Dani the Artist

By Bill Bendall

In Dani the Artist, Dani the Dingo becomes frustrated when her photographic artwork doesn't meet her vision, until her father tells her there is no bad art, just "different" art, renewing her passion for her craft.

This story teaches a valuable lesson about persistence, creativity, giving positive feedback, and self belief, as well as prompting discussions about what art "is" and how it "should" be done.

Teachers are able to use this text for small group reading circles or as a Big Book text, whilst parents will find the questioning useful to easily engage and expand the thinking of their children whilst reading together.

Dani the Dingo stories are junior fiction texts which address this niche that parents and teachers alike have been crying out for! Each story features bright, colourful pictures to attract the young reader, a simple story with a soft moral lesson, yet the beginnings of more advanced language, plot devices, and inferencing mechanisms to challenge the reader. Specifically designed by teachers with over 40 years experience, for teachers as high-level equivalent Fountas and Pinnell texts, Dani the Dingo focuses on students:
- Using context and pictures to derive the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary
- Predicting
- Inferring meaning as shown through actions and expressions rather than direct telling
- Navigating - Using simple headings to understand what a section will tell about
- Identifying a point in the story where the problem is resolved
- Taking apart compound words
