“The All-White world of children’s books” (Larrick, 1965) is still mainly White and heavily skewed in one direction. Black children are either entirely absent from the books or misrepresented in the stories. Although there has been a notable increase in publishing African American books over the past several years, “characters of color are [often] limited to the townships of occasional historical books that concern themselves with the legacies of civil rights and slavery” (Myers, 2014). These characters “are never given a pass card to traverse the lands of adventure, curiosity, imagination or personal growth” (Myers, 2014). With a focus on African American Young Adult books, in this paper, we show how Natural Language Processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis can be used as alternate tools to identify emotional patterns in diverse YA novels. We follow the approach for emotion analysis suggested by Mohammad (2012) and use manually created lexicons that contain Plutchik’s eight basic emotions. Also, we measure how the use of the emotion words changes through the course of our selected books and demonstrate the flow of the basic eight emotions as well as the sentiment associated with the emotion words in the sample books.

Full textAbstract:
Adventure fiction set in Latin America remains a largely unexplored territory in children's literature studies. This article examines a group of 21st century young adult novels set in this region and considers the ways in which readers are positioned in relation to the Latin American image repertoire derived from colonial discourse about landscape, culture and inhabitants (Pre-Hispanic civilisations as well as contemporary indigenous and mestizo peoples). It also looks at the juxtaposition of advanced technology and traditional indigenous practices represented in the texts. It argues that despite the persistence of some stereotypes from boys’ popular adventure fiction, the protagonists’ rite of passage experiences in the ‘contact zone’ transform their understanding of the ‘Other,’ leading to a greater social and environmental awareness as well as a questioning of their own values and identity.

Full textAbstract:
The Catalan children's author Josep Vallverdú published two crossover stories based on Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island. Les raons de Divendres (Friday's Reasons) (2003) gives an account of the episode of Crusoe and Friday told from the point of view of the servant, whereas El testament de John Silver (John Silver's Will) (2007) deals with the adventures of the pirate after searching for the treasure in the Caribbean. This paper demonstrates how Vallverdú uses his experience as a writer and translator to transform two canonical novels, through transposition into a contemporary context, in a way that facilitates an interaction between Catalan literature and English literature. In keeping with this exploration of literary tradition, the two sequels are also analysed as twenty-first century expressions of a Western literary tradition that abounds in adventure stories set at sea.

ABSTRACT
Nowadays today’s era, children generally prefer to technological tools rather than reading a book, and parents rarely decide how their children use technology to support reading development. However, you can choose to use technological means to encourage the development of the reading habits. Therefore, the general objective is to create an online platform to encourage reading children's stories since reading is a fundamental skill to achieve academic success. A quantitative method of main component analysis was applied, using the platform weblogs, questionnaires, and data collection according to the proposed activities' interactions with navigation records of 515 children between the age of five and nine years. The results show that short stories can reinforce reading comprehension and students' interest in reading.

Full textAbstract:
Since the education explosion in mid-nineteenth century England, when astute publishers began to capitalise upon a newly created and burgeoning market, Australia has always featured prominently in fiction aimed at children and adolescents. Those British children who initially made up the bulk of the reading audience for books set in Australia were eager to read episodic stories set in exciting countries far from home, and an Australian setting offered a glamorous backdrop for tales of high adventure. Moreover, it appears that while the nineteenth-century British reading public perceived Australia as an exotic place, then Queensland was quintessentially so. A disproportionate number of early tales about life in Australia is set in this colony, most often in the outback regions, but also in the vicinity of the coastal tropics. Nineteenth-century Queensland was viewed by the British, as well as by many Australians, as a remote outpost of Great Britain; it was commonly thought of as the least urbanised, the least “civilised”, the least industrialised and perhaps the most remote of all the regions of Australia. It was widely seen as an area of great and diverse (if also mysterious and desolate) natural beauty, of rural innocence as yet unpolluted by dark, satanic mills (even Brisbane was a sleepy, sprawling country town in picturesque contrast to the bustling southern cities of Sydney and Melbourne). Children's novelists capitalised on the mystique of Queensland, archetypal frontier colony, by creating a cluster of tales showing what it was like to be a Queensland kid.

