Produktbeschreibung
(Bilingual English-French edition / Edition bilingue anglais-français) This is a delightful and humorous tale about a chicken who learns to speak as we do - with unexpected consequences. The surprising events that follow intrigue young children and, and at the same time, alert them in a very amusing way to the dangers of being too quick to believe everything they hear. Illustrator Jeff Jackson creates a lively and lighthearted world, rich in color and expression, in which anything can happen. This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East. For more than a thousand years, it has entertained young people and helped foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. C'est une histoire délicieuse et humoristique sur un poulet qui apprend à parler comme nous - avec des conséquences inattendues. Les événements surprenants qui suivent intriguent les jeunes enfants et, en même temps, les alertent de façon très amusante sur les dangers d'être trop prompt à croire tout ce qu'ils entendent. L'illustrateur Jeff Jackson crée un monde vivant et léger, riche en couleurs et en expressions, dans lequel tout peut arriver. Ce conte est l'une des centaines d'histoires développementales soufies recueillies par Idries Shah à partir de sources orales et écrites en Asie centrale et au Moyen-Orient. Depuis plus de mille ans, il divertit les jeunes et les aide à développer chez eux la capacité d'examiner leurs hypothèses et de penser par eux-mêmes.
Autorenporträt
Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding.
