Unisa books science children

What is science fiction? Who invented it? What kinds of science fiction stories are there? Are aliens science fiction, or are they real? Then find out about some amazing science fiction inventions, such as robots and matter transmitters. Is time travel possible, or is that just science fiction? Then read The City: a science fiction story set in the future. It's a world of half-people, half robots, where the Control Zone is in charge of everything. Science Fiction is part of the Trailblazers series, published by Ransom Publishing. It is ideal for older children and young adults with a reading age of 5 - 8. The books are suitable for general reading or as part of a more structured reading programme. Each book is on a strong, popular topic, with a colourful, attractive layout, combining fact and fiction. Each book has a non fiction and a fiction section. The fiction story appears in two formats - one with simple texts for poor readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated "speech bubble" version of the same story, for those who are just starting to learn to read. These two levels of entry give access points for children and young adults with different reading ages. The vocabulary of each book is carefully limited, with simple sentences to reinforce reading skills, which make the books suitable for even the poorest readers. Format:Paperback

This novel, written by a veteran science fiction anthologist, is not my cup of tea - after C.S. Lewis little remains to be said in the topic of good angels and bad - anyway the book looks very new. - The novel is told from the point of view of the angel Darien, who begins doubting whether God was correct in booting Lucifer out of Heaven. In response, God sends Darien on an Earthbound “Angelwalk” so he can experience firsthand all the nastiness of the modern world.  *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me on the same day you only pay R 6 extra postage for each of the additional books - See what else I have to offer, it might just be worth your while.

Oxford University Press - 1984. - 586 pages - illustrated >>> Covers all aspects of children's literature. "More than 900 biographical entries deal with authors, illustrators, printers, publishers, educationists: among these, major figures are given extensive and penetrating consideration. Other entries cover traditional narrative materials; characters from books, cartoons, comic strips, radio, and television; genres such as school stories, science fiction, dime novels; printing and reproduction processes; and many aspects of children's play and learning. The plots of major works of fiction are summarized, with accounts of their publishing history and evaluations of their standing with today's readers. The historical span stretches from the early romances and legends enjoyed by children (though not composed for them) to the major publishing industry that children's books represent today. Equal attention is given to works from Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and to those of non-English-language origin that have been assimilated into our children's reading; there are also brief surveys of the development and current state of children's literature in all countries for which reliable information is available. Apart from being a sine qua non for parents, teachers, and librarians, The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature contains useful reference material for collectors of early printed works and students of folk literature; it is besides an entertaining and enlightening book for anyone concerned with children's educational and imaginative development." - (from the blurb).  *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage each on each additional - See what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.
