Product Information

Unlike some more messagey titles on the subject, this one provides Morris with a personality beyond his dress-loving nature, making him enjoyable literary company." — The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Caine, Michael (26 October 2011). My Autobiography: The Elephant to Hollywood. London, England: Macmillan Publishers Ltd. p.29. When his peers do, unsurprisingly, refuse to play with him, Morris plays by himself, building a space ship and placing his picture, depicting a collision of worlds — wild animals and other galaxies — on top of it. The picture intrigues his peers who ask him if there are really elephants and tigers in space; he invites them to find out and they follow him into his world. During that creative journey, taveras said working with the play’s young actors delivered inspiring moments that have made the play richer and even more in touch with the challenges kids today face growing up. For instance, Truman Bednar, a young actor playing Henry, one of the meanest bullies in the play (“Of course, he’s super sweet,” taveras stressed), wondered aloud during a workshop, “Where do you think these kids get this from? Why do you think they think this way?” Bednar ventured that maybe Henry had gotten this hateful thinking from one of his parents. This field report documents both challenges and bannings, calling our attention to a practice that many think is no longer a threat. And in fact, it includes only a fraction of such attempts. Research shows that only about 3-18 of challenges are reported. The report is also limited to books and does not include challenges to magazines, newspapers, films, broadcasts, plays, performances, electronic publications, or exhibits.

Students’ listening skills are trained by listening to the digital story, and their communication skills are practised within the complementary work activities. Within these activities, the class also starts to reflect their personal preferences, thinks and talks about how words can be hurtful and make you feel bad, and finally, the children are able to begin grasping the concept of gender identity/performance. All of these skills contribute to the children’s social and emotional competencies which are noted in the Bildungsplan 2016 alongside the language learning aims.Rob Carnevale, The Prestige – Michael Caine Interview, Indie London at www.indielondon.co.uk.

Morris is a relateable character whom many readers will find both sympathetic and familiar.”— Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW I am thrilled to be working with this talented cast and creative team on juliany’s beautiful world premiere play at Children’s Theatre Company,” said Director Heidi Stillman. I also think it’s an important text for kids in kindergarten and first grade because in my experience as a long-time primary teacher, children at this age have some very rigid views about what’s acceptable in terms of gender roles. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard things like “Pink is a girl’s colour!” or “Boys don’t play with dolls.” So in terms of showing children that it’s okay to be YOU and that it’s important to learn to accept others for whoever they are, this book is PERFECT!

In the episode, Caine appears as himself, portrayed in the light of his Alfred Pennyworth interpretation, and constantly annoys the protagonists with endless anecdotes of his career. Morris is a complex character whose creativity and personality shine. . . . Sensitive and reassuring.”— Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW
