Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO * GRADUATE LIBRARY SCHOOL Volume 25 MARCH, 1972 Number 7 New Titles for Children and Young People Alden, Carella. Sunrise Island; A Story of Japan and its Arts. Parents' Magazine, 1971. 62p. illus. Trade ed. $4.50; Library ed. $4.19 net. Based on the Japanese production in "Art Entertainments," a series for young Ad people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and profusely illustrated by 4-6 photographs of art objects and some buildings, this is a combination of historical overview and survey of art forms. Interesting as the material is, the book is weakened by the fact that so much ground is covered that the text moves in jumps-"About a thousand years after..." one chapter begins. In a lecture, moving from one art object and the cultural facts it reflects to the next is not disruptive; in print it is awkward. A relative index is appended. Andersen, Hans Christian. The Emperor's New Clothes; with text ad. from Hans Christian Andersen and other sources by Jean Van Leeuwen; illus. by Jack and Irene Delano. Random House, 1971. 50p. Trade ed. $4.95; Library ed. $5.39 net. One of the most popular of Andersen's stories in new dress-or perhaps it's new R undress-is illustrated with fresh and imaginative pictures, beautifully detailed, 3-5 lively, and humorous. The emperor is pudgy and pompous, the tailors crafty and leering, the faces of the crowd watching the regal procession a frieze of shock when the ingenuous child points out the truth.

  • Metsä , a Park Themed on “The Moomins”, the First Outside Finland
    June 30, 2015 FinTech Global Incorporated City of Hanno, Saitama Prefecture Seibu Railway Co., Ltd. Metsä , A park themed on “The Moomins”, the first outside Finland, will be opened at Lake Miyazawa in 2017! FinTech Global Incorporated (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; president: Nobumitsu Tamai; hereafter, “FGI”) will open a gateway to the world of the Moomins—highly popular characters in their homeland of Finland as well as Japan—with a theme park built over an expansive area with Lake Miyazawa as the centerpiece in the city of Hanno, Saitama Prefecture. This will be the first true-to-original Moomin-themed facility, apart from Moominworld—a theme park in Finland, the birthplace of Moomin creator Tove Jansson—that features the lovable characters. For the opening of this facility, FGI and the city of Hanno, Saitama Prefecture (mayor: Masaru Okubo; hereafter “Hanno”) signed a Basic Agreement on Local Renaissance (hereafter, “the Agreement”) that sets out parameters for the theme park development as well as coordination and cooperation on other aspects that will help promote tourism in Hanno. Essentially the Agreement underpins joint efforts to attract tourists to the theme park and to Hanno. The land itself will be sold to FGI by the current owner of the property, Seibu Railway Co., Ltd. (head office: Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture; president: Hisashi Wakabayashi; hereafter, “Seibu Railway”). Around 1960, Seibu Railway began building recreational facilities at Lake Miyazawa, including Lakeside Park Miyazawako. The majestic landscape, showcased by the lake itself and the forested lands around it, is the perfect setting for the world of Moominvalley, a place of great natural beauty that is home to the Moomins, and to emphasize the concept of coexisting with nature, which is an enduring theme in the Moomin stories.

I argue that one of the main characters of Jansson’s book is the autumn forest that surrounds the abandoned Moomin house. The decomposing forest is not just an emblem of the inner lives of the guests that gather in the house but is an active character itself: an ambiguous life form that creeps in the house and must be expelled from its living core. I further demon- strate that the emotion of disgust has a crucial role in Jansson’s narrative, and that an adequate analysis of the intentional content of disgust allows us to see what is at issue in the relations between the characters. In my reading, the main insight of Tove Jansson’s last Moomin book is not about loss or sorrow but is about the human capacity to begin anew by composing novel wholes from scraps.

  • Stories of a Place in Time Moomin Museum in Tampere, Finland
    153 Stories of a Place in Time Moomin Museum in Tampere, Finland Diana Rimniceanu In the 2017 spring term, the professional design studio of Public Building at Tampere University of Technology in Finland set a design task for a build- ing that not only occupies and strengthens an urban place in Tampere but also presents imagined spaces: a museum for the stories, characters and places of the Moomin graphic novels by Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson. These graphic novels form the cultural and literary heart of many Finnish childhoods. For the design of such a cultural building, questions of place, landscape, the experience of spatial and material qualities are crucial. The beauty arises from the unexpected. And suddenly it was silence. The factory’s interior courtyard has its own sound of silence. Beyond the brick walls the fuss of the city life does not enter, nor the sound of the rapids, nor the wind. It is a place out of time, out of space; it gives me shelter. The project by Diana Rimniceanu begins with a museum in search of a place of its own in the city of Tampere. But it is no ordinary building . and 154 thus . no ordinary place. The intervention aspires to provide the frame- work for the imagined spaces created by Jansson. And the place? Old bare brick factory walls and a river, right in the heart of Tampere; each with its own story, building a strong and lively identity. The museum extension aspires to express the Moomin stories through an architecture that is specific and autonomous, capable of preserving the richness and uniqueness of the place while revealing the unexpected land- scapes that it hides; an architecture that grows gradually, scene by scene, creating encounters between the Moomin creatures, the historic industrial buildings and the new visitors.

Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
