| Kindergarten-Grade 2-When Gilbert the opossum takes on the part of George Washington in a play about the cherry tree, he is determined to do a good job. "I cannot tell a lie," he practices continuously, but his mother explains, "Sometimes it's better to say nothing than to hurt people's feelings." And when he borrows the hat from his costume to practice at home and forgets to bring it back, he is quick to blurt out, "I didn't take it!" only to be caught in the lie. DeGroat creatively weaves a story around truth and lies and accompanies it with bright colorful illustrations of the animals that make up Gilbert's class. This entertaining tale provides good discussion material and should be a winner at storytime.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| All of Diane de Groat's books in the Gilbert are enjoyable to read, but this is one of the stellar ones. As always, the illustrations are wonderful with lots of interesting details it them, and they add wonderfully to the story. Often children's books that intend to teach a lesson can be very heavy handed, but this one is not. Yes, Gilbert learns that lying is bad, and learns that always speaking the full truth isn't always a good thing (sometimes it's better to keep quiet), but you aren't bashed over the head with it again and again. It makes the point nicely and then keeps moving on, interspersed with humor and good entertainment.
My child aged 4.75 *loves* this book and asked me to read it multiple times a day during it's first week in the house, including twice in a row at bed time. (A very high endorsement from her!) This is the type of well done book that I truly enjoy reading over and over again, too. (So many children's books can be a real chore to read multiple times.) The story is charming, interesting, sweet and believable, without being patronizing, condescending or smarmy.
For other people just starting into the Gilbert series, I especially recommend the Halloween one (my personal favorite), the birthday one and the Easter one. Unfortunately, some of the older ones are getting harder to fine, but fortunately the author is still writing new ones. Hurrah, for good books! |
