Witch Winnie, the endearing character created by writer Valerie Thomas and illustrator Korky Paul, has a black cat named Wilbur. This character is so nice and smart that she deserved her own series. For this reason, there are now books whose protagonist is this feline. These are small volumes printed on thick cardboard and rounded corners designed especially for the little ones. In fact, it is not necessary to know the adventures of the witch Winnie to enjoy these copies, as they are independently read. The works in this collection will be very useful for preschool parents and teachers, as they bring children closer to concepts such as colors, opposites, first words, shapes and numbers.

På biblioteket har Winnie og Wilbur lånt en bog om vilde dyr. Nu flyver de rundt i hele verden for at besøge dyrene i virkeligheden. Det er spændende at rejse ved hjælp af magi, men også farligt, når de besøger sultne og vilde dyr!

In Using Mental Imagery to Enhance Creative and Work-Related Processes, Valerie Thomas explores the productive use of mental imagery skills to engage with the processes of creativity. Practical and original, the book offers detailed guidance for a highly effective method that can provide rich insights into the development of a range of creative enterprises, including artistic and work-related projects. In this accessible and innovative book, Thomas pays equal attention to the theory and application of mental imagery. First, she explains how imagination-based methods have been developed and theorised within the discipline of creative behaviour, especially with regard to dual-processing theories of creativity. The book then considers mental imagery as a dialogical method informed by contemporary post-Cartesian theories of embodied cognition that reprise an earlier premodern understanding of imagination as a mediator between body and mind. Thomas introduces a particular approach to mental imagery that, informed by a functional research-informed framework (the Interactive Communicative model of mental imagery), can be applied very effectively to creative processes. The second half of the book provides detailed guidance on how to apply this particular method and is copiously illustrated with case vignettes. It includes chapters on using imagery theorised as conceptual metaphors such as the plant image for representing creative capabilities and the building image for representing creative and work-related projects. It also explains how to use imagery to represent and work with the conceptual processes of undertaking qualitative research projects. This original and wide-ranging book advances the scope and use of creative image-work in diverse settings. It will be an essential resource for everyone who is interested in developing their own mental imagery skills for creative real-world applications and for all professionals such as coaches, therapists and research educators who want to facilitate creativity in others.
