However, thorough coverage of all relevant National Curriculum objectives has been planned for so that no opportunity is wasted. It was not until she went to school, and was forced to remove the necklace by a teacher, that her troubles began. Una niña, de padre muy ocupados, verá en sus libros de cumpleaños ‘una gran compañía’ a las prolongadas ausencias de sus progenitores. Como suele ser habitual en ella, todos son bastante imaginativos y usan un lenguaje muy sencillo y directo.

However children can be encouraged to think more deeply through discussion of the motives and feelings of the characters and the morality of their actions. From floating pies to animals being brought to life from books, this is an excellent collection of magical stories which hold something for every child. Una anciana panadera vive con su revoltoso gato, semi atrigrado claro ( pues parte de su cuerpo está completamente blanco, debido a el jugueteo que se lleva con el agua y la harina de los bollos y otros pastelitos y panes). Needless to say, all ends well and, in addition to being reunited with her treasure, Laura makes a new friend and also manages to deliver an Arabiancountry from drought. Joan Aiken is at her best with this collection of gentle fairytales and fantasy stories, beautifully illustrated by Kevin Hawkes.Another series of children's books about Arabel and her raven Mortimer are illustrated by Quentin Blake, and have been shown on the BBC as Jackanory and drama series. Her work weaves together story and craft, featuring hand-made crankie theatres, puppets and miniature story worlds. Stand outs for me have always been the eponymous Necklace of Raindrops, The Baker's Cat and my favorite The Patchwork Quilt.
