Overview / 简介: |
| Everybody's favorite bookworm birdie is back—and something's wrong! When Calvin reads the word “wagons,“ he sees “dragons” instead, and he's tripping over the library chairs. Calvin needs glasses! When his family checks out the new specs, though, they just tease him. Poor Calvin. But when he gets lost and trapped in the forest, it's Calvin's glasses (and smarts) that save the day. Soon EVERYONE thinks glasses are great—and Calvin's clan becomes the coolest flock of starlings in the sky. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreS-Gr 2—When a young starling gets glasses (or "spectacles," as the exacting birdie prefers to call them), his friends tease him. But Calvin is so excited to finally be able to see small things clearly that he trips and falls in the woods and becomes wedged under a rock. Undaunted, he uses his glasses to reflect sunlight and signal to the other starlings using Morse code, and soon all the other birds want spectacles, too. Though the topic is an underrepresented one and the busy, cartoon illustrations are full of humorous touches, such as the "Bug and Worm Fine Dining" restaurant and a "Nest Supplies" store in the town of Treeville, the characters, from the know-it-all Calvin to the bespectacled librarian with the sensible bob, are blandly stereotypical. |