La capacitación del hombre para la solución de problemas es un tema muy discutido en el mundo, pues se considera una actividad de gran importancia en la enseñanza. Esta caracteriza una de las conductas más inteligentes del hombre, ya que la vida misma obliga a resolver problemas continuamente. La práctica diaria nos muestra que no todos los niños saben resolver problemas sencillos, si bien se trabajan contenidos referente a esta temática se carece de alternativas y recursos didácticos de cómo llevarlos a pensar, razonar y qué vías utilizar para llegar al resultado. Ocuparse de cómo razonan los niños pudiera ser una de las posibilidades de comprender y organizar de forma racional y efectiva el proceso de enseñanza de la matemática y en particular la solución de problemas. Desde un enfoque de investigación cualitativa, el presente estudio plantea el aporte de la Literatura Infantil en la solución de problemas matemáticos sencillos en las primeras edades, basado en una revisión teórica que responde a las potencialidades de los cuentos infantiles como recursos didácticos en la adquisición de destrezas y habilidades.

CHILDREN'S LITERATURE AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOLUTION OF SIMPLE MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST AGES
ABSTRACT
The training of man to solve problems is a subject that is much discussed in the world, because it is considered an activity of great importance in education. This characterizes one of the most intelligent behaviors of man, since life itself forces us to solve problems continuously. Daily practice shows that not all of our children know how to solve simple problems, although content related to this topic is worked on, there are no alternatives and teaching resources on how to take them to think, reason and what routes to use to reach the result. Dealing with how children reason could be one of the possibilities to understand and organize in a rational and effective way the teaching process of mathematics and in particular the solution of problems. From a qualitative research approach, the present study raises the contribution of Children's Literature in the solution of simple mathematical problems in the first ages, based on a theoretical review that responds to the potential of children's stories as teaching resources in the acquisition of skills and abilities.

Full textAbstract:
Changes in the implementation of learning by combining online and offline models during the new adaptation period require a new strategy for kindergarten institutions. The impact of change requires teachers to carry out effective and fun learning strategies in stimulating all aspects of early childhood development. This study was conducted to analyse the strategies that have been carried out by kindergarten teachers to stimulate the cognitive development of early childhood in the new adaptation period. This type of research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Sources of data in the form of documents (learning, photos, and videos) and credible sources. Qualitative data was collected through observation, documentation and in-depth interviews. The analysis was carried out inductively, continuously until the final findings of meaningful research were found. The results showed that the teacher's strategy stimulated early childhood cognitive development by; 1) presenting interesting themes and activities that are packaged in the form of stories (one of which is child adventure), 2) using a scientific approach and playing, involving family members, prioritizing learning resources for school and local wisdom based on projects at home, 3) using procedures and effective methods, 4) the application of norms for the success of children's achievements through process and outcome. The conclusion shows that the teacher's strategy in stimulating cognitive development is by preparing a clear plan of learning objectives and activity programs, implementing adaptive, effective and collaborative learning, normative evaluation and counselling guidance services.

The article analyzed the works of scientists (Avtomonova P. P., Boyko Y. V., and Zaichenko I. V., Zenkin A. S., Karandasheva V. N., Kirdyaeva V. M., Kuzmenko N. M., Lasch A P., Lvov I. P., Pylhaeva F. P,. Pogrebna Ya. A., Czerniawska A. P.), who developed methods of optimal study book, textbook and other paper media. Types of independent work with the coursebook, additional materials are necessary to have when studying or reading books and other manuals. Selected types of readers (based on lectures “Students' independent work with the book” by I. P. Lvov), the preferences of readers on the nature of the literature and recommendations for its choice. It is substantiated that, according to I. P. Lvov, the book plays an important role in the development of thinking and speech culture of students. The Ukrainian teacher singled out four groups of students. Representatives of the first group are only interested in the reading process. To the second group of readers I. P. Lvov included people who like to read adventure literature and detective stories. The third group consisted of readers who are interested in serious, scientific literature, new books of modern bookstores. To the fourth type of readers, the scientist referred those who seek knowledge and therefore makes serious demands on the book. It is proved that the Ukrainian teacher emphasized that the effectiveness of reading books is possible if the reader has a system of knowledge in a particular field, has the skills of good orientation in the text with the selection of basic principles and ideas. The result of mental work should be clearly designed in the form of writing or speaking, and the effectiveness of the process of working with the book depends not only on speed but also on the method of reading.

