Jack Kent (1920–1985) had two distinct and successful careers: newspaper cartoonist and author of children’s books. For each of these he drew upon different aspects of his personality and life experiences. From 1950 to 1965 he wrote and drew King Aroo, a nationally syndicated comic strip beloved by fans for its combination of absurdity, fantasy, wordplay, and wit. The strip’s DNA was comprised of things Kent loved—fairytales, nursery rhymes, vaudeville, Krazy Kat, foreign languages, and puns. In 1968, he published his first children’s book, Just Only John, and began a career in kids’ books that would result in over sixty published works, among them such classics as The Fat Cat and There’s No Such Thing as a Dragon. Kent’s stories for children were funny but often arose from the dark parts of his life—an itinerant childhood, an unfinished education, two harrowing tours of duty in World War II, and a persistent lack of confidence—and tackled such themes as rejection, isolation, self-doubt, and the desire for transformation. Jack Kent: The Wit, Whimsy, and Wisdom of a Comic Storyteller illuminates how Kent’s life experiences informed his art and his storytelling in both King Aroo and his children’s books. Paul V. Allen draws from archival research, brand-new interviews, and in-depth examinations of Kent’s work. Also included are many King Aroo comic strips that have never been reprinted in book form.

The Years Before School by Vivian Edmiston Todd,Helen Heffernan Pdf
Abstract: Educators specializing in early childhood education are increasingly aware that a Projectian-type philosophy is needed in the field. Such a philosophy would include: teaching a child to learn at the conscious level; parallelling instructional and learning theory; facilitating individual motivation by learning experiences with peers and adult guidance; use of preschool teaching to eliminate problems--scholastic, behavioral, and emotional--and the need for remedial programs later in the educational process; and awareness that girls as well as boys need a preschool foundation for whatever career and life-style they may choose. Preschool programs are increasingly important to families that are nuclear rather than extended and where the mother works more often than not. Preschool programs should aid in the eventual development of a just, humanistic person who is able to deal happily and successfully with problems that may arise in his family or his society.
