From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| K Up-- A picture book that uses the patterns and rhymes of the traditional ``House That Jack Built,'' this tells of the despairing trail of crack/cocaine from the cultivation of ``. . . the plants that people can't eat,'' to the addicted mother and baby, the overworked cop, and the other victims and villains of the inner-city drug trade. The handsome, somber modernist paintings echo Picasso's earliest proto-Cubist work, and will appeal to an older age group, although the strong line, touches of bright color, and representational style do make them accessible to younger children. It will work best for any age when introduced by an adult and used as the basis for serious discussion. An afterword for adults by PBS activist Michael Pritchard and a brief list of national organizations working in addiction services are appended. This is a unique book, disturbing but valuable. The challenge will be where to shelve it and how to introduce it. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| We already know that crack is bad for us. Do we really think about how many people are affected by the drug? Who really benefits? The stark reality of the pain caused by crack is depicted in this simple style reminiscent of The House That Jack Built. The book is thought provoking. The sing-song repetition helps the reader see the progression of pain. This is a great book for beginning a discussion on drugs and their effects on society. |
