| Grade 1–3—The course of true friendship does not always run smooth, as Debbie and Tina discover. Although the girls enjoy rolling down hills, sleepovers on the lawn, riding bikes together (no-handed), they don't always agree on how to spend their time. That predicament reaches a crisis when Debbie, who's taking piano lessons, makes a cardboard keyboard for her friend so that the two of them can play duets. Tina gives it back—citing a lack of interest—and Debbie is crushed. Ultimately, the girls make up and by story's end their ongoing companionship is back in full swing. Perkins's "cardboard piano" derives from an incident (related briefly on the copyright page) about the celebrated composer Sergei Rachmaninoff who practiced on a silent piano while crossing the Atlantic. While the connection is a bit esoteric, it is handled in a totally child-centric way. However, the introduction of a new character on the last several pages seems contrived to make things right. Still, the necessity of understanding differences between friends may hit the right chord when needed most or work well in group situations where the message can be gently absorbed. Perkins's clear-toned watercolors touched with pen lines attractively appear in varied-sized spot illustrations. And the conversation bubbles that she injects in addition to the ongoing narrative nicely carry the story forward. The book includes a DVD, animated and narrated by the author.—Barbara Elleman, Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is a fun story about two best friends named Debbie and Tina. They liked to be together and play dress up and have a good time. Debbie loved to play piano and Tina wanted to learn to play too. So, Debbie had a great idea to make Tina a piano so she could practice also. She made the piano out of cardboard! This really inspired me to want to make a piano of my own out of cardboard!
It was fun a first for Tina, but she didn't like to play it alone, she thought it was boring. She would rather skate. Debbie was upset that Tina didn't want to learn to play piano with her. She couldn't understand why Tina didn't like the cardboard piano.
Debbie tried to understand why Tina didn't like the piano so she tried to play it herself. It didn't make music in her head. She thought playing the real piano was better. So, instead of being sad she was happy to have fun together.
"The Cardboard Piano" by Lynne Rae Perkins is an awesome book for girls who like music and making things. |
