Overview / 简介: |
Two friends will win your heart as their adventure amazes your eyes.
Gloria is brave, but Frieda is absolutely not. Gloria wants to go for a walk but Frieda absolutely does not. Everything is scary from Frieda's point of view-the river looks suspiciously like a snake, and is that a moldy old log over there, or a ferocious dog? When Frieda cries wolf one too many times, Gloria stops listening to her. But what's that in the bushes? Are the two little friends in danger, or is it another figment of Frieda's imagination?
Matthew McElligott's visual illusions will have you just as amazed as Frieda is about what's absolutely real and what's absolutely not. And Gloria and Frieda's friendship will win your hearts.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kindergarten-Grade 2-This unpretentious story about friendship has a twist borrowed from "The Blind Man and the Elephant" that separates it from the pack. Dressed up in elegant outfits in complementary shades of lavender and periwinkle, two green bugs share a companionable walk. Gloria is eager to participate fully in the beautiful day; Frieda is timid and imagines danger everywhere. What Frieda sees as a snake, Gloria recognizes as a river. Gloria's lovely log looks to Frieda like a dog. After having an enjoyable time in spite of herself, Frieda reluctantly agrees to take Gloria's shortcut home through the woods ("Have I been wrong so far?") and indeed Frieda's fears are realized. The friends narrowly escape, but make plans for another walk the next day. McElligott's simple and attractive layout; the clean, orderly pencil-and-watercolor illustrations; and the straightforward text with its predictable aspects all work together to keep readers inside the joke. Absolutely Not offers young readers a rare chance to synthesize verbal and graphic clues and figure out for themselves what's what. It all adds up to a dash of emerging literacy and a splash of fun.-Liza Graybill, Worcester Public Library, MA |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This beautiful book works on several different levels -- it's a story about facing and conquering your fears. It's a story about friendship. And it also has incredibly clever illustrations -- trompe l'oeil style landscapes which kids will love poring over. A terrific picture book, one that warrants repeat readings. |
