KitapKurduAnne - Ferdinand - Çocuklar için Kitap Önerileri

Hayatta en nefret ettiğim şeylerden biri "boğa güreşi" mevhumudur. Son derece vahşi ve canice olan bu etkinliği asla anlamam mümkün değil... Neyse ki yalnız değilmişim, Ferdinand da benimle aynı fikirde. O kim mi? O bir boğa, üstelik kardeşlerinden, akranlarından farklı bir boğa... Birileriyle dövüşmek yerine mantar ağacının altında oturup çok sevdiği çiçekleri koklamayı seviyor. Romantik, entellektüel, alışılmamış ve ezber bozan bir boğa ve onun kısacık öyküsüyle çook şey anlatan kitabı..

1930larda basılıp binlerce adet satılmış, Munro Leaf´in 60 dile çevrilmiş kitabı bizde Engin Yayıncılıktan basılmış. Kitabın ayrıca bir de animasyon kısa filmi yapılmış. Siyah beyaz ve az yazılı, 6 yaş üzeri için özellikle de "bu dünyada didişmekten, savaşmaktan, yaralamaktan " çok daha güzel şeylerin olduğunu anlatması açısından önemli buluyorum.

Kitap çok az yazılı ve siyah beyaz resimli. Hikaye 1936 yılında sinemaya uyarlanarak Oscar ödülü almış.

Munro Leaf kimdir? ( Kaynak : wikipedia)

Wilbur Monroe Leaf (aka Munro Leaf) (December 4, 1905 – December 21, 1976), was an American author of children´s literature who wrote and illustrated nearly 40 books during his 40-year career. He is best known for The Story of Ferdinand (1936), a children´s classic which he wrote on a yellow legal-length pad in less than an hour. Labeled as subversive, it stirred an international controversy.

Munroe Wilbur Leaf was born on 4 December 1905, the son of Charles W Leaf (1871-1965) and Emma India Leaf in Hamilton, Maryland. Leaf had an older sister, Elizabeth W Leaf. By 1910 his family lived in Washington, D.C. where his father had established his career as a machinist at the Government Printing Office.

Leaf graduated from the University of Maryland in 1927 where he had played lacrosse and been class treasurer, and from Harvard University with a master´s degree in English literature in 1931. He honeymooned with his wife Margaret Pope in Europe in 1928.[4] He taught secondary school and then worked as an editor with the publisher Frederick A. Stokes Company. Leaf once commented, "Early on in my writing career I realized that if one found some truths worth telling they should be told to the young in terms that were understandable to them."

He wrote The Story of Ferdinand for his friend, illustrator Robert Lawson. The story, which follows a gentle bull in rural Spain who prefers smelling flowers to bullfighting, sparked considerable controversy because Ferdinand was regarded by some as a pacifist symbol. Banned in Spain and burned as propaganda in Nazi Germany, the book had over 60 foreign translations and has never gone out of print. The story was adapted into a Walt Disney film which won a 1938 Academy Award. Leaf and Lawson´s second collaboration, Wee Gillis, about a boy living in Scotland halfway between his father´s family in the Highlands and his mother´s in the Lowlands, was cited as a 1939 Caldecott Honor Book.
