See if this image is sharpen the senses:

Joking aside and start leaving this aside, we are fully immersed in the artist and album of the English author Anthony Browne whose title was already mentioned in above lines: Book of Pigs. Under the cloak of a children's publication, a simple and concise narrative lies a moral message that we could bring to the classroom.

Why a child crying mom always calls?

why when you do not find something in the cupboard you go to Mama?

why when you go to for advice cooking mama?

why when you're unwell mother care?

sure more of a situation you feel identified, and if not, I'm glad for it, meaning in this statement that domestic work is distributed in the home. The mother, an old historical journey, has borne the brunt of the family, has been the cornerstone of the family structure, as it represents the last image inserted. A voice suddenly remember those ads where the woman presumed to have a pan to make the comidita her husband or boasted of a strong vacuum that allowed him to have everything clean when her husband got home. Although Fortunately, this view increasingly disintegrates, there remain many examples of this exploited women's work: Nin @ s that wait for their mother make the bed, I set the table, they serve food, collect them tackle ... Without doubt, this is an issue that constantly circles the world and that much would have to say.

This is the vision that the author wants to reflect in his work, what if the mother figure disappeared from home a few days overworked? This is the situation the author posed and to which men and little men, rather, the pigs in the house do not know how to react. Its existence is sinking without it, the house becomes a pigsty and scream it from the rooftops: BACK PLEASE!

The question now is whether to work in the classroom with this album. From my point of view I would say yes, but not in high school, also, but since the early stages. Good manners are acquired as children and it is easier to get used from small tasks. In this line it does criticize the inclusion of the word "help" on the album, I'll explain my vision. The husband has to help the children do not have to help her mother, not all tienen que COLABORAR. La familia es un equipo y como tal cada uno debe desempeñar un papel, si hablamos de ayudar a mamá seguimos dejando el peso en la figura materna, así, apuesto por el reparto de tareas.

Sí, madre solo hay una, hay que cuidarla.
