中华资源库 ziyuanku.comA (2015·成都第二次诊断)The Children’s Bookshow Competition is a chance for young readers to be writers. Reading，it seems，is coming back into fashion，if a survey by the famous National Literacy Trust (the NLT) is true.It shows that the percentage of children who admit enjoying reading has grown for the first time in the past 8 years. So it’s a good time to launch a competition that includes a shedload of new books for schools as prizes.The Children’s Bookshow Competition，backed by The Independent，is taking to the roads again from the start of next term，with a nationwide tour of 15 big cities，featuring a lineup of a dozen children’s writers and illustrators(插图画家) aiming to persuade pupils to follow their footsteps. The competition，launched by the children’s writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami，has two categories: the undernine’s and nine to 13yearolds. Children are asked to choose their favorite fairy or folk tale and set it in an extraordinary place. Then they are to retell it with the aid of drawings and writings—whether it is set at sea，on a distant planet，in the future or in the past.The closing date for the competition is 30 November. “Tell your tale in pictures and in words，” say the organizers of the competition.“It can be in a picture book or comic book format.” |
