From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Gr 1-3-This collection of 38 amusing poems is somewhat uneven. Whitehead's strong points are her gift for point of view and a facility for the rhythms and sounds of words. "The Bug Hotel," written in the voice of an insect talking to a desk clerk at a hotel, is fun and original. An illustration depicts a big glass jar with various creatures lounging inside: "Our room is kind of stuffy,/we could use a little air-/would you be so kind and tap/a hole or two up there?" The author's child's-eye view is often right on target ("What could be slower/than turtles and snails?/Waiting for birthdays,/and popcorn to pop"). However in other poems, clich‚s creep in ("In the garden,/every spring,/the sparrows chirp,/the bluebirds sing"). The gouache-and-acrylic cartoon paintings are in soft colors and while appealing, don't have much more depth than a greeting card. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book is a treasure- I've given copies to all my friends who are moms. The kids just love it, and ask me to read it again and again. Of course, they know their favorites by heart.... how can you resist a poem about Rutabaga?
The variety of the poems and the delightful (and funny) childhood adventures/experiences each relates are just as enjoyable for parents to read as they are for children to hear. The illustrations are charming and full of thoughtful details for little eyes to find. This is our favorite family book- I can't wait for her next one! |
