Overview / 简介: |
| As the song says, everything old is new again—at least it is to a young girl who revels in collecting and dressing up in hand-me-downs and secondhand finery. She inventively repurposes some garments and muses about the previous lives of others: “I try to imagine / The places they’ve been / And the faces they’ve seen— / And whose clothes they’ll be / When they’ve finished with me.” With a deft rhythm and rhyme, Hoberman’s celebration of clothes well worn (and well loved) feels fresh and timely, despite the text’s original publication in 1976, and it is an apt message for a new generation just learning the three Rs—reduce, reuse, and recycle. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| “The imaginative child’s enthusiasm is infectious–kids might well be inspired to ask for secondhand outfits themselves…. The overall effect is a visual celebration of old clothes.”
Children's Poet Laureate Mary Ann Hoberman offers a bouncy, fun-to-read-aloud text and a refreshingly agreeable, resourceful protagonist who likes old clothes for their "history" and "mystery." Illustrator Patrice Barton brings new, contemporary life to the poem, with an adorable little girl and her younger brother playing dress-up, making crafts, and happily treasuring their hand-me-downs. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is an excellent book to read when talking about recycling. The little girl in this book has such a positive and fun attitude towards old clothes, you can't help but get excited about going to a thrift shop. She wonders about where they came from, who wore them, and where they might go next. It's an attitude most people would never take towards clothing and it's fun to read. |
