Overview / 简介: |
| Owen McPhee doesn't just like to talk, he LOVES to talk. He spends every waking minute chattering away at his teachers, his classmates, his parents, his dog, and even himself. But all that talking can get in the way of listening. And when Owen wakes up with a bad case of laryngitis, it gives him a much-needed opportunity to hear what others have to say. |

| Thought-provoking . . . An accessible addition to libraries that may function as a springboard for a discussion on positive communication and the importance of listening." |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Owen McPhee loves to talk. In fact, he loves to talk so much that he doesn't listen to his teachers or his friends. This leads to problems when he doesn't follow instructions and messes up not only his own science project but another group's project as well. His friends get annoyed with him when he interrupts their conversation with his own opinion. But he doesn't understand how the others feel until he wakes up one morning unable to speak and has to resort to writing things down to communicate. As he deals with the frustration of trying to communicate when others aren't paying attention to his notes, he comes to realize the importance of listening to others. Not that he changes entirely, just that he is more aware of the value of listening. I loved the power of the idea of self-discovery here. Despite his teachers and classmates both telling Owen he needs to listen, it isn't until he discovers for himself the value of listening that his behavior starts to change. The speech bubbles included by the illustrator make a great visual representation of Owen's chatter. This is an important idea for me as a teacher. I plan to use this book with my second or third graders to introduce the importance of listening. |