Full textAbstract:
Écrivain dramatique, romancier, nouvelliste et conteur, Carlo Collodi (1826-1890), à sa mort, est avant tout reconnu comme un journaliste de talent, auteur apprécié de livres pour enfants. Paradoxalement, l’œuvre de Collodi, sous la plume de ses biographes les plus célèbres, devient ensuite celle d’un seul livre : Le avventure di Pinocchio. Storia di un burattino (1883), un chef-d’œuvre isolé « écrit par hasard » (selon l’expression de P.Pancrazi). La recherche récente de type philologique – en particulier les travaux de Daniela Marcheschi – réinsère Pinocchio dans un ensemble littéraire faisant fonction d’atelier de création, dans lequel se sont élaborés les outils stylistiques et thématiques ancillaires de l’œuvre majeure. Une étude intertextuelle, ainsi qu’une approche de type anthropologique, de l’ensemble du corpus collodien, montrent que Pinocchio est l’aboutissement d’une recherche existentielle : le projet collodien, paré de la magie des contes de fées, explore les limites du vivant et de l’inanimé, il pose la question de l’intégrité des êtres. L’analyse textuelle révèle que l’auteur a tenté, avec Pinocchio, une opération de « reproduction », de régénération, un engendrement sans la mère: la création du pantin n’est pas celle d’un être nouveau mais initialement celle d’un double du vieillard, rajeuni. Voilà pourquoi « l’enfant parallèle », auquel Collodi donne corps, n’est pas le fruit d’un désir de paternité classique, mais l’objet d’une entreprise chimérique visant à refuser le destin mortel de l’hommeCarlo Collodi (1826-1890) playwright, novelist, short story writer and storyteller was, at his death, known primarily as a talented journalist and author of popular books for children. Paradoxically, Collodi’s work, according to his most famous biographers, had been reduced to a single book: Le avventure di Pinocchio. Storia di un burattino (1883), an isolated masterpiece "written by chance" (in the words of P. Pancrazi). Recent philological research - in particular the work of Daniela Marcheschi - reinserts Pinocchio into a literary corpus that functioned as a creative writing workshop, in which the stylistic and thematic tools subordinate to the main work were developed. An intertextual study and an anthropological approach to the complete works of Collodi show that Pinocchio is the culmination of an existential search: Collodi’s design, adorned with the magic of fairy tales, is to explore the limits of the animate and the inanimate and raise the question of the integrity of the human being. Textual analysis shows that what the author attempted with Pinocchio is a project of reproduction or regeneration, a sort of engendering without the mother: the puppet he created is not initially a new being, but rather a duplicate of the old man rejuvenated. That is why "the parallel child " to which Collodi gives life stems not from the desire for traditional paternity, but from the impossible dream of refusing the mortal destiny of man

Full textAbstract:
The Malý čtenář (The Little Reader) magazine was published between the years of 1882 and 1941. At that time, this was one of the most significant Czech magazines for children and young people. The magazine altered during its existence. Poetry, fiction, nonfiction articles, games, jokes and puzzles remained its constant theme. The magazine was founded by teachers from Poděbrady. Its original role was to present school teaching through more fun and entertainment. Nonfiction articles played a significant role in the early years of the magazine. A big change for the existence of the magazine meant a transition to J. R. Vilímek publishing in 1888. In the 90s of the 19th century, the magazine became a more serious publication, primarily due to its incorporation of high quality poetry. Among the authors of the poems appears Josef Vaclav Sládek, who is regarded as the founder of Czech poetry for children. In these years, the magazine also aimed to appeal to a new target group of readers: adolescent school boys. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the ratio between poetry and prose in Malý čtenář gradually balanced. A key figure in the magazine, František Serafínský Procházka, took the main role in poetry. Prose came with longer serial stories with elements of realism; more fairy tales also appeared....

Full textAbstract:
This chapter talks about Moros and Americans negotiating an increasingly globalized world beyond colony and metropole. It mentions a vernacular dime novel about the St. Louis World's Fair published in 1904 titled Uncle Bob and Aunt Becky's Strange Adventures at the World's Great Exposition. It also describes how overseas colonies appeared to a skeptical metropolitan public and how cultural producers appropriately portrayed the America's foreign subjects. The chapter mentions the U.S. newspapers that followed the Moros closely as they met with presidents, performed for midwestern crowds, took in the Manhattan skyline, and embraced collegiate life. It cites the Moros' appearance in assorted fictions, such as comic operas, children's adventure stories, radio serials, and motion pictures that manufactured Muslim colonial subjects and presented them in varied ways to a curious public.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines major developments in British comics during the period 1950–1961. It first considers comics as one of the cornerstones of children's entertainment in the 1950s before discussing the means by which American comics came to Britain as well as the objections to American comics in the country. It then describes the rise of girl's comics in the early 1950s, the appearance of parodies of the superhero, and the (continued) rise of the small superhero publishers. It also explores British publications that were viewed as doppelgangers of Captain Marvel, including Electroman, the production of Marvelman stories by the Gower Studio, and the resurrection of DC Thomson superheroes and the creation of new ones. Finally, it looks at the publications of Fleetway and the Independent Publishing Corporation (IPC) and suggests that the late 1950s and early 1960s were very interesting times for British adventure comics.
