Product reviews for Magic of Modern Metaphor

David Hodgson has written an excellent book of ninety seven stories for teachers and parents to use. The mix of stories enables them to be used across the curriculum. We all love stories as they are a vital part of our humanity passed on through the generations. The stories are a mixture of old and new and are written with compassion and humility. Many have an ethical base and offer opportunities for discussing the great challenges facing modern society. There are some nice touches of humour which children revel in. Above all the stories are relevant to life and living today.

Stories are a great way of learning through the imagination and will improve children`s vocabulary.

There is a very useful introduction as to how teachers and parents can use these stories and the book ends with some suggestions for extension activities.

This little book is recommended for all parents and teachers.
