Teaches appreciation for history, re-using and recycling
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This beatiful book subtly helps children see the importance of historical buildings (in this case, barns) and the need to preserve our past. A father and son preserve boards from barns which are too beaten down to restore. During a break in their barn-saving work, the father tells his son, "We'll recyle the whole barn...this barn will live for another hundred years, in a hundreddifferent places." Americans just now seem to bewaking up to what Europeans have known for centuries -- we must preserve our past in order tohave a sense of who we are. This book teacheschildren that lesson. (You might also want to share the video, "Madeline and the New House", with your kids. In it, Madeline convinces the owner of her home to restore it rather than tear it down.)
