Description

Book Synopsis

How is this book different from other chess books for young children?

It starts as a fairy tale about a king, a dragon, and a young girl with a dream. A young girl is the main character to encourage girls and make it clear that chess 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 can be found in an attractive drawing. This was an important didactic choice made by the author, like the choice to tell the story in rhyme. Preschoolers love repetition and this is a handy tool when memorizing the chess rules.

Review Quotes

"Those
wishing to spread their love of the game of chess to little ones, but who are
looking for help on how to do so, will find Someday I'll Be a Queen: A
Pawn's Journey Across the Chess Board the perfect resource."

--IM John
Donaldson, 14-time captain of the U.S. Chess Olympiad team

Would you like to teach your child chess the
easy way?

Then 'Someday I'll Be a Queen' is the
perfect choice.

With the imaginative storytelling of author
Christel Minne, the charming illustrations by Dirk Dewitte, and the inspired translation
by the two Daniels, it's truly a winning combination!

- Gert
Devreese, Chief Editor De Standaard
