Overview / 简介: |
Grade 1-4?In this sequel to No Dogs Allowed (Farrar, 1992), Cutler presents five, self-contained stories about seemingly routine events in the lives of Jason and his six-year-old brother Edward. The book begins just before the school year starts when the boys go on their annual shopping trip. Very conscious of his fourth-grade image, Jason insists on looking at everything before he makes any decisions. Edward, meanwhile, explores the wig department with hilarious results. The stories continue as Jason attempts to deal with the inexplicable courtship rites initiated by the girls; Edward struggles unsuccessfully with his Halloween fears; the boys run scientifically controlled experiments to prove that they are not really allergic to rats so they can have pets; and they cook up a clever plan to prevent their mother from learning that one of their new sweaters is ruined. What makes these stories so inviting and funny is Cutler's exceptional talent for describing events from the boys' rather literal point of view. The brothers are believable characters whose escapades and lively dialogue ring true. The subject matter and short chapters nicely broken up by Pearson's pen-and-ink illustrations should attract beginning chapter-book readers, but the author's wonderful sense of timing and the cadence and symmetry of her language make this title a natural for reading aloud to an even wider audience.?Maggie McEwen, Coffin Elementary School, Brunswick, ME |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
I think the true measure of a children's book is how much children enjoy it, and mine LOVED this one. There is humor in it appropriate for various ages (both my 4- and 8-year-old laughed constantly). The interaction between the brothers is very believable, and instructive in many ways to my two boys.
I noticed that another reviewer was upset that the book wasn't all about rats; I wasn't actually expecting that.
We all heartily enjoyed "Rats!". I highly recommend it! |
