The Epical Tales of Billy Bumpkin (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Billy Bumpkin is a book in nine episodes about a young boy and his single mom who live in a semi-rural setting in some unspecified timeframe. In the first episode Billy is age seven. He wanders out the door and gets lost. In the last episode he is age twelve. He saves his mother from harm in a storm. I call this a book of epiphanies because it's about all that Billy discovers as he grows and explores his environs and all its characters. The Billy stories can be read by an older grammar school student or middle-school student. They would be appropriate to be read to beginning readers. The book has ten illustrations, so for the very young -- the five year-olds - a grandparent or parent could simply review the illustrations and talk about the stories that lay ahead. Billy contains no video, no bad words, nothing sexual in reference, no violence, and no shoulder-fired weapons. The font is even deliberately large so that young kids -- or grandparents -- can find it easier to read. Billy is a joy.
