From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2—Jack and his action figure, Guy, return for another adventure. Real-life brothers Jack and Gus, who appeared in Below (Holt, 2006), again pose for photographs that Crews uses as the basis for photo-collage illustrations. Little brother Gus has a more prominent role this time around, as the boys must work together to rescue skydiving Guy when he gets caught in a tree. The authenticity of Crews's illustrations makes it easy for readers to access Jack's imagination. Whether looking up at the toy or gazing down at Jack and Gus, the author's varied point of view draws readers into the action. Jack worries about what might happen to Guy if he is left up in the tree too long. Threats are depicted as white line drawings over color photographs that blend reality and imagination perfectly. Clearly, Jack starts out thinking of himself and Guy as the perfect team, but learns that including Gus in adventures is more fun for everyone. Children will relate to the brothers' plight and enjoy the story's positive message.—Lisa Glasscock, Columbine Public Library, Littleton, CO

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| My 15 month old calls each and every one of her little people "Guy" since we first read Above and Below from the same author. Sky-High Guy came in the mail today and I tore it open- sans toddler- just so I could see what Guy and Jack were up to this time! Another great addition to our children's book collection and another fantastic book from Nina Crews. |
