Overview / 简介: |
| K-Gr 2-Arnold just knows that his pirate costume is scary enough to win the "Scariest of All" prize in his school's Halloween parade. After boasting about it to his classmates, he realizes he left it on the bus. When it comes time for the students to change into their costumes, Arnold unsuccessfully invents a "scary bug" outfit at the last minute. Feeling left out and disappointed, he crawls under a drop cloth to hide. Before long, everyone is looking for him and he ends up frightening them all, including the teacher, when he gets the idea to stand up under the sheet and howl like a ghost. All ends well, as Arnold is declared the "Scariest of All." The accompanying artwork created with pencil and gouache features a racially mixed classroom. These slightly unfinished-looking illustrations adequately depict the text but fail to add dimension. Still, this is an amusing Halloween story, suitable for reading aloud, that's likely to please children. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| After Arnold forgets his pirate outfit on the bus, he abandons hope of being "Scariest of All" at his school costume party. He improvises a bug suit, but a "headless horsewoman" and a Harry Potter lookalike laugh at him. Feeling dejected, he crawls under a paint-spattered dropcloth... only to be mistaken for a ghost. Success! In unpolished but emotion-rich gouaches of a classroom, Poydar (Mailbox Magic) shows how Arnold's braggadocio hides his vulnerability. Arnold isn't lovable, but his lonely situation rings true. Ages 4-8. |
