Overview / 简介: |
Jeram goes back on location with the characters first introduced in Bunny My Honey for a dulcet sequel that relates how Mommy Rabbit and her little "Honeys"--Bunny, Little Duckling and Miss Mouse--became a family. Played out to the refrain of their favorite song ("We're the little Honeys./ A little Honey is sweet./ Quack quack, squeak squeak,/ Thump your great big feet!"), the story line introduces each member of the trio as their verse and advent into the family is explained. "Quack quack" for instance, is Little Duckling's cue: "Its special meaning is, I'm yellow and fluffy and good at splashing and sploshing." A host of jolly antics follows, including the boisterous "Thump-Your-Great-Big-Feet game." If the territory here has been well-mapped elsewhere, Jeram's subtle emphasis on the idea that families are made, not born ("Even if I don't look like a bunny, Mommy Rabbit's still my mommy just the same") gives the material a fresh spin. Lively language ("squirly-twirly," "itchy-twitchy") and gentle repetition stoke the read-aloud engine, and Jeram's watercolors are as pleasurable as ever. Ages 3-up. |

"We're the little Honeys.
A little Honey is sweet.
Quack quack, squeak squeak,
Thump your great big feet!"
This is the special song, sung "all together now" by the Honeys--Mommy Rabbit, Bunny, Little Duckling, and Miss Mouse. Though Bunny is Mommy Rabbit's natural-born son, Little Duckling and Miss Mouse are taken in as family. This happy, cross-species crew plays "splashy-sploshy" and "itchy-twitchy, swirly-whirly" games. Their favorite activity of all? The "Thump-Your-Great-Big-Feet" game! Youngsters will have plenty of opportunities to sing, squeak, and quack along in this jaunty read-aloud. And, as we'd expect from the illustrator of Guess How Much I Love You and Bunny My Honey, the endearing illustrations would soften the heart of the steeliest of readers. "Families can be complicated," says Jeram. "We all want to belong--sometimes we can do that by celebrating our differences."

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Anita Jeram's "All Together Now" tells the story of the Honeys and how they became a family. The story starts with Mommy Rabbit leading her children in singing their family song. The children all have their own special parts to sing, because each child is different. You see, the "children" are Bunny, Little Duckling and Miss Mouse. Bunny was Mommy Rabbit's first child. One day, Little Duckling hatched from his egg, followed Bunny home and became the second child in the Honey family. Later, Bunny and Little Duckling found Miss Mouse all alone and Mommy Rabbit quickly welcomed her into the family, too.
The bond between all the members of the Honey family is reflected in Jeram's watercolor illustrations. You see them singing together, playing together and sharing loving moments. You see the tenderness and affection Mommy Rabbit feels for each of her little Honeys.
"All Together Now" is a sweet tribute to adopted children and their families. All the little Honeys have their own special qualities, which they celebrate in their family song. All the little Honeys have their own strengths, which they celebrate in their special family games. All the little Honeys look different, but know "Mommy Rabbit's still my mommy just the same." |
