Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet: 1

Product Information

The Library's buildings remain fully open but some services are limited, including access to collection items. We're This book also approaches issues such as bullying and prejudice as well as true friendship and forgiveness. These themes would be great PSHE topics to discuss with the children, relating to the book as well as personal experiences. Leuke illustratie, net zoals het vorige boek vond ik het een leuke stijl en het past goed bij het boek. I also enjoyed the choices of font used throughout this book. It encouraged my imagination to run wild. It makes the book more accessible for children, in particular the children who may struggle with reading. This is because it breaks up the text into small and manageable chunks having the images and crazy fonts alongside to help with comprehension of the story. This could be used to look at language and how it can be represented. Such as when Mian has used lightening bolts instead of 'S' in the sentence 'as fast as humanly possible'. The children could discuss her choice to replace the 'S' and why she might have chosen a lightening bolt. This will help to develop their creative writing and think deeper about their language choice.

Verder best leuk om te lezen en ik vind het ook nog steeds leuk dat Omar en zijn familie moslim zijn en we goed zien hoe het voor hen is (vooral het jongste broertje heeft het moeilijk met halal, maar dat is logisch hij is nog zo jong). Ik vond het leuk om te lezen over alle lekkere gerechten die moeder maakt.

This book follows a young Muslim boy called Omar. Him and his family have just moved house as his mum has just gotten her dream job. As a result of this, he has to start a new school and this made him very nervous as he thought his new teacher might be an alien. As you read this book, you follow the everyday life of Omar and you also go through the struggles that he is encountering at school, specifically with a young boy called Daniel. However, later on in the book when Omar and Daniel get lost, they forget all of their differences and join together to try and find the rest of their class. I like the themes in the book and I enjoyed exploring Omar’s positive thoughts to help him understand that he is different. I liked the different fonts and pictures in the book. This will encourage children to read the book and challenge themselves to identify what the images represent.

Unexpected Super Spy is the second book in the Planet Omar series and it is just as much fun as the first. A very kid-friendly and appealinglyhonest story about being different, being labeled ‘other.'”— The New York Times Book Review As a reader I like how the author chose to present some of the words as illustrations as this made it easier to follow and was also engaging. Also I like how the author has explained many of the key words in a child friendly manned which would help both children and teachers to understand their meanings and read them within context.Het boek begint als de familie van Omar net is verhuisd naar een nieuw huis en dit helaas ook een nieuwe school betekent. Voor geen enkel kind leuk, maar Omar noemt zichzelf ook nog eens een ware “probleemmagneet”, want overal waar hij gaat trekt hij problemen aan. Maar of dat altijd de schuld van Omar is?
