Kindergarten-Grade 2—Betsy B. Little is an unusually tall giraffe, even taller than her parents, and wherever she goes she attracts attention. Riding the school bus, she has to stick her head out of the window and then duck under telephone wires. Jumping rope ties her in knots. And when she goes to bed, her body is too long for the mattress. Betsy dreams of becoming a ballerina, but when she takes lessons, her head bumps against the ceiling and her crashes rattle the other dancers. In the end, however, the giraffe finds a place where she can pirouette with grace and abandon. Betsy is an inspiration for all the gawky ballerinas and too-tall kids no one wants to sit behind. Her temperament remains cheerful and determined when she is presented with physical obstacles. The rhyming text is fairly smooth and has a satisfying ending: "The whole town applauds her/For coming so far/And finding her own way/Of reaching her star." Watercolor illustrations show Betsy's uniqueness and awkwardness with sympathy and wit. No matter her circumstances, she is depicted as an appealing, friendly character with whom readers can identify.—Mary Hazelton, Elementary Schools in Warren & Waldoboro, ME

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Betsy B. Little is the tale of a tall giraffe who simply doesn't fit in. But rather than wish she were different, she learns to dream bigger --what a wonderful lesson for children in this world of conformity, cliques, "mean girls," and bullies!
Through delightful language and beautiful illustration, this book celebrates individuality, resilience, perserverance, and creativity. I can't imagine a child who won't take this book to heart and carry its lesson into adulthood. |
