"The Bachelor and the Bean" by Shelley Fowles is a appropriate book for teaching children a lesson about how you are drawn to the people that you are like.The story introduces a old bachelor who is mean and angry. He goes and buys a handful of beans and loses one of them in a dirty old well. Inside that very well lives a imp that gives the old bachelor a pot that grants any food item the owner wants. The plot only gets thicker and thicker from that point on, but I don't want to ruin the story for you. The language of the story matches the story line of book with certain words that would only be said in this certain time period. For example, the bachelor in the story calls a women a "old biddy". Do you know what that means? Ether did I till I looked it up. It means a old foolish women. The theme of the book is just what I told you before. The people you're attracted or befriend are just like you, so always remember that. After buying some beans to snack on from the market, the bachelor dropped one into a well. An imp came out of it and gave the bachelor a magical pot. The pot gave the bachelor anything he wanted to eat. He used his pot to spread the joy by letting his neighbors order anything they wanted to eat. One jealous lady was not satisfied. She devised a plan to switch the magic pot for one of her own. The bachelor noticed that the pot was not working, so he forced the imp for a new one. He gave the bachelor a new pot that gave out vessels and plates made of gold, silver, and crystal. This new magic pot was even better than the first. He then again told all of his neighbors, and the lady again stole his pot. He went to the old lady asking for his pots back. She shouted at him and he shouted at her. He fell in love with her strong voice, and asked her to marry him. Now, they live happily ever after quarreling at each other all day. This book was not what I was expecting. I was unfamiliar with the folktale based in this book, but now after reading it, I know the lesson explained. The illustrations on each page change color with the emotion the bachelor feels throughout the story. The art is not perfect, instead it is more of coloring in pictures without actually perfecting them. This story is a great story that readers can learn how to not steal and be nice and thankful for what you have in life. This story is a love story, life story, and magic story all in one! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
