Eliot the hollow men
I took a roundabout path to becoming a childrens author Out of college I did temporary work in offices and libraries while at night I wrote poetry and made strange life forms from cloth When I teamed up with a puppeteer Bob Kaminski my husband I was able to bring my cloth creations to life We began performing on the streets of San Francisco at Renaissance fairs and at schools After attending a workshop on Balinese shadow puppetry we traveled to Bali and Java to learn ancient techniques from modern masters and we adapted material from American folklore to the shadow screen I became so fascinated by the power of ancient myth and folktale to engage a modern audience that I enrolled in the Folklore and Mythology Program at UCLA I took a roundabout path to becoming a children s author Out of college I did temporary work in offices and libraries while at night I wrote poetry and made strange life forms from cloth When I teamed up with a puppeteer Bob Kaminski my husband I was able to bring my cloth creations to life We began performing on the streets of San Francisco at Renaissance fairs and at schools After attending a workshop on Balinese shadow puppetry we traveled to Bali and Java to learn ancient techniques from modern masters and we adapted material from American folklore to the shadow screen I became so fascinated by the power of ancient myth and folktale to engage a modern audience that I enrolled in the Folklore and Mythology Program at UCLA where I received my Ph. Eieio economics D While I was a student there I attended a talk by the author illustrator Uri Shulevitz and heard him say that a picture book is like a small theater A puppet theater is also a small theater I thought I can do that My first children s books were adaptations of folktales and soon I was able to incorporate my lifelong habit of writing poetry into my work. Eieio uuid Currently 2018 I live in Portland Oregon with my husband I divide my writing time between children s books and a long term project on folktales grandmothers and cultural evolution site_link The Little Red Hen gives old MacDonald some pointers on composting and a legendary farm is born in this rhyming rollicking read aloud. Eieio book Once upon a time Old MacDonald didn t have a farm He just had a yard a yard he didn t want to mow But under the direction of the wise and ecologically sensitive Little Red Hen Mac learns to look at the environment in a very different way and whole new worlds start to bloom with the help of some mud garbage horse poop and worms Judy Sierra s spirited verse paired with Matthew Myers s exuberant illustrations yields a fresh take on a children s classic complete with raised bed gardens and an organic farmers market making this a perfect story for armchair gardeners and devoted locavores of all sizes EIEIO How Old MacDonald Got His Farm with a Little Help from a Hen 2 art2 storyAn odd one Squirt was totally impressed by the horse poo though That s all he cared about Where s the poo Oh and he loves lawnmowers so he was sad when the book wasn t about mowing the lawn any Obviously I m not raising him right He also loves to pretend to saw trees down cringes Judy Sierra Interesting that the farmer works harder now than he did on his lawn but it s worth it feels better because he s productive growing produce instead of boring grass And the neighbors realistically first protested and then perhaps less realistically learned that a farm in the neighborhood is a good thing despite a little mud and a little stink Judy Sierra Old MacDonald decides to plant a garden instead of a lawn and much hilarity ensues. Eieieio up the premier league I LOVED this tale of suburban farming and so did my husband a suburban farmer Judy Sierra Hippies of the world rejoice Judy Sierra an Oregon native of course has written a book about getting rid of the lawn and putting in an urban farm And it s set to a familiar song And it has a sense of humor Old MacDonald did not actually buy a farm folks He actually started out in the burbs But mowing is so boring so he he got a goat to do that job for him Then he got on the internets and bought a chicken Now there s not any real explanation for why he got a chicken other than the plot began to thicken but really who doesn t want a chicken Or three Also most people start with chicks but apparently Old MacDonald didn t want to wait a couple of months for her to grow up And I see this chicken with her qualifications and resources as a bit of a Mary Poppins figure Of course haters gotta hate and all that so the neighbors aren t exactly happy about these changes at Old MacDonald s except that cute little girl in front who s very progressive for this hood But if they thought MUD was bad the compost and horse manure that Old MacDonald introduces next is really going to get their goat I ll let you discover those wonderful illustrations for yourself Then look super cute worms for the compost pile I ll also skip the bit where Old MacDonald and his growing band of supporters installs raised bed and plants a lovely variety of fruits vegetables etc Let s go straight to the pay off where all the neighbors are happy to buy organic produce from Old MacDonald s horse drawn food cart This book is so delightfully earthy crunchy west coast I can hardly stand it By the way this is my front yard about 9 months after buying a house that had a beautiful immaculate lawn Judy Sierra E I E I O_ how old MacDonald got his farm by Sierra_ Judy Listened to this story Story of how Mac got his farm Love how this is the perfect story for starting youngsters into gardening. Eieion name I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD Braille Audio Reading Device Judy Sierra
Another cute new kid s picture book for 2014 this one tells the tale of how Old MacDonald came to be a farmer in the first place The story rhymes and tells of how Old MacDonald was just a guy with a houseand a lawn that he was tired of mowing The tale includes the word poo which was a big hit with my 4 year old My son did comment on the illustrations though that he thought that Old MacDonald didn t look human Judy Sierra Judy Sierra has done it again She is a master of the marriage of quality content and good fun If I were a teacher on a deserted island and could only have one author s books with me it would be Judy Sierra In fact this book could save our deserted island lives because it has complete instructions on how to create a working farm in your own backyard.
Eieio cocomelon I can t wait to teach with EIEIO How Old MacDonald Got his Farm One of my obsessions is making sure kids know where food comes from Another is making sure they know about the cycle of life This book covers seed germination manure vermiculture animal husbandrywith a blend of colorful art adorable animals and a splash of mud spattered humor on every page When we are done reading and teaching this book we will never think of the song as just a song again We ll think of Old MacDonald cultivating fun in his back yard every time we sing it.
Eieio cocomelon I m seriously motivated to buy a vacant lot and start digging Judy Sierra I didn t know what to expect but this was really good Too bad I didn t know about it during the Summer Reading science theme This is a great way to teach a bit about fertilizing growing stuff Lots of humorous things throughout most in tiny details that are best in a lap read or read alone I think the school age crowd will get that humor the most But still worth a try for preschool ST One whole star is for the humor alone.
Eieio cocomelon 4 29 15 I knew that some of the concepts might be over their heads but I don t think it was too early to introduce concepts of growing things Used this in my Farm theme and led into my Old MacDonald Literacy Moment pretty well They seemed to like the pictures Lots to feast from there Judy Sierra Fed up with mowing his large backyard lawn Old MacDonald decides to make some changes and is able to do so with the help of a very smart hen As the neighbors look on with disdain he turns that green space into a productive garden complete with goat horse and yummy vegetables The rhyming text and acrylic and oil illustrations add considerably to the pleasures of reading this one My favorite illustration is the last one featuring a proud farmer and his red hen surveying the well tended plots of fruits flowers and vegetables that surround them if this is how Old MacDonald got his farm several of us might want to consider following his lead Judy Sierra This was an interesting tale about how old McDonald got his farm I loved like absolutely loved the artwork I just wish I could follow the rhythmic pattern because it was kind of difficult Judy Sierra
