Overview / 简介: |
Prelutsky brings his sly, slapstick verse to the classroom in this picture-book collection of school poems. Some of the selections are pure fantasy, such as the poem about a science experiment gone "totally berserk." Other, more realistic poems capture a young student's worries (homework, gym class) and earnest excitement. There are gleeful selections sure to provoke instantaneous giggles: "I Made a Noise This Morning," about farting in class, ends with the speaker's sheepish pride in his "little work of art." Prelutsky plays for more laughs by leaving gaps between the words, and the bouncy rhythms in the rhyming couplets extend the playful mood. Kids will see themselves in Cushman's bright cartoon illustrations featuring a young cat in overalls and other animal elementary students, and the active scenes extend the jokes and images in the words. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Kindergarten-Grade 3–Cushman has interpreted Prelutsky's school-aged protagonist as a cat. The feline's journal contains 17 poems about everyday joys and predicaments: the ups and (mostly) downs of completing homework and assignments, overloaded backpacks, the sweet sounds of music class, invigorating author visits, gym partners, and cafeteria food fights. Lively and fun, with perfect meter and an abundance of interesting word choices, these poems beg to be read aloud. And they will be. Cushman has created an appealing school environment with a variety of colorful cartoon animal characters that are happily compatible with Prelutsky's silly and energetic verse. Of particular fun is the math teacher, a lion who bears more than a vague resemblance to a famous mathematician in his E=mC² sweatshirt. In addition to being a popular choice for poetry-loving young readers, this school-themed collection is certain to make continual rounds among early elementary teachers for use in the classroom.–Carol L. MacKay, Forestburg School Library, Alberta, Canada

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
My daughter received this book as a gift for her 6th birthday, and in the 4 weeks since then, we have read it almost daily. Every time, she seems to find the poems every bit as funny as she did the first time we read it. There aren't many books that I can say I haven't gotten tired of reading to her, but this is one of the few. It's become our new favorite read-aloud book, and I definitely plan to look for more by Jack Prelutsky. |
