Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| The description of this story above is a little vague, because this story has a lot of depth and depicts a very sweet brother-sister relationship. In preparing for Halloween, big brother Harry cat and his little sister Emily plan their costumes, but Emily wants to keep hers a secret until the last minute. Unfortunately it doesn't turn out quite the way she planned and when she comes downstairs for trick or treating she is crying because she is so disappointed with it. Harry saves the night by pointing out all of the neat things about her costume and telling her how clever it is. Then at each house where they trick or treat, Emily's costume gets extra attention because it is so unusual and Harry explains what she is to everyone. Emily gets lots of extra treats for her original costume, and at the end of the night she has more than Harry....but they put the candy together to share it.
As a parent with brother and sister siblings any book about cooperation and helping a younger child feel special is very welcome. Harry is a tremendously patient older brother. My five year old loves this book--if you have siblings in the 3-9 age range don't miss it. The drawings are one of our favorite things, they are very simple and sometimes (perhaps unintentionally) funny. My son loves how Harry's hair sticks up on top of his head. All of the books we have seen so far featuring Harry and Emily have the same themes of cooperation, positive thinking and increased independence. |
