Overview / 简介: |
In a park in New York City lives a lonely little dog. He remembers when he used to get taken for walks, fed dinner every night, and told he was a good dog. Now, he's all alone and must fend for himself. But everything changes one day when he sees a lady reading in the park and decides to follow her—all the way to a place where he might become a star!
With a story by actress Bernadette Peters and mixed-media collage illustrations by Liz Murphy, Broadway Barks is a warm and appealing story of loss, reunion, and nurturing, complete with a happy ending.
This beautiful package includes a jacket with foil touches as well as an exclusive CD featuring a reading of the story and an original song written and sung by Bernadette Peters. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kindergarten-Grade 2—Well, it is what it is: an idealized promotional piece for Broadway Barks, the annual New York City pet adopt-a-thon founded by Peters and Mary Tyler Moore in 1998. Sad little Douglas is abandoned in Central Park, where no one walks him or feeds him or loves him. He is befriended and taken into a smiling and willing driver's yellow cab by a pretty red-haired stranger (Peters) and taken to Shubert Alley, where Moore emcees an adoption pet show/pageant. Obedient and adorable, Douglas meets a little girl, is given a new name, Kramer, and is taken to live happily-ever-after with his new family. Murphy's bright mixed-media cartoon illustrations include snips of measuring tape, telegrams, and pieces of printed matter that become the buildings, trees, and sidewalks of Manhattan. Douglas/Kramer is a cute concoction of gray flannel and a fine mutt of a mascot for this message, which is accompanied by a CD on which Peters reads the story. Royalties will be donated to the cause. An NYC-centric companion for Maribeth Boelt's Before You Were Mine (Putnam, 2007) and Bob Graham's Let's Get a Pup! Said Kate (Candlewick, 2001).—Kathy Krasniewicz, Perrot Library, Old Greenwich, CT

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I found Bernadette's book to be absolutely delightful, from the adorable illustrations by Liz Murphy to the sweet words by Bernadette to the lovely "Kramer's Song". It's an absolutely wonderful bonus that the included CD not only features Bernadette's narration of the book, but also her warm, beautiful voice on "Kramer's Song", a song she penned herself. As soon as I heard that the book would be published, I knew it was a must-have, not only because I am a fan of Bernadette's and a supporter of Broadway Barks, but also because I knew my niece would love it. I love that it educated my niece, a dog owner herself, about homeless dogs and the need to help animals who don't have homes of their own. Brava, Bernadette! |
