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.How are these books different from other chess books for
young children? The picture book starts as a fairy tale about a king, a dragon
and a young girl with a dream. A young girl is the main character because
I want to encourage girls and make it clear that this game 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 is found in an attractive drawing. This was
  an important didactic choice made by the author.
• The story is told in rhyme. Preschoolers love repetition and
  this is a handy tool when memorizing the chess rules.

The accompanying Toolbox explains in a unique way how
to start playing chess: the rules, the tips and tricks anyone needs to
know are presented here. The Toolbox features two parts: how to teach one
pupil or a group of pupils. The author provides a unique approach, drawing on
her phenomenal teaching experience over the past decades.
