Not Now, Bernard: Board Book: 1

Product Information

It is a thin volume about denial and negligence, making its point with few words and colourful illustrations.

During the story Bernard comes across a monster in his garden and goes in to tell his mother who responds with 'not now, Bernard', as the story carries on Bernard gets eaten up by the monster. Then there is that other monster, the one that has become such a fixture in the garden that even the opposition seems not to notice it any more. on the one hand, it is a story with a strong reminder/message to parents to listen and engage with their children. This book explores a young boys struggle to gain attention from his parents as he is repeatedly told 'not now, Bernard'.The then chancellor convinced his disciple that Britain would not be foolish enough to jettison EU membership. Truss now claims that backing the wrong horse in the referendum taught her to discard orthodox economic thinking.

Loved by children, monsters and adults for forty years, David McKee's iconic picture book is celebrated in this special anniversary paperback. The campaign would be fought on the economy and the smart thing for an ambitious young minister to do was back the winning side. My favourite books for very young children are Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and Not Now Bernard by David McKee. Then once the children have an understanding of the text, the teacher could transform the classroom into a TV show (have an image of the TV show name on the whiteboard and set up three chairs at the front of the classroom). This would be a useful story to get children to open up and discuss feelings, perhaps things that could be happening at home.

Bernard has a problem, as he has found a monster in the back garden, but his parents don't listen, as he tried to tell them that theres a monster and he needs help.

Too soon, because the benefits of freedom lie unclaimed under the pyre of “retained” EU regulations that both Truss and Sunak promise to incinerate. The end of free movement has caused labour shortages for food producers, care homes and a gamut of services in between. Sometimes when people are too busy they really don't notice what is around them and what is happening.Arguably the finest children’s book ever written, McKee’s clever fable is both a warning to neglectful parents and a very funny story about being ignored.
