The Mind's Eye

Beschreibung

These three stories are designed to be read aloud to a young child. Unusually, they are not illustrated but aim to prompt the child's own "mind's eye", encouraging the development of visual images which can be neglected in our screen-dominated times. The overall length of each story allows the child to follow and retain simple plot and character developments over time, while shorter chapters create a satisfying whole for one reading session. The author's experience shows that young children can enjoy and be stimulated by quite demanding vocabulary and sentence structure. Each story combines everyday family life with exciting encounters with magical beings.
