| Kindergarten-Grade 2-An odd, farfetched story about a blue-bellied toad and a living, breathing, talking peach. The unlikely pair establish a deep, sentimental friendship after Blue assists Peach in falling from her branch. She wants to see the world, but it is she who helps Blue to view his pondside home in a fresh, new way. He propels her around in a leaf-lined bowl made of twigs and mud while she rhapsodizes about the "harvest of colors" that she beholds. Although the text is clear and well written, the story itself is too serious, saccharine, and self-consciously philosophical. Dark, well-composed paintings beautifully depict each stage of the low-key adventure. Blue is portrayed realistically, as are the natural surroundings, while Peach sports a somewhat ghostly face, making her look like a disembodied bald head. There is little here to appeal to children. Kate Spohn's Fanny and Margarita (Viking, 1993) is an overtly whimsical tale about talking fruit that intends to make readers laugh.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I was introduced to this book 4 years ago at an Indiana State Primetime Meeting. The speaker read the book and I was in awe. It touched my heart. It not only is a children's book, but one of the best adult books I have read in a long time. I have given over 20 copies as gifts. Our principal's wife was dying with cancer, and I gave her a copy. "Nothing is forever, but for now I have you and you have me." What beautiful words. My class gave the book to me one year. I am currently writing a grant to use this for a spin-off for a 4-6 week unit. I would love to make costumes for my K-2 class to perform for the other classes and for a PTO meeting. |
