| Starred Review. Kindergarten-Grade 2—This gentle, lyrical tale, written in the unusual poetic stanzas of a medieval sestina, recounts a young trick-or-treater's dogged attempts to make her dreams of flight come true. Linoleum block illustrations, in muted shades of green, orange, and brown and thick swathes of black and black line, juxtapose the cozy, rural details of a loving family's hearth and home with the shadowy, spooky outdoor world of jack-o'-lanterns, black cats, and bats under a full moon. The illustrative details ground and extend the story line of this part realistic, part magical tale, making the sophisticated text more accessible to younger listeners. "Hold tight to your broom/and float past the stars,/and turn to the heavens and soar." This is a quieter, more reflective addition to Halloween collections that offers an enchanting storytime read-aloud.—Kathleen Finn, St. Francis Xavier School, Winooski, VT END |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| We own many Halloween books. I bought this one for my daughter because her dream is to fly. Yet it is a story that is about more than witches and flying. It is about following your dreams. As such it can be read by many audiences and any time of the year. Children will follow the story and sympathize with the little witch and be intrigued by the visual details of her cat and little brother. Adults will grasp the subtler theme. The careful language draws and carries the reader. THe layout of the text with the images draws the eye into the picture and into flight. Just beautiful! |
