This bundle consists of two books: a children's picturebook,Someday I'll Be a Queen, along with aToolboxforadults who want to teach children to play chess.
How are these books different from other chess books foryoung children?
The picture book starts as a fairy tale about a king, a dragonand a young girl with a dream.A young girl is the main character becauseI 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 getacquainted with the characters. The picture book is very inviting, with plenty of funny andbeautiful drawings. There is a lot to discover! For the youngest preschoolers, it is best to tell the storyin your own words, but the older preschoolers fully enjoy the rhyming story. Every chess rule is found in an attractive drawing.
