Overview / 简介: |
| In a starred review, PW said, "Readers will have fun speculating along with the customers of a popular snack bar as to the off-season destination of its plump, white-bearded owner. This light-hearted romp concludes with a wordless surprise ending: Joe is none other than Santa." |

| PreSchool-K-Joe runs a snack bar in the spring and summer. But where does he go in the winter? In this fanciful picture book, the man's neighbors speculate on his off-season whereabouts. Double-page spreads reveal both the speculator and the speculation, visually suggesting a relationship between the two. Pearson's artwork and the sense of community the artist projects are reminiscent of her The Storekeeper (Dial, 1988; o.p.). Her watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations have a few quirky details and their storytelling capabilities enable her to keep her text brief without sacrificing the story's complexity. The text rhymes in the same fashion as Barbara Emberley's Drummer Hoff (S & S, 1967), as members of the neighborhood guess where Joe has gone: '" maybe the beach,' said old Mr. Leach," '" having tea with the Queen,' whispered Molly McLeen." This book touches on skills increasingly incorporated in preschool and primary-grade curriculums-prediction and extrapolation-and it's fun.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is a wonderful children's book, especially for those children who know Joe! Yes, there really is a Joe who owns Joe's Snack Bar in Jericho, Vermont, and every fall he closes for the winter and then reopens in the spring. This book captures what every child must feel when Joe leaves. Even if you don't know Joe, this is a must have children's book. The pictures and rhymes say it all and more. |
