Reviews"The ultimate synthesis of Rodari's exuberant knowledge, a book of both pedagogy and poetics, poetry for teachers and pedagogy for poets."-- Italo Calvino, "This is a spectacularly gorgeous book (as is everything from Enchanted Lion)."-- Golden Hour Books (Indianapolis, IN), "Holds great value for the adults who teach kids and the adults who write for them... The book is funny, freewheeling and angry, animated by Rodari's fury at an educational system in which 'imagination is still treated like a poor relation of attention and memory...' He offers classroom games that puncture the barriers between academic disciplines... The Grammar of Fantasy is less a manual on how to write for kids than a treatise on why we must respect them as readers, written by an author whose life's work was underpinned by an appreciation of the child's 'underlying seriousness, and the moral engagement that she brings to everything she does.'"-- Mac Barnett, U.S. National Ambassador for Young People's Literature , The New York Times, The ultimate synthesis of Rodari's exuberant knowledge, a book of both pedagogy and poetics, poetry for teachers and pedagogy for poets., I'm having a hard time containing my excitement... It's great for teachers and the classroom, but also for any artist or person who is looking to be more creative. Honestly, it would even be great in the self-help category, on how to unleash your own voice., Holds great value for anyone who believes children's stories are important, which should be everyone... Funny, freewheeling, and animated., RODARI'S LEGACY AS CHAMPION OF CHILDREN'S IMAGINATION: Building on the splash our English translation of Telephone Tales made in the US in 2020. BREAKING DOWN STORYTELLING FOR TEACHERS & WRITERS NEW ILLUSTRATIONS FROM MATT FORSYTHE, Rodari yearned for a way to unite his passions for philosophy, teaching, and justice. And so he started writing stories, songs, and poems for children, insisting over and over, in subtle and sensitive ways, on the human capacity for independent and imaginative thinking... A dazzling, deeply original book... only now available in English with enchanting illustrations by Matthew Forsythe., "I'm having a hard time containing my excitement...
