Overview / 简介: |
| Rose has a cold. And while Mother tucks her in for a nap, she tells Rose about growing up in Jamaica. She describes how she clickety clacked to school on mango heels and made a rag doll because she couldn't afford a store-bought chalk doll. And Rose knows she'll feel much better once she makes her own rag doll, too. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2-- A stunning book in design, illustration, and story. Lessac's flat, primitive, folk paintings beautifully extend the simple text, a dialogue between a middle-class mother and her child that captures the love, closeness, and sharing between the two. Rose is in bed with a cold, and to entertain her, her mother tells her stories of growing up in Jamaica, where Rose's mother is seen not as a child who lived in poverty, but rather as one without the material possessions her child has. As the stories unfold, Rose is swept up in a "grass is always greener" syndrome: walking to school barefoot, no store-bought "chalk" dolls, and only homemade dresses all sound wonderful. Deep blues, lush greens, and sunny yellows capture the ambiance of the island setting, while other pages with more subdued tones show Rose in her bedroom; this technique may initially puzzle some children because of the switches back and forth. Easy to read, yet flowing enough for a read-aloud, this is an unusual portrayal of the difference in lifestyles between generations and between cultures. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book is an endearing story of a little girl who is not feeling well and her mother tells her of a doll she had as a child. I am using this book as a part of a reading program for First grade. It fills the need for a book about family and feelings. Your child will love hearing this book read to them and will probably become one of their favorites. I teach grades 1, 2, 3 & 4 and I know what children love. This is a winner! |
