Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| "Day by Day" is endearing and buoyant. Every detail in the richly illustrated scenes is lovingly considered, and nuances emerge- rewarding viewing after viewing. The story about truly belonging, in the heart of a family that ventures forth together, is so reassuring; we should all be so lucky. Each of the pigs become familiar individuals: grandpa, parents, sisters and brothers, wearing dapper `30s or `40s style clothes and hats, and a cheeky pet goose who's always up to something. Long held pig tradition may explain why they build their house of BRICK. They arrange family photos and pig kids' drawings on the wallpapered rooms with flowered sofas and rugs, and industriously plant a vegetable garden that grows "inch by inch". The piglets may end their day reading Charlotte's Web by lamplight, or yawn, rubbing their eyes, after a party with dance and music played on a Swineway piano.
I was delighted by Gal's exuberant palette of color, textures and patterns, her use of light as our pigs are silhouetted in shadow against a bright window, or the contrast of vividly colored plants and bugs against the dark loam of the garden. She captures winsome gesture and attitude in every pig, bird, bug, pert hat, and dandelion puff. Even the sun and the harvest moon glow like beaming guardians over their charges. Every posture rings true, like a "baby" held aloft, a bit unsure of his cooing neighbor;"kids" playing kick the can or "mom's" affectionate smile tucking in the little ones.
