Description

Robo-parents Diode and Lugnut present daughter Cathode with a new little brother—who requires, unfortunately, some assembly. Browne's books are translated into 26 languages and his illustrations have been exhibited in many countries including; The United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, France, Korea, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and Taiwan. He currently lives in Canterbury, England. In “Into The Woods” there is an unseen opponent. The boy’s own anxieties about his father at war are preventing his happiness. Plan Me and You (Doubleday, 2011) —a retelling of The Story of the Three Bears in a contemporary setting The Visitors Who Came to Stay by Annalena McAfee (Hamilton, 1984) – winner of the 1985 German youth literature prize for picture books in its German-language translation retaining Browne's illustrations

A boy discovers that his father is gone and when he asks his mother she didn’t seem to know. The image of his mother and the boy appear very sad, so sad that it made me wonder what happened to the dad. The longing for dad to come home is significantly highlighted by the number of ‘come home dad’ signs which have been left all over the house by the boy. In this highly metaphorical story, the boy learns that although being lonely and worried about your father is scary, it is possible to make it through a forest of anxiety and come out all right at the other end. New SituationI think the illustrations in this book would stand out to children the most. They could look for the hidden pictures depicting scenes from fairytales within the larger pictures. I also think the colours uses in the pictures add to the mystery of the book and will have children wondering what else could be lurking within the forest and whether or not the boy will make it safely to Grandma’s house.

Anthony Edward Tudor Browne CBE (born 11 September 1946 [1]) is a British writer and illustrator of children's books, primarily picture books. Browne has written or illustrated over fifty books, and received the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2000. [2] [3] [4] From 2009 to 2011 he was Children's Laureate. [5] [6] Children create a story map: Work with them to model this on the board. Success Criteria: Have I accurately retold the story? Have I used simple notes and sentences? Have I used visual prompts to aid my writing? Although the text in Into the Forest is minimal and somewhat simple, the book is intended for readers in grades 2-5. This story is based on the traditional Little Red Riding Hood story. It begins with a young boy who wakes up during a terrible thunderstorm. When he gets up he and his mother sit silently at the breakfast table wondering where his dad could be because he never came home. Then his mother asked the boy to go visit his grandma because she wasn't feeling well. Much like the traditional story his mother sent him with a basket and told him to go to his grandma's but advised him not to go into the forest. The boy didn't listen and walked through the forest and ran into very strange people. The deeper he walked into the forest the colder it was, and he wished he had brought a coat. All of a sudden, a red-hooded coat appeared hanging in a tree. He finally came upon his Grandma's house and realized that it didn't sound like his grandma, but it was! Then he heard another sound behind him and it was his dad. After their visit the boy and his dad went home to see his mom. In 2001–2002 Browne took a job as writer and illustrator at Tate Britain, working with children using art as a stimulus to inspire visual literacy and creative writing activities. It was during this time that Browne conceived and produced The Shape Game (Doubleday, 2003).

You could explore it in the context of traditional tales – investigating all the references and perhaps considering alternative “happy” endings just as Anthony Browne has done here.
