Metaphor for Cultural Differences Found in New Children’s Book
Laney Laube Hoover’s The Three Little Kits and the Big, Bad Beast emphasizes independence, teamwork, and acceptance of others among young readers.
LA MESA, CA (PRWEB) August 27, 2006
Laney Laube Hoover’s new take on an old fable introduces three savvy kittens, each with his own special talent, who match wits with a big, bad. . . puppy? The Three Little Kits and the Big, Bad Beast teaches kids that appearances—cultural and otherwise—can be deceiving, and that curiosity, instead of killing the cat, often creates opportunities to make a new friend.
The kittens learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of others as they try to obey their mother and take their first steps into a diverse new world. The personification of the characters allows young children to relate and learn from the behavior of the three kittens and their mother.
Beautiful, full-color illustrations accompany this exciting story, adding personality to the animal characters and assisting young readers with comprehension. Hoover, a teacher herself, creates a story that students will enjoy and teachers can use in class by pointing out the many examples of cause and effect, idioms, alliteration, sequencing, prediction, and social skills in a classroom setting.
