Dear Greenpeace

Product Information

Find out about the sizes of different animals (including humans and whales) and use this to create some graphs and charts. Look at photos of whales and use these as the starting point for your own illustrations, pictures and paintings.

Choose an animal and make a list of similarities and differences between your chosen animal and a whale. A very cute short story about a little girl called Emily who finds a whale in her pond so writes to Greenpeace to ask them how she should care for it.We never find out if Emily really did see a whale in her pond. I would like to think she did find Arthur in her garden and fed him cornflakes and stroked his head. I think the children would also like to believe this too as we form an attachment to Arthur throughout the book. This could easily lead on to a study about whales themselves and the journeys they take through the ocean when they go on migration. The children could imagine where Arthur goes next and continue his story as he travels through the waves. If you could write a letter to anybody, who would you write to? Could you write and send your letter to them?

Simon’s first book, The Day Jake Vacuumed, was published in 1989 – and two more books about Jake soon followed (reissued by Walker in 2002). His first title for Walker Books, My Friend Whale, was the first of several concerned with a child’s relationship with the natural world – Dear Greenpeace, Sally and the Limpet, The Wild Woods and The Birdwatchers have established Simon as one of the country’s leading author/illustrators. Leon and Bob won the Smarties Book Prize Silver Award and was the New York Times' Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and Days Like This, a collection of small poems, was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Baby Brains was the overall winner of the Red House Children's Book Award in 2005, voted for by 25,000 children, and Simon followed up this success with two more Baby Brains titles, Baby Brains Superstar and Baby Brains and RoboMum. Simon continues to be a much sought-after speaker in schools, and at festivals and conferences both in the UK and in the USA. The second part of the writing will involve a number of persuasive devices such as repetition to echo the forest and rhetorical questions to make the audience think.https://images.google.ca/url?sa=t&url=https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/gusionsaber/post499368810// This is a magical little story about wildlife, ecology and even touches on loneliness, as many of the illustrations have Emily alone in her preoccupation, with family life hurrying on around her. Emily finds a whale in her pond, so she writes to Greenpeace for some advice on what to do about that. For some reason they don’t believe her, but give her some information about the species anyway. It s about Emily who writes to Greenpeace regarding a whale she saw in her pond. She asks for more information on whales. Sally’s teacher says that limpets live for twenty years. Will Sally ever get the limpet off her finger?

Worried that the whale living in her pond is unhappy, Emily embarks on a correspondence with Greenpeace which, despite offering the best of advice, insists that it would be impossible for a whale to live in a pond. Undeterred, young Emily continues to seek the best course of action for her beloved whale, finally setting him free. I must point out to you quite forcibly now that in no way could a whale live in your pond. You may not know that whales are migratory, which means they travel great distances each day. I am sorry to disappoint you. I had quite a bit of empathy towards Emily as she was sure she had not only seen the whale but had claimed to looking after and protecting the whale.

An elegant book… The illustrations are unsentimental and graceful and the story survives re-reading. The text font was a good idea, as it helps differentiate between the letters between Emily and Greenpeace. It was nicely applied. In 2022, the European Parliament voted to classify carbon-free nuclear energy as “sustainable” and to include it in an important list called the “Green Taxonomy'' for sustainable finance. This was a HUGE win for science and a MASSIVE bit of good news for me and my gener ation.

Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments The essence of the humour in this story stems from Greenpeace’s replies, each one a little more adamant that there is absolutely “NO” possibility of a large sea mammal residing in a garden pond. Emily is completely undeterred and continues seeking advice out of concern for her whale, and her replies are just as hilarious. The beautiful illustrations capture the enchantment of childhood and let the reader in on the fact that Emily and her whale are enjoying time together! Greenpeace responds with the information. Greenpeace tries to emphasise that the whale wouldn't be living in a pond over a course of many letters. I must admit, initially I was wondering how it will end. I like the ending very much. Emily reads the letters from Greenpeace to her whale who she named Arthur. Then one day he disappears. Greenpeace responds saying perhaps when she is older she would like to sail the oceans studying and protecting whales with Greenpeace. The last letter is Emily saying she saw Arthur at the sea side, she told him she loves him and Greenpeace loves him too!

Rang Tan' is an educational film made by Greenpeace to educate people about the destruction of the rainforests due to human intrusion, primarily from the Palm Oil manufacturers.How wonderful it would be to have a blue whale for a friend and go swimming together every night… “A wonderfully imaginative tale which delivers a very powerful message.” Practical Parenting A simple message. So beautifully conveyed. There is no scenario where the child is lying. Or by some magical twist there really was a whale. It is up to the reader to interpret it as he wishes. I love the story. I love the message behind it. I love the idea of protecting our animals being instilled in children. Leon has just moved in to town with his mum. His dad is away in the army. Leon needs a friend, but how can he find one?
