SuitabookPas de pitié pour la morue!
Pierre Roy
- Reading
- If the hunting scene worries your reader, pause to talk through what they understood and how it made them feel. You could then read on together to see how Anh approaches her questions.
- Themes
- Seal hunting and family: Anh sees her grandfather among seal hunters in a television report and wants to learn more about the seal hunt during a visit to her grandparents. The hunt is a subject of concern for Anh, but her questions alone do not establish the story's overall judgement of it.
- Declining cod stocks: Anh wants to learn the reasons behind the decline in cod stocks; the book is described as aiming to explain a specific environmental problem. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- Anh sees a report of seal hunters in action and is horrified; her grandfather is among them.
