| Kindergarten-Grade 3–Harvey, last seen in Dog Show (Holt, 2004) is hip and energetic. Unfortunately, he tends to get a little carried away. When the Mayor of Bonesport asks him to be parade chairman for the town's 250th birthday celebration, Harvey starts his ever-growing pile of lists. He loves parades, but his basset hound, Fred, hates them. Every time he tries to include his pup in the festivities, Fred declines. Winthrop's tale of how the whole town celebrates is fun and quirky, with lots of humor. Of course, Fred ends up playing an important role, one that suits him perfectly. The acrylic paintings almost resemble photographs in their detail, and Fred's expressions are priceless. Readers will pore over the crowd illustrations, laughing at all of the antics. While the book is funny, it also helps young readers realize that teamwork doesn't always mean doing the same thing as everyone else.–Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Supposedly the stars of this book, Fred and Harvey, made their debut in another book titled Dog Show. I haven't read Dog Show, or any other book with Fred and Harvey in it. But this book was interesting. I can't say that I loved it. But I'm sure it is one that a little kid will enjoy having read to him or her time and time again. The illustrations were well done, but their style was just not my cup of tea.
The story is about a dog owner (Harvey) and his dog (Fred) that live in a town called Bonesport. The Mayor of Bonesport solicits help from Harvey to organize a big parade for the town, and Harvey agrees to help. Of course, not only Harvey did the planning - Fred helped him quite a bit.
I would have liked the book better if more of the pictures were more involved than just a close-up of Fred shaking his head or Fred chewing on a bone. One illustration reminded me of an old Clint Eastwood movie that was shot in a fake town that looked like a fake town. And there were characters mentioned in the text that we never saw pictures of. Saying this, I think there could have been better coordination between the author and the illustrator in putting this book together. 4 stars! |
