From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| She's a swan, and he's a duck. She tries to be polite; he's clumsy. But even though they bicker, their friendship is rock-solid. Three short but overwritten sketches are built around misunderstandings or breaches of buddy etiquette that are warmly resolved by the final page; the last, The Garage Sale, in which Violet convinces shoppers not to buy any of Winston's merchandise because each piece is a memento of their friendship, is husband-and-wife team Sones (What My Mother Doesn't Know) and Tramer's funniest, albeit in a Disney Channel kind of way (That mug is... um... cursed! Violet tells a potential purchaser). Caldecott Medalist Raschka's (The Hello, Goodbye Window) watercolor-and-ink pictures bloom with lush, bright colors and dense detail, but as comedic vignettes, they fall short. The soft outlines and pastel-like textures not only blunt the humor but also blur the focus—Violet and Winston seem to disappear into their environments, as if they've been camouflaged. Ages 3–5.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Violet and Winston is such a great read! The three short stories are fun and sweet, and the friendship between the two birdie friends is about as heartwarming as they come. It's wonderful for kids, but adults appreciate the authors' humor as well. The intricate, imaginative illustrations are so engaging for children to explore; each time they look at the pictures, they find something new they haven't noticed before! Definitely a great book for you and your family! |
