From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Curiosity stops just short of being deadly in this adaptation of the Kipling classic. "In the High and Far-Off Times" when elephants sported short, "bulgy" noses, a young pachyderm full of "satiable curiosity" sets off to discover what crocodiles eat for dinner. After a rousing tug-of-war with the Crocodile himself, the Elephant's Child walks away with a new and improved (and quite sore) elongated trunk. Bolam's well-paced version of the tale is sure to perk up the ears of inquisitive listeners. Unfortunately, the text's understated action and gentle humor are overshadowed by random violence--the other animals spank the Elephant's Child whenever he asks a question, and the Elephant Child's new trunk is eventually used to spank them back. Bolam's bright, primitive paintings boldly contrast with airy white backgrounds, and the jungle animals' childlike facial expressions are particularly engaging. Ultimately, though, Kipling's writings remain too sophisticated for the picture book set. Ages 5-up.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is a great little sleeper. Jack Nicholson narrates and Bobby McFerrin does the sound and music. "The Elephant's Child" is an adaptation of a Rudyard Kipling tale about an "insatiably curious" child (baby elephant) who wanders in search of answers. It's wonderful!!! and clearly a labor of love by Nicholoson and McFerrin, who did it for their children. The story is really older than Kipling; many cultures have a similar folk tale to illustrate to their young how we can grow by asking questions and by making mistakes. Jack deserves an Oscar for this! I buy it for all my friends, no matter what age. |
