You could explore it in the context of traditional tales – investigating all the references and perhaps considering alternative “happy” endings just as Anthony Browne has done here. Jane Doonan, "The object lesson: picture books of Anthony Browne", Word & Image 2:2 (1986 April–June), pp.159–72. In 2000 Browne was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal, an international award given to an illustrator for their body of work.

There is no single ‘original’ version of an oral fairy tale, only endless permutations which evolve over time and change a little each time someone tells it anew. There is no beginning and no end to a fairy tale. Each tale has endless repetitions, giving birth to endless differences.

Although, the story is simple with a basic language, it gave a great variety of opportunities that allowed the children to explore a great deal with this book. Firstly the children used a range of similes and adjectives as well as metaphors and body language to retell parts of the story. There were so many shadows lurking around in the forest, if observed carefully you can see the three little bears lurking around in the shadows as the girl with the golden hair walks away. There was a cave behind the trees where it you can also see a small figure as he met a boy and a girl along his journey, as well as a man on a horse in shadows. The children got to explore these and create their own short stories based on these hidden characters in the book.

They could look for the hidden pictures depicting scenes from fairytales within the larger pictures. I also think the colours uses in the pictures add to the mystery of the book and will have children wondering what else could be lurking within the forest and whether or not the boy will make it safely to Grandma’s house.In botany and dendrology, A rhizome is the main stem of the plant that runs underground horizontally. (And sometimes above the ground, but let’s not confuse matters.) Ginger is an example of a rhizone. How is literary intertextuality like a stem-like root-type of thing? Into The Forest by Anthony Browne is story book, part ‘toy book’. Young readers learn to look at pictures and search for intertextuality, as each illustration links to a well-known fairy tale.

For it he won the Kate Greenaway Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject. [10] Anthony Browne writes postmodern picture books and Into The Forest is an excellent example of intertextuality. WHAT IS INTERTEXTUALITY?

and write a recount of what happened as a diary entry in role as the boy in the story. Think about feelings, emotions the boy had. What noises he heard? What he saw? How he felt? When he finished school Browne intended to become a painter, but being short of money he took a job as a medical illustrator, producing detailed paintings of operations for Manchester Royal Infirmary. After three years he grew tired of the job's repetitiveness and moved on to design greeting cards for Gordon Fraser.
