Colectia Editurii Gama este special conceputa pentru a le dezvolta copiilor gustul pentru lectura, prin selectia celor mai frumoase si mai apreciate povesti. Colectia e structurata pe 3 niveluri corespunzatoare stadiului la care se afla copilul in domeniul lecturii. Nivelul 1 este gandit pentru micii cititori incepatori, care abia incep sa citeasca fluent. Textul este adaptat gradului de intelegere al micilor propozitii scurte usor de citit datorita dimensiunilor mari ale literelor, cuvinte cunoscute si ilustratii plasate deasupra cuvintelor, pentru a-i ajuta sa decodifice rapid termenii si sa capete fluenta. Ilustratii mari, frumos colorate completeaza firul narativ, captivandu-i pe cei mici. In aceasta carticica copiii vor descoperi cunoscuta poveste a lui Ion Creanga "Povestea unui om lenes" si vor trage invataminte de folos dupa lecturarea ei.
Ion Creangă was a Moldavian-born Romanian writer, raconteur and schoolteacher. A main figure in 19th century Romanian literature, he is best known for his Childhood Memories volume, his novellas and short stories, and his many anecdotes.
Like Swift or Mark Twain, Creangă is more than a story-teller for children or simply a humorist. His work is a human and social document of the ways of thinking and the life of a Romanian village in the nineteenth century. It may seem of restricted interest, owing to the local peasant setting, as well as to the language in which it was written; it carries nevertheless all the joy and pathos of a book of universal significance. Creangă's Memories symbolically picture the destiny of every child walking the path toward maturity and experience. The work inaugurates an original formula in the art of memoir writing, and represents a monument of high spirits and verbal abundance. A jovial verbal torrent, a kind of lexical spree, generously flushes this rhapsody of perennial childhood.
