From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 1-3-Archibald Frisby is a smart and well-read lad with a unique way of looking at the world. He views his cat in terms of its skeletal structure, he has dismantled every kitchen appliance in the name of science, and he'd rather read Spores Illustrated than participate in sports. His mother, horrified by his obsession with all things scientific, turns off his computer and boots him off to camp. While other kids sit around a fire, Archibald gazes at constellations and turns nature walks into opportunities to contemplate photosynthesis. His eccentricity endears him to the other campers, especially when his grasp of physics helps them to beat the counselors in a game of baseball. The story is clever, but slight. The full-color illustrations combine cartoonlike figures with gimmicky scientific charts and explanations. The concept seems a bit too esoteric for its picture-book format. Some readers might be amused by it, but for a more successful assimilation of science and entertainment, stick with Joanna Cole's "Magic School Bus" series |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is a story about a boy who likes science. There is a real joy in science and the author illustrates that joy in the activities of Archibald. Archibald's mother is concerned that her son is so wrapped up in his reading and his way of looking at things, she sends him to camp to try to be a "normal kid." She wanted him to have a good time. But, Archibald shows his Mom and the other campers that science and "having a good time" can go together. This is a book that celebrates the joy of science and is something of a rarity in books for children of this age group. I highly recommend it and think that the comments made by the "Horn Book" above are a little too harsh. A few lines of the text may have some forced rhyming. But, that doesn't lessen the value of this book. The Horn reviewers probably didn't do well in their science courses in College but did well in poetry. |
