| Starred Review. As light and sweet as cotton candy, this saga of a pig in love will win over kids and grownups alike. Van Lieshout's loosely drawn pen and ink illustrations, mostly on stark white pages, wring Oscar-winning expressions from the slenderest curves and squiggles. The minimalist text begins before the title page, when Bloom's faithful friend urges her to join him playing in a puddle. The insouciant pig declines, declaring, in type of varying size, that she feels like dancing and singing… and stretching out under the flowers. In a beguiling version of love at first sight, Bloom spies a butterfly, the only blue object seen in a book that features pink font, pink pigs and pink flowers. A flying flower! she gasps, and then bats her eyes at it. After fluttering nearby and wresting a profession of love from Bloom, the butterfly departs, leaving a heartbroken heroine. Van Lieshout's deft use of line comes through in Bloom's distressed dismay, a cross between toddler meltdown and Juliet, which is happily cut short by the attentions of Bloom's faithful swine swain. This paper-over-board book's stylish design and small square format designate it as a natural for Valentine's Day. All ages. (Jan.) |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Bloom! is one of those rare children's books that works on so many levels that adults are bound to love it, too. Maria van Lieshout has created an adorable and enduring character in Bloom, the little pig who doesn't see love when it is right in front of her snout.
Children will love this book for the simple, elegant art work and will identify with the raw emotions the main character experiences when she wants something just out of her reach. Adults will love it for the universal nature of its theme (after all, do we ever stop looking for love in all the wrong places?) and its perfect resolution of this porcine romance.
Bloom is a perfect gift for the child you love or the love of your life.
(And a clever alternative to chocolates on Valentine's Day.)
It's dangerous to predict what book will become a classic, but this just might be one! |
