It's themed Tuesday! Today's questions will all be about...
Children's Literature
Question 1:
The Hundred Acre Wood is the fictional home of what anthropomorphic bear created by A. A. Milne?
The character is inspired by a stuffed toy that Milne had bought for his son Christopher Robin in Harrods department store, and a bear they had viewed at London Zoo.
Question 2:
First appearing in Henry Huggins (1950), Ramona Quimby is one of the best known characters created by this author of children's literature.
The majority of Cleary's books are set in the Grant Park neighborhood of northeast Portland, Oregon, where she was raised. Several statues of her most famous characters were erected in Grant Park in 1995. Cleary died on March 25, 2021, at the age of 104.
Question 3:
What award-winning science fiction novel by Madeleine L'Engle—the first in a series—would introduce the characters of Meg Murry, her youngest brother Charles Wallace Murry, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe?
Upon completion in 1960, the novel was rejected by dozens of publishers because it was, in L'Engle's words, "too different," and "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was really difficult for children".
Question 4:
Anna Sewell's sole published work is what well-loved children's book? It was released in November 1877, just five months before her death.
With over fifty million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 58 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.
Question 5:
There are over 200 novels in this children's book series that was originated by Ann M. Martin.
The books are about a group of friends who live in the fictional, suburban town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut and run a local babysitting service.
