Overview / 简介: |
Babs and her kitten are crossing the road and all traffic comes to a halt! Fire trucks can't get through, the school bus, much to the delight of its passengers, is stopped dead, commuters are late for their trains, groceries are spoiling, and everyone is fuming. All the people stuck in cars, trucks, buses, and on motorcycles have something to say about the long delay. Unfold the special pages and see just how big and tiresome a traffic jam can be. Fold the pages back and the cars, trucks, and buses are on their way again. This clever book is filled with bright colors, silly characters, and cute, curious kittens and delightful details to pour over again and again. Kids will be happy to sit still for this traffic jam! |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
The centerpiece of this book is a fold-out, six-panel cartoon image of stopped traffic, with dialogue bubbles providing the thoughts of frustrated passengers. The merest suggestion of a narrative sets up and issues from this image. While mother cat Babs is busy talking with her friends, her kitten wanders into a manhole and is summarily fished out by a man working inside it. A police officer then stops traffic so Babs can carry the truant kitten home. Chwast (Mr. Merlin and the Turtle) exhibits an ear for dialogue and a sense of humor in the time-lapse scenes of the traffic jam, which appear as readers peel away each section of the giant fold-out illustration of the jammed intersection. A dog thinks, "Somebody better walk me soon or I'll wet the seat" as its owner glares from the driver's side; three clowns complain, "Josh's birthday party will start without us"; the firefighters worry about getting to their destination before the house burns down. The last page returns to the smaller world of the cats, as Babs stops to gossip and her kitten wanders off again. The variety of people in the central tableauAthe bikers, farmers, wedding guests, ambulance, race car driverAmay well give kids something to think about the next time they are stuck in traffic. Ages 4-8. (Sept.)
