Beloved, Yet Banned Censorship in Children’s Literature Wednesday, December 13, 2017 • 7-8:45pm NEW Grant R. Brimhall Library • Marvin E. Smith Community Room DAtE 1401 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks From Peter Rabbit to And Tango Makes Three, there’s more to Children’s Literature than meets the eye. Did you know that some picture books have been banned, smuggled out of France on a bicycle, and even inspired movies? The elements in these classics, have kept children entertained over the generations. Over 100 years of the best picture books will be highlighted as we revisit these treasures and some of the best new books. Jody Shapiro obtained a Master of Library Science at Peabody College in Tennessee and became a children’s librarian. In 1978, she founded Adventures for Kids, an award-winning children’s specialty bookstore which operated in Ventura for nearly 30 years. She is a published author of two picture books and teaches on the subject. Ms. Shapiro has also lectured at CSUCI. This presentation will also touch on censorship or challenges to Young Adult books as well, from both sides of the partisan divide.

Digital Brochure 1-Sheet
™ By arrangement with Frederick Warne & Co. nce upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were – Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Pet™er….” These famous opening lines of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” have enchanted young audiences for over one “O hundred years with the exploits of a charming hero, who, going against his mother’s wishes, has adventures (and misadventures) in Mr. McGregor’s garden. Beatrix Potter created an instant classic with the little blue-coated rabbit who we recognize as both boy and rabbit, wild and civilized, and who has become an icon of childhood since he first hopped out of the pages of a story book and into children’s hearts. Now Enchantment Theatre Company is delighted to collaborate with Frederick Warne & Co. and Penguin Books UK to present the authorized theatrical version of Peter Rabbit™ Tales. Meet Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, Beatrix Potter’s beloved characters, as they escape from Mr. McGregor, outfox Mr. Tod and rescue the Flopsy Bunnies from the disagreeable badger, Tommy Brock. When Benjamin’s children disappear, he goes to his cousin, Peter Rabbit, to help him find the bunnies. But Peter thinks he’s had quite enough of adventure, remembering his youthful escapades in Mr. McGregor’s garden. As the cousins reminisce about their past adventures, their friends - Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Jemima Puddle-duck and Mrs. Tittlemouse - gather to encourage Peter on this one last quest. In celebration of Beatrix Potter’s 150th birthday anniversary, Enchantment Theatre brings her captivating stories to life. Using fantastic masks, whimsical puppets, gorgeous scenery and original music, the magical, marvelous World of Beatrix Potter™ comes alive on stage.

Mia Thuro Annotated Bibliography 1. National Geographic. (2017
Mia Thuro Annotated Bibliography 1. National Geographic. (2017). Keystone Species. This National Geographic article talks about zoologist Robert T. Paine, who came up with the term “keystone species” and did the first major research on them. This article also explains the different types of keystone species such as, nutrient vectors, keystone prey, keystone hosts, and keystone trophics. The article provides several examples and explanations for each type. This article was helpful as a beginning place for me to find basic information on different types of keystone species. 2. Greentumble.com. (2017). 12 Examples of Keystone Species. This article lists 12 very important keystone species. It also goes into some more detail about what each of these species does, and what makes them a keystone species. This is helpful to me so that I can understand why these species are important and so that I can begin to narrow down which species I want to draw, and do further research on each of these species. 3. Defenders of Wildlife. (2017). Basic Facts About Prairie Dogs. This Defenders of Wildlife article focuses on important facts about Prairie Dogs. The article gives information about their diet, behaviors, habitats, and why they are keystone species. It talks about how Prairie Dogs’ burrows provide habitats to many other species, how they are prey to many species, and how they aerate and fertilize the land so that more plants can grow. All of this information is helpful to me in better understanding the importance of Prairie Dogs in their habitats, and how I can portray them in my drawings to relay this information.

Beatrix Potter: Lover of Nature” Before Answering Numbers 1 Through 5
UNIT 3 WEEK 4 Read the article “Beatrix Potter: Lover of Nature” before answering Numbers 1 through 5. Beatrix Potter: Lover of Nature Some people love nature. They spend time in it, draw about it, and write about it. Beatrix Potter was like that. Beatrix was born long ago, on July 28, 1866. She lived in a large house in London, England. In those days, well-to-do little girls did not go to school. They were taught at home. Beatrix was no different, and her parents hired a teacher to teach her reading, writing, art, and music. Beatrix had a little brother named Bertram. Both she and her brother had a schoolroom in the house where they studied. But when Bertram was six, he went away to school. After that, Beatrix was very lonesome since her parents did not allow other children to play with her. So Beatrix was on her own in a very big house. She spent a lot of this time drawing and painting. During the summers, the Potter family left the noisy city and went to the country. Beatrix loved her time in nature. In the city, the children’s freedom was limited. In the country, they could play freely, exploring the forests and meadows. All the time, Beatrix and Bertram drew pictures of everything they saw. They even caught wild animals and tamed them! Some of them they kept as pets. They had rabbits, a snake, a green frog, a tortoise, and two lizards. Beatrix and Bertram kept a collection of the animals in her schoolroom in London.

The Golden Age Classics
6 The Golden Age Classics A classic is classic not because it conforms to FHUWDLQVWUXFWXUDOUXOHVRUÀWVFHUWDLQGHÀQLWLRQV (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness. ~ Edith Wharton On a storm-blown Sunday afternoon in a creaky old manor house in England, I rediscovered the timeless delight of classic children’s books. It took me by surprise. I was one of about thirty international students studying and living LQ (QJODQG IRU WKH VXPPHU DQG WKLV ZDV RXU ÀUVW %ULWLVK teatime all together. A shy, awkward silence had fallen about us as we tried our best to balance philosophy, sophistication, and hot mugs of tea, when one of our tutors said something that sent us all staring. “Let’s read Winnie-the-Pooh.” 113 Read for the Heart A swift current of suppressed mirth ran the length of the room, but we were up for some fun, and the tutor assigned each person a part in the story. Pooh’s expedition to the North Pole was the story of choice, and before we knew what was happening we were immersed in the comical, compact world of the Hundred Acre Woods. The story had all of us—tutors, college students, post-graduates, old, and young—laughing until our sides literally ached. Amidst my giggles, I marveled at the ageless cleverness of the tale and the artfully captured personality of each animal (with resemblances to a few humans I could name). That unexpected hour brought back to me all the delight of the imaginative stories that so shaped my childhood.
