This is one of Polacco’s fantasy books. I love Aunt Charolette and how she protested to the towns obsession with TV by refusing to leave her bed for 50 years! She finally emerged to see all the ways books were being used, she explains what a book is and how it’s used for reading. “Now look at this. Those are words. They tell about ideas, dreams, and feelings. They take you to places far from here. They show you how to be fair and just, and sometimes show you what happens when you’re not. Books are a treasure. All you need is the key.” I loved this explanation Aunt Chip gave of words to Eli. Eli wanted to learn how to read and eventually did. Aunt Chip was originally the towns librarian, before the town became obsessed with television. This book would be important in the classroom to show children the importance of books, without books you can’t read. Aunt Chip was a librarian until the town got their beloved tv's, thought that they didn't need books, and tore down the library. She warned them that there would be consequences, and there were. People forgot how to read! With the help of a young boy, she taught the town's children to read, and they showed their parents the importance of reading. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Also two children teach their parents.
They warn of the closings of libraries.
So on the one hand-
fortune telling is forbidden by the Bible. I suppose you could look at it as a symbol of how they have strayed.
This book is almost 30 years old and how much farther have we fallen?
A charming illustration and signature from the author is here also. ( )
