Fortune-Tellers | Lloyd Alexander

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

This original folktale set in Cameroon is full of adventure and sly humor. Lloyd Alexander's story of a young man visiting -- and then becoming -- the village fortune-teller is brought to vibrant life with some of Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman's most memorable artwork. Both children and adults will relish The Fortune-tellers. "A funny, playful story that evokes the irony of the human condition." -- dren, most of which she also illustrated. She lives in Westchester County, New York. Susan Jeffers's award-winning work includes Brother Eagle, Sister Sky, The Midnight Farm, and Hiawatha (all Dial).

Fortune-Tellers | Lloyd Alexander

It's that time of year again, time to put away my Halloween decorations. ☹️ But I'm comforted by finding this lovely poem while cleaning, illustrated by my favorite illustrator Trina Schart Hyman. 😊 It's from the October 1986 issue of the Cricket magazine.

The Fortune-Tellers | Lloyd Alexander, Trina Schart Hyman

What an amazing TL story by Lloyd Alexander! I read this story multiple times since discovering it and can't wait to use in my classroom! This would be a great RT or DR that the students would love. A man becomes a fortune teller without even knowing and this story has been passed down through the African culture. This story elements template works great with this story https://www.teachingbooks.net/clp.cgi?master_id=46538&lf_id=9

Olsonashley19 UDL principle 3.1 and ESOL strategy 29 and 27 would be great to use with this story. #lae3414sp19 6y
