We're flying to The Giraffe Language School on PeaceIsland, far, far away from things we 'have to' do!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It's visually outstanding and provides an unambiguous message through the story, giving thereader/listener the oppurtunity to find it for themself. The text seems suited for a slightly olderage-range than the illustrations would suggest, but this type of book is ideal for adult-child (groupor individual) sharing, so the text with opportunities for entertaining vocal inflections seems ideal.Dr.Melissa Juchniewicz, Visiting Faculty LecturerUmass Lowell University, Senior Teaching Faculty,First-Year Writing ProgramProfessor of Children's Literature, Department of EnglishFaculty Fellow, Living Learning Communities-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In raising a child, we are creating the future. The educational and cultural policies of a societyshape future generations. This book offers a solid critique of education based on memorizeddogmas and stereotypes. Not only is it relevant to children, but to everyone involved in raisingthe next generation. The author, Sezer Aksoy, presents something new but within a child-friendly, fantastical and fairytale-like content.In a child's rapidly developing mental and imaginary world, their inner journey towardsdeveloping a sense of democracy, respect for others' differences, and confidence inexpressing themselves, could not be captured more beautifully than in The Giraffe LanguageSchool.Dr. Nevin EracarClinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist,Head of Pscychology Dept. at T.C.
