Overview / 简介: |
| A love of life and a love of place shine through in Natalie Kinsey- Warnock’s richly imagined prose. Illustrated with Mary Azarian’s beautiful woodcuts, From Dawn till Dusk reveals how chores lead straight to the best kind of fun: night-swimming in the pond, skiing off the barn roof, and finding new gray kittens in the haymow, with their eyes still closed. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| K-Gr. 3. Farm work, hard work. But there is also lots of fun in this remembrance of growing up 40 years ago on a Vermont farm in which Kinsey-Warnock recalls her siblings laughing at her and her love of her life. Who would miss long hot days of haying and bone-chilling days of sugaring maple trees? The author's memories are not idealized as she takes children through the year, explaining how much work is involved during each season on a farm. Mud, snow, and weeds all make work more difficult. In late spring, stones, large and small, stud the fields; each one has to be picked up by hand. Each arduous task is followed by a hearty helping of good times. Hay bales in the barn are for sleeping. After sugaring comes maple syrup and sugar on snow. This pattern of pairing descriptions of farm chores with rewards is effective, and Caldecott Medal-winner Azarian extends the story with effective woodcuts that capture life at its busiest and most fun. Children may be lost at first when it comes to a time frame, but the photographs in the miniscrapbook concluding the text help turn fiction into fact by showing the author and the illustrator, who lived on a farm in Virginia, in their rural milieus.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| An awesome book for children (any anyone who has ever lived or loved Vermont). Kinsey-Warnock's story telling style brings back many fond memories and is enlightening to those who have never lived on a farm (anywhere) or never visted rural Vermont.
Her pros and cons way of reflecting the memories of a child are little lessons that can be applied to any experience in life....every time, every season, every task has a little bit of good memories and also some memories we would like to forget.
Delightful. |
