Produktbeschreibung
(Bilingual English-German edition / Zweisprachige Ausgabe Englisch-Deutsch) This is a delightful and humorous tale about a chicken who learns to speak as we do - with unexpected consequences. The surprising events that follow intrigue young children and, and at the same time, alert them in a very amusing way to the dangers of being too quick to believe everything they hear. Illustrator Jeff Jackson creates a lively and lighthearted world, rich in color and expression, in which anything can happen. This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East. For more than a thousand years, it has entertained young people and helped foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. Dies ist eine entzückende und humorvolle Geschichte über ein Huhn, das wie wir sprechen lernt - mit unerwarteten Konsequenzen. Die überraschenden Ereignisse, die darauf folgen, faszinieren junge Kinder und machen sie gleichzeitig auf sehr amüsante Weise auf die Gefahr aufmerksam, zu schnell alles zu glauben, was sie hören. Illustrator Jeff Jackson schafft eine lebendige und unbeschwerte Welt voller Farben und Ausdruck, in der alles passieren kann. Diese Geschichte ist eine von vielen Hunderten von Sufi-Entwicklungsgeschichten, die Idries Shah aus mündlichen und schriftlichen Quellen in Zentralasien und im Nahen Osten zusammengetragen hat. Seit mehr als tausend Jahren unterhält sie junge Menschen und hilft ihnen, die Fähigkeit zu entwickeln, ihre Annahmen zu überprüfen und selbstständig zu denken.
Autorenporträt
Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding.
