From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Rosie the pig likes nothing better than to nosh swill from her trough and doze in the "muck-mushy mud." One memorable day, farmer Luke gives Rosie a good scrubbing and brings her to Mr. Porkpie's place, where she's expected to "ham it up" while Mr. Porkpie "shoots" her. Of course, Rosie imagines she's being led to slaughter, but soon she's modeling silly outfits in a photo session. A self-respecting porker can stand only so much humiliation, however, and Rosie flees the studio, hightailing it back to the farmAand her comfortable muddy pen. Carr (Dark Day, Light Night) spins a chipper if trifling story from common figures of speech. And kids will surely appreciate why this little piggy wants to run all the way home. Rosie, in all her bright, plush pinkness, dominates Bender's (The Three Billy Goats Gruff) generally dark-hued watercolor-and-pastel paintings. One spread, featuring Rosie striking a pose in a pot of springy hollyhocks, is a real giggle-getter. Ages 4-8. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| "It was a pig-perfect morning. As the pale, pearly light broke over the quiet farm, Luke carried a bucket of swill to the sty. He spilled the swill into the big tin trough. Rosie ate her fill."
I chose the first page of the book to describe all of the alliterations that go on in the story. It was very descriptive.
This book is about a pig that is afraid that she is going to become bacon and ham.
I like the book because it's a really good book and Rosie and Luke remind me of Wilbur and Luke in Charlotte's Web.
I think this book is good for kids of all ages. I think you will like it, but of course I don't know.
