An Chailleach agus a Cuid Gruaige le Gabrielle Ní Mheachair

Léirítear sa leabhar seo conas a bhaineann Éamon díoltas amach ar an ndrochchailleach a d’fhuadaigh a chara, agus cuireann an leabhar síscéalta “Hansel agus Gretel” agus “Snow White” i gcuimhne dúinn.

Tugann na léiriúcháin sa leabhar léiriú beoga ar na féiríní ar nós féastaí móra, milseáin agus cácaí a usáideann an chailleach chun Éamon agus na páistí eile a mhealladh chuig a caisleán.

Éiríonn an chailleach bréan do agóidí na bpáistí agus tosaíonn an fhíoreachtra nuair a dhingíonn sí go leir isteach i mbairille iad, agus caitheann sí síos an cnoc é.

Is féidir aon deacrachtaí leis an fhoclóir a réiteach tríd an ghluais áisiúil atá ar chúl an leabhair seo a úsáid.

An Chailleach agus a Cuid Gruaige tells the story of how Eamon took revenge on the wicked old hag who kidnapped his friend, putting us in mind of the stories of Hansel and Gretel or Snow White.

The illustrations clearly show the bribes of feasts, cakes and sweets that the old woman uses to lure Eamon and the other children to her castle. When she gets tired of the children’s protests she successfully crams them all into a barrel, and throws the lot down the hill.

Suitable for children aged 8 or 9 upwards, any difficulties with vocabulary will be solved by the useful glossary at the back of this book.
