Curious Yarns
Three curious tales for children and mid-grade readers.
Going on a Lion Hunt
Going on a Lion Hunt is an effective learning tool for reading and performance expression designed with school aged youth in mind. Having been successfully staged several times in several school districts, kids of all ages are eager for it's pages and are responsive to complex biosocioeconomic concepts because there is story being told. Add music, art, dance, costumes, and travel maps, and the lesson is pleasant and memorable, because Author Tracy Clark was inspired from the Going on a Lion Hunt camp song. Giving young people a framework to ponder complex ideas, without scripting how or, what to think about, empowers kids who would not otherwise be able to express themselves, had they not been given this elementary tool, which in turn gives them a chance to incorporate additional thinking on their own, and delights audiences everywhere. Good for small groups shut in, and after school groups planning on activities outside of homework. As a refreshing change of conversation for babysitters with limited resources and nothing to do, passing Lion Hunt around gives star struck youth a chance to polish up their act. And encourages audiences to share time and space. As a Safety conscience tool, Lion Hunt requires unfocused, wandering youth to be at a particular place.
Twenty Questions
Award-winning creators Mac Barnett and Christian Robinson tap deep into childhood curiosity with a mind-tickling ode to the open-ended. Not all questions have answers. Some have more than one answer. And others have endless answers, unfolding out to the edges of the world. In this spare yet expansive narrative, acclaimed author Mac Barnett poses twenty questions both playful and profound. Some make us giggle. Others challenge our assumptions. The result is a quirky, wandering exploration of where the best questions lead—to stories. Intriguing, richly interactive, and brought to vivid life by Caldecott Honor recipient Christian Robinson’s bright and whimsical illustrations, Twenty Questions is a charming invitation to speculate without limits and know no bounds.
