Deconstructing Penguins: Parents, Kids, and the Bond of Reading

â‚¬Å“Books are like puzzles,â‚¬Â write Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone. â‚¬Å“The authorâ‚¬s ideas are hidden, and it is up to all of us to figure them out.â‚¬Â In this indispensable reading companion, the Goldstonesâ‚¬â€œnoted parent-child book club expertsâ‚¬â€œencourage grownups and young readers alike to adopt an approach that will unlock the magic and power of reading.

With the Goldstones help, parents can inspire kidsâ‚¬ lifelong love of reading by teaching them how to unlock a bookâ‚¬s hidden meaning. Featuring fun and incisive discussions of numerous childrenâ‚¬s classics, this dynamic guide highlights key elementsâ‚¬â€œtheme, setting, character, point of view, climax, and conflictâ‚¬â€œand paves the way for meaningful conversations between parents and children.

â‚¬Å“Best of all,â‚¬Â the Goldstones note, â‚¬Å“you donâ‚¬t need an advanced degree in English literature or forty hours a week of free time to effectively discuss a book with your child. This isnâ‚¬t Crime and Punishment, itâ‚¬s Charlotteâ‚¬s Web.â‚¬Â
