READINGS - FOURTH

P.S. 30, EAST HARLEM, NYC

On Thursday, June 13, 2013 Linda did a reading before students, parents and faculty of PS 30 in East Harlem, NYC.  PS 30 was having a special event sharing poems while wearing glasses and Linda was invited to participate by reading Have You Seen My Glasses?

The children were of various ages ranging from perhaps 3 years to 10 years.  Because of the tight schedule as per the Librarian, Ms. Shufeld the reading was amended, but the response of the audience was the same as all the author's previous readings.  The children and parents loved the story about Lucy Duck, her friends and her adorable baby duckling girl, Rainbow.

Linda engaged the children with questions throughout her story-telling.  Most of the children were fascinated with the repeated question Have You Seen My Glasses?; and equally as fascinated with their discovery.  The parents were intrigued with the modern day gadgets used by the characters in this delightful children fable, which was a reason Linda chose that vehicle to teach her young audience the values of sharing, caring and sacrifices of friendship as demonstrated by the farm animals in Have You Seen My Glasses?

As my previous post indicated, Linda did two readings at ABC, Association to Benefit Children in Harlem, New York.

Below are two great reviews received from the two classes before whom the author read her fantastic fable.

Have You Seen My Glasses

By Linda Maricheau

Thank You for visiting our classroom. The Railroad Room #8 was very excited about your visit. The children really enjoyed the reading, and had lots to talk about after. The story kept their interest and was engaging. “Have you Seen My Glasses” was child friendly and appropriate for our age group. The bright colors and drawings of the animals kept their focus. There were many learning concepts throughout the story (color recognition, animal identification as well physical disabilities, and differences). “Have you Seen My Glasses” has found a permanent spot in our Library!

Thank You,

Railroad Room

====================================

The Moose room thoroughly enjoyed out very special reading of "Have you Seen my Glasses." The interesting plot kept everyone engaged and entertained. The book also allowed for great class discussion and plenty of opportunity to hone prediction skills. The pictures were bright and colorful and a perfect compliment to wonderful text. The children couldn't get enough of the book and even flipped through on their own to further explore after the initial reading. We are so glad the school has a copy, "Have you seen my Glasses" will definitely see a lot of use.
