| Lois and Roland score the two lead roles in the school play Stormy Weather--the Thunder Queen and the Sun King. Disappointingly, our heroine Beverly is stuck playing the Wall and the Shrub. (Worse yet, her only line is "Please stop kicking me.") It is not the chance at stardom for which she had hoped. Still, she decides to give it her all--memorizing everyone's lines, helping build sets and make costumes, and baking cupcakes to sell at intermission. In the end, the Shrub saves the day, whispering cues from behind the foliage when the Thunder Queen forgets her lines. Young readers will see their own hopes and fears in Beverly, who agonizes over and completely blows her audition, but learns, as her parents teach her, that "There really are no small parts." Beverly, created in thick black lines à la Lauren Child or Lucy Cousins, is just as winning as she was in Alexander Stadler's Beverly Billingsly Borrows a Book. Comic touches abound in this sweet, compassionate book about a play, perseverance, and the power of a shrub. (Ages 3 to 7) |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Beverly Billingsly gets a trunk full of costumes from her aunt for her birthday. She loved to try them on a pretend to be various people. That is why she is very excited to hear that her school will be doing a play. She tries out for the play but things don't go well. She gets stage fright when she sees all of her classmates looking at her. She is given the part of a stone wall and a shrub. She fells like they are small parts and she is really disappointed. After taking with her parents she learned there are no small parts and she decides to try her best no matter what.
The book has a great theme of self confidence. Kids today can never hear this theme enough!
Yes the book is really good and the story moves at a fast pace. |
