The Legend of Podkin One-Ear: WINNER - BLUE PETER BOOK AWARD (The World of Podkin One-Ear)

Product Information

Podkin’s world has been taken over by a race of evil iron-covered rabbits called the Gorm. When they come to his warren one Bramblemas Eve, he finds himself running for his life and fighting to survive. This is more Redwall than Watership Down - humans don't exist in this rabbit world. The title and cover, however, led me to think it might be leaning to the Beatrix Potter but with a little more adventure. So I was ambivalent. But when I noticed the book continuing to sit on the shelf of the bookshop, unbought, unrecommended, I decided I'd give it a chance. I would love to see your character designs! Tweet them to me at @kmlarwood and I will put them on my blog. Synova triedna učiteľka začala čítať túto knihu v triede a som za toveľmi vďačná, lebo je to presne ten typ knihy, ktorý baví aj 9-ročného, aj 7-ročnú a aj mňa. Hoci ide o pomerne drsný príbeh, kde je aj násilie aj smútok, zasadením príbehu do králičieho sveta, v ktorom majú králiky ľudské atribúty, dávajú príbehu potrebnú fantazijnosť, aby sa deti vedeli trošičku odosobniť a príliš nebáť, najmä preto, že od začiatku vieme, že to dobre dopadne.

His days mainly consist of singing nursery rhymes, tying shoelaces, trying to locate who has had an ‘accident’ by sense of smell alone, and vast, endless mountains of paperwork. Uki, a young rabbit cast out from his tribe, must take on an impossible quest to capture a series of evil spirits before they unleash havoc across the Five Realms. Illustration by David Wyatt Uki & The Swamp Spirit There's a map in the front of the book but only a very small portion is actually adventured in. Which is not so bad but the idea of having a map is to add atmosphere and to help the reader physically follow the protagonist through their journey. But having only a small portion of the map explored makes it difficult to perceive the protags anguish and difficulties. It also means that such a small section isn't named specifically. So all I really know it that walked around this forest patch for ages. Surprisingly, the thing I like most about this book is actually the way it’s told. It’s told by a travelling bard like in the good old days, someone who goes from village to village to tell his stories. It’s such a small, insignificant and seemingly unimportant detail but it definitely elevates the experience as a whole for me. It gives this story such coziness and warmth, like you’re not reading a book but rather being told a bedtime story by a cozy campfire under a star filled sky. And I love it when a story has the ability to make you forget that you’re reading a book.Het verhaal gaat over Podkin, de zoon van een stamhoofd, die met zijn oudere zus en jonge broertje vlucht uit zijn burcht als de slechte Goroms binnenvallen De Goroms doden zijn vader en nemen alle anderen gevangen. En dat doen ze bij alle burchten die ze binnenvallen. Er komen geen mensen voor in dit verhaal, alleen konijnen die zich wel erg menselijk gedragen. Podkin, die aan het begin van het verhaal nog twee oren heeft, verandert van een lui jong konijn dat nog te beroerd is om te willen leren lezen en schrijven, in een dappere strijder die het opneemt voor zijn familie. A new saga begins. Kind of a cross between The Hobbit and Watership Down this book is aimed at children aged around Nine or Ten.......But in my late Fourties I found it to be an engaging read and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We have differentiated this resource a number of ways so you can choose which best suits your class.Borba ili povijest, nije bilo bitno, Podkin je jednostavno volio – drijemati. Kakve koristi od svega toga kada obitavaš u sigurnosti svoga zečinjaka, pod okriljem svog moćnog oca i poglavice? Usred svog drijemanja Podkin nikako nije mogao znati da je i njegov zečinjak na meti Gvozdenih koji su na putu uništenja jedne davno i teškom mukom uspostavljene ravnoteže sile i moći. The story is about Podkin, the son of a tribal chief, who, with his older sister and young brother, flees from his castle as the bad Goroms invade. The Goroms kill his father and imprison his people, like they do with every rabbit borrow they invade. There are no people in this story, only rabbits who behave very humanly. Podkin, who has two ears at the beginning of the story, changes from a lazy young rabbit who cannot even be disturbed to want to learn to read and write into a brave warrior who takes a stand for his family. Uki must dodge the Endwatch, the Shrikes, Clan Septys and the guards and find a way to complete his quest before all is lost. When the bard is suggesting some stories to the children, he mentions the tales of Beobunny and The Fisher Rabbit. What do you think they might have been about? Could you write your own version?

Ovo, ipak, nije jedna od tih priča. Ovo je priča o malenom zečiću koji tek treba postati legendom. Riječima barda iz čijih je usta priča izašla, ova je priča različita. Zato što je istinita. Dit verhaal houdt ergens het midden tussen Watershipdown en Lord of The Rings, en dan voor kinderen van een jaar of 10. Een avontuurlijk, fantasierijk verhaal vol humor, warmte en verlies. Dit boek heb ik blind uit de bibliotheek meegenomen voor mijn dochter. Een gokje. Maar ze vond het geweldig. Zo geweldig dat ik het van haar absoluut moest lezen. En dat heb ik dus gedaan. In this story, Podkin One-Ear lost his ear when trying to escape from the Gorm at Redwater Warren. However, the little rabbits who are listening to the storyteller have many other theories on how he lost his ear. We have explored a few of these examples.

If there are no Fox Paws, then you can add the total to your overall score Bila je večer uoči Kupinova kada se jedan bard zaustavio potražiti sklonište u zečinjaku Trnjak, zauzvrat za priču. A priča koju je započeo pričati započela je također na večer uoči Kupinova, kada je blagdansku idilu jednog drugog zečinjaka prekinuo napad zlih Gvozdenih, uslijed kojeg je troje malih zečića moralo pobjeći kako bi sačuvalo živu glavu. Jedan od tih zečića bio je upravo legendarni Podkin. Most of my favourite children’s books feature animals with human traits ‘Watership Down’ ‘Mrs Frisby and the rats of NIMH’. All the secondary characters were really bland, given maybe a few chapters of exposition explaining more about their soon to be dues ex machina skill sets than there actual personalities (which were non existent anyways so bleh.)
