| Willa and Willoughby, the sweet floppy-eared rabbit siblings from Tell Me Something Before I Go to Sleep, here explore the advantages and disadvantages of growing up. Very early one morning, Willa rouses her brother to make her breakfast, because "I can't reach." At Willa's urging, Willoughby shows her all the things he can do around their cheery, vibrantly colored home because he's big: from washing the carrot-motif dishes to taking a shower solo. It all sounds very promising to Willa, until she asks, "Will I have to tidy my own toys?" and Willoughby responds with authentic older-brother bluntness, "You'll be too big for toys." Gliori depicts Willa's dawning understanding with a painting of her staring out the window into a monochromatic landscape as she contemplates being "in the world all by myself." Fortunately, Willoughby quickly devises a cure: the final scene, literally from a bird's-eye view, shows brother and sister secure in their mother's embrace under an expansive patchwork quilt. A moving tribute to the sibling ties that bind. Ages 3-7. (Sept.) |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Remember what it was like to be little and wanting to be big! A time when everything would be better if only you were bigger. This heartwarming story is about a bunny named Willa who is very curious about growing up. She gets up very early one morning by herself and realizes she is too little to get breakfast on her own. Willa decides to wake up her brother, Willoughby, who agrees to help her. As he helps her with breakfast, she starts to question him about what it's like to be big. Willoughby patiently answers Willa's questions with older sibling wisdom. The painted illustrations make you feel warm and comfortable. The endpapers remind you of a cozy quilt. All of which remind you of home. Children K-3 will love this story for it's illustrations and the wonderment of what it's like to be older. Adults will love reading it for the nostalgic memories of wanting to be big and knowing what it's like when you finally get there. |
