The Great Paper Caper: Oliver Jeffers

Product Information

In this unusual book, the forest-dwellers team up to discover who is threatening their environment, but when the culprit is apprehended they generously offer their support inhelping him solve a difficult problem. But it wasn’t a bombshell, because it wasn’t presented. Kurland didn’t have it. Elsie Douglas didn’t have it. No one knows who had it. When life in the forest begins to change; when trees mysteriously lose their branches, when whole tree trunks start to disappear, when homes are lost, the only course of action for the forest dwellers is to begin a full scale investigation. Alibis must be proved, clues must be sought but even so, blame is never far from anyone's thoughts.

I would say the pictures and the premise are for 2-5 year olds and then the court room with all it's language feels out of place.

For a time, the F.B.I. continued the investigation. On October 31, 1973, the man who had been denied access to the papers and whom the bureau had described as its prime suspect was questioned by a federal grand jury. He denied any knowledge of the theft. The records of the grand jury are sealed. I asked Roger Newman if he was the suspect who had been brought before the grand jury. He said yes. “I told them I didn’t know much, and that was that,” he said. I asked him if the experience had been terrifying. He said, “If you tell the truth, and you have nothing to worry about, it can’t be that terrifying.” Once upon a time in a forest, many creatures lived happily alongside one another and in harmony with nature, until one day something very strange happened. Branches began to disappear from the trees but, despite careful and thorough investigation, no one could work out what was going on, until an eyewitness spotted a crucial piece of evidence. I love the turn it takes for treating the cutting of trees as a crime and the way it goes to court. This can be really useful with children as they could see what punishment if any they thought was appropriate for the bear. Generating great discussion and understanding of the text in class.

There was also an envelope for each year group and a copy of the book, The Great Paper Caper by Oliver Jeffers. The front cover had a picture of the Bear! The pictures are fine and the weird humor is ok and we still read it from time to time but I don't think I would recommend it to my friends. Miss Mills: Mr. Guest – I’m really sorry to interrupt your assembly but it’s a bit of an emergency- all of the paper has gone missing and I can’t do any photo copying for the classes. There was loads of paper before the holidays! Exciting new cover reissue of this funny forest story, from award-winning, internationally bestselling picture book creator of Lost and Found, Oliver Jeffers.

Valores como el cuidado por nuestro mundo, la cooperación, la reflexión sobre los actos propios o, incluso, el perdón y la redención son elementos clave de esta narración. Have a paper aeroplane competition, using recycled paper to make your planes. Can you plan the competition? Which prizes could you award (e.g. furthest flight, highest flight, best decoration, best teamwork)? Okay, yeah, it's a mystery all right, and perfectly set up for young children. It will require a parent to help interpret the minimal text, though. I do appreciate that the bear doesn’t actually, y’know, WIN or anything at the end. Jeffers ends the book on a note of triumph that doesn’t actually say, “and then the bear won the contest.” In the end, all the other animals recycle the bear’s discarded, defunct airplanes and turn them into a humungous airplane (love the fact that it’s still lined paper) and he rides it in style to the finish line. Which is all well and good, but that fortunately isn’t the same thing as saying that he actually won or anything. I mean, it’s pretty clear from the get-go that the bear is a lamentable paper airplane pilot. His creations fail with a kind of unceasing certainty that is somewhat reassuring in this crazy madcap universe we live in. If he were to suddenly win of his own accord or, worse, thanks to his new friends’ intervention, that would be despicable. As it stands, Jeffers takes the clever middle road and all is well and right with the world. Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap...

I need you to know that I am not a bad bear and that I’ve just made a silly mistake. I’ve even seen some wanted posters with my face on them. I really hope that you can help me. When the Senate confirmed Rehnquist’s nomination, Nixon called Rehnquist to congratulate him. He said, “Be as mean and rough as they said you were. Okay?” Rehnquist took a seat on the Court in January, 1972. In August, scholars using the Frankfurter papers at the Library of Congress began reporting to the staff that a great number of documents were missing. An exciting picture book, featuring brand new characters from highly-regarded, best-selling, multi-award-winning talent, Oliver Jeffers. About This Edition ISBN: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.

On November 8, 1973, an F.B.I. agent reported to the director that the bureau had no proof tying the prime suspect to the theft. On December 6, 1973, the Justice Department replied to Anderson, declining his offer of help. It referred to the investigation as ongoing, and expressed concern that Anderson had destroyed the envelopes in which the photocopies were returned. In March, 1974, without officially closing the case, the F.B.I. effectively ended the investigation. Mr. Smart: Sorry to interrupt Mr. Guest but that was the police on the phone. They want us to ask the children if they have seen a bear! There has been reports of one in the local area!F.D.R. nominated Frankfurter to the “scholar’s seat” on the Court in 1939. Rarely has an appointment been met with such high expectations. People thought he’d be the next Oliver Wendell Holmes. “He has more brains than the whole Brain Trust combined,” a friend of his said. Rarely has a Justice proved so disappointing. From the illustrator of the #1 smash hit The Day the Crayons Quit comes a whodunnit just right for the youngest of readers (not to mention instructions for how to build the perfect paper airplane!)
