Overview / 简介: |
| With distinctive illustrations, Hanoch Piven crafts a delightful story of competitive siblings whose attempts to frighten each other-revealed through 8 gatefold pages-are surpassed by their baby brother. Mo and Jo are sweet kids who engage in costumed one-upmanship until they're surprised by a "real" monster who turns out to be the baby, Bo. Piven's unique approach-showing the photographed objects that will be used in the children's disguises on the outside of the gatefold, and revealing the finished face when the fold is opened-brings a sense of excitement to this simple but compelling story for children aged 4 to 8. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2–Piven presents a sibling showdown through his flair for caricatures formed of realia. Cartoon collages Mo and Jo begin with gummy-worm mouths, open Oreo eyes, and licorice hair. They try to outdo one another's magic via mop beards, red-pepper noses, and pizza-slice ears, whereby the pair take turns transforming themselves, with gatefolds revealing a witch, cat, dragon, mouse, etc. Both are soon frightened by a looming shadow yelling Boooooooo that turns out to belong to their pom-pom-haired, marble-eyed baby brother. Neon backdrops and rhyming text intensify the merriment in this treat for fans of the art in Joan Steiner's Look-Alikes books (Little, Brown) or Lois Ehlert's Snowballs (Harcourt, 1995). In an endnote, Piven encourages readers to create their own drawings from objects.–Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA |
