Dear Greenpeace

Product Information

Sally’s teacher says that limpets live for twenty years. Will Sally ever get the limpet off her finger? 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. 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! The book also highlights the exciting opportunities that Greenpeace can offer, ‘Perhaps when you are older you would like to sail the oceans studying and protecting whales with us.’ The forlorn Emily sitting on her bed now has hope of adventure and protecting whales like Arthur which takes the sting out of him leaving. Her room surrounded by posters and books of whales shows how she has continued her learning and has been studying already. Showing children that there are jobs where you can study the things you are passionate about is also a really important message. George would rather stay in his nest, but one day his nest falls out of the tree taking George on an amazing adventure.

Do you have any other 'Persuasive Writing' resources/plans - much like in the Lit Shed + units, as there doesn't appear to be any? 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. 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.

A breath of fresh air… Witty and sparkling line-and-wash pictures… Full of humour and vitality.’ The Guardian Simon’s Comments The heart-warming story of a little boy who misses his mum from award-winning author–illustrator Simon James. 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. I think this book would've been more interesting if the child were writing a marine biologist and not Greenpeace. Because of that choice, it feels fluffy and like an organisation doesn't care about a child's imagination? It's weird. I don't like it as it is, and it could've been done far better.

Look at photos of whales and use these as the starting point for your own illustrations, pictures and paintings. An unusual and rather lovely picture book, Dear Greenpeace combines delightful, light illustrations with sharp, intelligent text in the form of letters. 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.

Greenpeace explain that whales need more space and that they are migratory, meaning that they travel a long way every day. Emily’s imaginary story to herself and the scientific replies that Greenpeace give her provide a perfect basis for asking questions about the environment and especially about animals and freedom.’ 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. 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.
