From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 3-Some picture books are object lessons for various ways to behave or interact while others are vehicles for celebrities or even animated characters to market themselves, and still others are unabashed advertisements for causes or organizations. This book fits the last category. The author is cochair of America's Promise, an organization pledged to support America's youth by persuading other organizations and communities to help fulfill five so-called promises to children. This story is based on these five elements. Momma, Honey, and Benji Bear visit various neighborhood places to illustrate each one. First, they go to the day-care center where readers learn that America promises "Every child will have a caring adult in their life." Then it's off to the store, where they are told that America promises "All children will learn skills that will help them to make a living." This continues throughout the book as the rest of the "promises"-safe places to learn in and play, healthy food and medical care, and opportunities to give back to the community-are plugged into the story. Who exactly will deliver on these promises is also never addressed or explained. Serviceable watercolors of the bears and other animals, along with many subliminal messages, accompany the text. The plot, however, is secondary to the message, delivered loudly and clearly on each page. While these ideas and ideals may be admirable, and ones we all wish for all children, they are not the components of a good story. |
