From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Kindergarten-Grade 2—You might say that Marigold, a young monkey, walks to the beat of a different drummer, or even that she is just plain contrary. In the first of four stories, she resists giving up her worn-out purple coat when her mother wants to replace it. It is only when she finds another one that she gives in, even though the new purple coat doesn't fit her. She wears the old garment to bed. In the following two stories, Marigold playfully teases her friend Maxine, a hippo who has firm ideas on how things should work. In the last story, when the two head off for their first day of school, Maxine has a new outfit and a new hairdo. Marigold pretends that she does, too, but won't take off her old coat or hat. Maxine decides to go home for something she "forgot" and returns wearing a raincoat and cap that she won't take off, either. The obstreperous protagonist is refreshing in her contrariness. The stylized, cartoonlike gouache illustrations add humor and panache to characters that are imbued with personality. Maxine and Marigold are solid proof that opposites attract.—Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Marigold is a sassy little monkey with plenty of attitude and smarts. I enjoyed this book as much as my 6 year old. It's 3 separate but related stories in one book. She tussles with her mother and the saleslady over the choice of a new coat, then she decides to find ways to annoy her ex-best friend, and last, how she handles not being allowed to wear what she wants to school. |
