Last term we started looking at different plots found in children’s books and young adult novels.

Do you remember them?

This term we are looking more closely at ‘The Fear Tale’. Here is the plot outline of The Fear Tale:

the fear tale

We can identify different stories and picture books that follow this plot. It is important to remember that a story or book may not fit exactly into this plot but still be considered a Fear Tale. For example, there may be no teasing in the story about the main character’s fear, or the fear may be a fear felt by all characters, such as a village fearing a dragon or an evil queen. 

One of Miss B’s favourite picture books loosely follows The Fear Tale. It is a story of a duck named Ping, who lives on a boat with his master on the Yangtze River in China. Here are some photos of the Yangtze River that Miss B visited  in September:
