and Reality follows two children as they work out the reality status of stories and pictures, with a daily parent-observer record from the birth of the first child until the second is eight, a span of eleven years in all. Together these children pick through the meaning of stories and the motivations of the characters they discover in this unique first-hand description of the discernment that children bring to books from an early age, full of revealing quotes that tell us a great deal about the cognitive development of our young readers: "Itâ??s a joke 'cause it couldnâ??t really have happened", "Iâ??ll tell you what's pretend: Batman, Robin, Superman, pirates, cowboys and Indians". "Pussy cats donâ??t fly kites!", "The man who drawed it was wrong". In analysis this longitudinal study shows that children have more insight and understanding than they are often given credit for and that they approach subjects that puzzle the most sophisticated of thinkers with an elegant simplicity beyond the expectations of conventional psychologists and childrenâ??s literature commentators. This book urges readers, especially practitioners and academics, to afford greater respect to what young children are capable of in this area. Read More
