DOWNLOAD EBOOKCan the Farting Four-Toed Troll carry out his kind deeds secretly, so no one hears him? Will he inspire others to help feed the hungry animals? Poop! Fart! These are the words that can be so embarrassing for parents and grandparents. And, it is certainly a headache for preschooler and early elementary teachers to try to instill appropriate language in their young students. Well, Farting Four-Toed Troll gives a great opportunity for parents and teachers to talk about these words in a way that is more appropriate. Using this book is a pleasant way to teach children the use of "good" words vs. "bad" words. Introduce the book title and say, "Hmmm, should we say Farting Four-Toed Troll or Christmas Troll? I wonder how the Norwegian or Swedish troll would feel if we called him a farting troll." Lavelle Carlson, retired speech-language pathologist, wrote this book for for a couple of reasons. One, she has worked with young children and realizes the pragmatics of communication. There is a way to communicate that makes people feel better and there is a way to communicate that makes others feel bad. Another reason Lavelle Carlson wrote the book is to share some fun Scandinavian culture in a light-hearted way. She was lucky enough to live in Stavanger, Norway for nine years and is also married to a second-generation Swedish man. She has seen first-hand a culture in which the people show compassion and care for others. She was also exposed to some of the old folklore of the trolls. Yes, there is a tradition of the Christmas troll who loves the animals and feeds them. The Farting Four-Toed Troll (Christmas Troll) is a fun take on how the troll's tradition of feeding the animals came to be. The illustrations are reminiscent of Jan Brett's Scandinavian art.
