The Great Paper Caper: Oliver Jeffers

Product Information

The secrecy surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court derives from a policy set by the fourth Chief Justice, John Marshall, who wanted the Court to issue single, unanimous decisions and to conceal all evidence of disagreement. His critics considered this policy to be incompatible with a government accountable to the people. “The very idea of cooking up opinions in conclave begets suspicions,” Thomas Jefferson complained. This criticism has never entirely quieted, but every time things get noisy the Court simply brazens it out. To historians and journalists who are keen to have the Court’s papers saved and unsealed, advocates of judicial secrecy insist that the ordinary claims of history and of public interest do not apply to the papers of U.S. Supreme Court Justices; the only claim on the Justices is justice itself.

Look at the illustrations that show what the animals are saying. Can you turn these into speech bubbles? Could you use those speech bubbles to write what they are saying, using the correct punctuation? Oliver loves plastic food, suitcase handles and Elvis, and has developed a bizarre habit of endlessly writing lists he never reads. He remains hell bent on travelling all over the world. Esta es otra obra de arte del gran Oliver Jeffers que vuelve a sorprender a grandes y pequeños con su humor dulce y desenfadado. La trama, como en otras ocasiones, se encuentra en conexión con uno de los problemas que nos atañe a todos hoy en día: la sobreexplotación del medio ambiente. I think it's unnecessarily complicated for younger kids and not interesting enough for older kids while being somewhat confusing for parents like me.We arrived at school this morning to find that there were branches and sawdust scattered down the path leading to school! Where did they come from? I just found it bad that he would just cut down trees, or parts of trees. You could clearly see there are people living in those trees.

Touching and funny, this is also a visually sophisticated picture book which lightly carries an important message about the use – and misuse - of resources. This fall, the Supreme Court issued a number of rulings that came as something of a surprise—refusing to hear a series of cases involving same-sex marriage, for instance—but there’s no reason to believe that historians will ever really know how the Court arrived at these decisions. Very few of the documents that could genuinely illuminate them will survive. The Federal Records Act, passed in 1950, specifically excludes the Supreme Court. In 1978, in the wake of Watergate, Congress passed the Presidential Records Act, which made the papers of American Presidents the property of the federal government; destroying them is a federal crime. There is no judicial equivalent. The Supreme Court’s official papers—formal filings, such as petitions, opinions, and briefs; and official records, such as audio recordings, transcripts, and governmental, case-related correspondence—end up at the National Archives. The papers of the Justices, if they save them, tend to go to the Library of Congress, to their alma maters, to their home towns, or to some other place they happen to like. They’re scattered across the country, and, by the time they arrive, they have, as a rule, been carefully culled.The Heart and the Bottle is wholly compelling for the importance of its message and the brilliance of how that is conveyed in words and pictures. This is a book to return to time and time again says Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids’ editorial expert. The pruned trees are something common in people's yards. Also common is the blame game played by all the animals! Both can make the story more familiar for kids. And a great opportunity for parents to talk about it being wrong to blame people without proof. Anderson’s Pulitzer Prize didn’t end the government harassment. On January 31, 1973, the F.B.I. arrested Les Whitten; he was charged with stealing documents belonging to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Reporters began wearing buttons that read, “Free Les Whitten.” The charges against Whitten had been trumped up; they were dropped. That spring, Anderson published grand-jury records that had been leaked in the Watergate investigation. But the breaking of the Watergate story marked the end of the era of Anderson. It was the biggest scoop on Nixon, and Anderson hadn’t got it.
