From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Kindergarten-Grade 2-First published in 1983, this book has new illustrations but retains the message of the original-that sometimes one's first inspiration is the best. Asked to submit a painting for an art show, Sara experiences "artist's block" and becomes overwhelmed by vast possibilities and the eager advice of her family. Perhaps painting the entire universe on a single sheet of paper is not such an easy plan of action. Procrastination creates greater obstacles; eating two butter-and-jelly sandwiches, three chocolate-covered graham crackers, and a pretzel makes a nice diversion, but doesn't complete an original masterpiece. The need for independence in personal decisions and creativity comes across loud and clear as Sara's mother reminds her to "begin at the beginning...the universe is only people like you and me…." Appropriately simple pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations frame Sara's world. This gentle, supportive message for young art students or weekend doodlers is suitable for all libraries.-Mary Elam, Forman Elementary School, Plano, TX
