Overview / 简介: |
Why'd I get the smaller half? Why don't you yell at her? Why does my team always lose? Why can't we have a pet giraffe? Because that's life.
And life can't always go the way we want it to. But with this delightful and witty book, Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld reassure us that everyone, including pigs, planets, and square pegs, sometimes thinks: It's not fair!

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Rosenthal and Lichtenheld, who first collaborated on The OK Book (2007), offer a sensitive, funny look at life’s injustices. On each spread, the diverse young characters air their frustrations: “Why’d I get the smaller half?” “Why now, chicken pox?” Not all of the speakers are kids. There is a three-legged stool that wonders why the neighboring chair gets “an extra leg,” and in a clever conclusion, a book wonders why the story has to end. The rhyming text and singsong rhythm add levity to the litany of complaints, while the colorful, cartoon-style pictures expressively convey the characters’ emotions, from envy to disappointment to wistfulness. A few moments may resonate more with adults, such as in books’ endpapers, which resemble a legal document outlining a lawsuit between siblings over a cookie that’s not divided as promised. Children will welcome the familiar, farcical scenarios, though, and the absence of saccharine sentiments. A good choice for starting discussions about empathy and perspective, this will reassure children that everyone experiences feelings of unfairness. Preschool-Grade 3. --Shelle Rosenfeld |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book sends my 7-year-old and 3-year-old into giggle fits. Every kid has to deal with this feeling at some point. Some unfairnesses could be made right (like the unevenly split cookie at the beginning of the book) and some are just how life is (like the pig wishing it had wings). This book shows, rather than tells, how silly the "It's not fair" lament can get. It also shows that everyone gets a turn at being on the winning and losing end of "it's not fair." |
