Poengalengas - Book

This book contains a generous bunch of original spiel and other verses aspiring to poems, here and there with a twist of tongue twisters. It is the author's second book, having co-authored the first.

Written by Dénis Conceição and illustrated by Luís Cardoso, the book "Poengalengas" aims to contribute to moments of enjoyment of reading with the family. At the same time, it is a pedagogical tool, finding in the diversified vocabulary, rhymes, rhythm, sound and fun word games the ingredients to awaken interest in reading, as well as to promote a healthy development of language skills. (mastery of oral or spoken language, including awareness of speech sounds) and cognitive (attention and memory capacity).

This is an author's edition. In this case, the writer controls the entire process, except the project funding, which is in the hands of the supporters. Bearing in mind that the initial investment is much greater than what would happen if there was an intervention by a traditional publisher, it was decided to carry out a pre-sale through a crowdfunding campaign.

Our target is €2200. If we reach it before the time limit, you can continue to share, as this amount does not include the illustrator's fees. If, for any reason, the defined objective is not achieved, the amount of each reservation made will be returned to the respective supporters.

About the author

About the author:

Born in Caracas, capital of Venezuela, just over 43 years ago, Dénis Conceição began to show some taste for languages by quickly faking his Castilian accent, at 7 months, after his family returned to Portugal. The husband of a slender Aguedese citizen, with whom he wrote his first book, he is the father of two gigantic ninjas, who inspire him, day in, day out, in the writing process. He is also a 1st cycle teacher and it was at the School, with his students, that he plunged headlong into the universe of spiel and verses aspiring to poems.

About the illustrator:

Luís Cardoso realized early on that what he thought made more sense when drawn on a sheet of paper. Since 2008, he has also started to draw for others: cartoons for the press, comics, illustrations... Along with his activity as a teacher of Visual and Technological Education and Coordinator of the EBI School Library in Angra do Heroísmo, he continues trying to make the world a little more colorful than the one he found.
