Overview / 简介: |
Raisin loves being the littlest cow in the herd. All the other cows dote on her, and life is grand.
But one day, Raisin’s mother has a new little cow . . . one who is even smaller than Raisin. And suddenly everything changes. Raisin has never liked change, and this one is the worst. Now no one pays attention to her, the new baby smells funny, and even the weather won’t cooperate.
But then, when absolutely everything is going wrong, Raisin discovers a change in herself—one that delights the entire herd. Even (and especially!) the new baby. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreS-Gr 2—Raisin the cow has a good life. All of the bigger cows fuss over her because she's the smallest one in the herd, and she likes that. Everything is going well until changes begin to happen. Raisin doesn't like change, and this one is the worst. One Thursday, Raisin's mother has a new baby calf. All of the other cows are very excited…except for Raisin. Not only is she no longer the smallest and the cutest but the older cows are paying more attention to her younger brother than they do to her. Her mother does her best to include the upset little cow. She asks her to help feed the new calf, but Raisin doesn't want any part of it. When her mother inquires what he should be named, Raisin suggests the name of her least favorite day—Thursday. But something magical happens as thunder starts to rumble across the sky. Raisin realizes that her brother dislikes the immense noise more than she does. Could she change and be the one to help her frightened little sibling? This is a successful book on many levels. The illustrations are appealing, and the characters are full of expression. This title will be helpful to parents who are introducing a new baby into a family and have young ones who might be having a difficult time adjusting to the situation. This story will also be beneficial for helping children who have a hard time dealing with change. VERDICT An appealing read-aloud for one-on-one and small group sharing; ideal for medium to large collections. |
