It starts as a fairy tale about a king, a dragon, and a young girl with a dream. A young girl is the main character to encourage girls and make it clear that chess is also for them. The history of the game of chess is incorporated as you get acquainted with the characters.  The picture book is very inviting, with plenty of funny and beautiful drawings. There is a lot to discover! For the youngest preschoolers, it is best to tell the story in your own words, but the older preschoolers fully enjoy the rhyming story.    Every chess rule can be found in an attractive drawing. This was an important didactic choice made by the author, like the choice to tell the story in rhyme. Preschoolers love repetition and this is a handy tool when memorizing the chess rules.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743632531729,"sku":"NGR9789464201888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51066208452881,"sku":"NIN9789464201888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689407148305,"sku":"NLS9789464201888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9464201886.jpg?v=1751351726"},{"product_id":"someday-i-ll-be-a-queen-toolbox-playing-chess-with-one-kid-group-book-christel-minne-9789464201895","title":"Someday I'll be a Queen - Toolbox - Playing Chess with one Kid \u0026 Group","description":"This toolbox full of tips and games accompanies the picture book, Someday I'll Be a Queen, which incorporates all the rules of chess. Teachers, parents, grandparents, and chess coaches learn how to build it up step by step.   The message is, have fun! Enjoy the book and the game together. Take your time. Don't go through the book all at once but learn piece to piece after which you rehearse the chess piece.   I work with small groups of 6 to 8 children for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time. With the four-year-olds, I explain about the king and after that, we play four different games. During the last game, before they learn to move the rook, I put a car on the chess board. Every toddler knows not to stand in the street when a car approaches. So they have to move their king to safety each time. Actually, they are already lifting check without realizing it.          The hardest thing for experienced and trained chess players is to apply the game in such a way that you think at the toddler's level. Make it very simple. Don't overwhelm them with too many rules at once. Tackle it playfully using the language of their environment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50698694000913,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50698696229137,"sku":"NGR9789464201895","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52684855673105,"sku":"NLS9789464201895","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9464201894.jpg?v=1751437518"},{"product_id":"someday-i-ll-be-a-queen-bundle-book-christel-minne-9789464201901","title":"Someday I'll Be a Queen - Bundle","description":"This bundle consists of two books: a children’s picture book, Someday I’ll Be a Queen, along with a Toolbox for adults who want to teach children to play chess.

Omdat jonge kinderen de figuren op een schaakbord intrigerend vinden, bedacht Christel Minne (kleuterjuf en schaakcoach) een leuk en historisch prentenboek in rijmvorm om kleuters vanaf vier jaar mee te nemen in de wereld van het schaken. De tekeningen in het prentenboek zijn grappig en hebben als doel een visuele ondersteuning te bieden om de schaakregels te memoriseren. De bijhorende toolbox biedt bovendien tal van spelletjes en tips voor kinderen, ouders, grootouders, leerkrachten en therapeuten die het schaken willen (aan)leren. Ken je als volwassene niets van het schaken, dan biedt dit boek gezellige en ontspannen momenten om samen met je (klein) kind of een groep kinderen aan de slag te gaan.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52690049925393,"sku":"NLS9789464201642","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789464201642.jpg?v=1762336826"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-christel-minne.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
