Overview / 简介: |
Based on the diaries of Lucky Hart, who lived in the 1800s, this zany adventure is an exciting page turner. The detailed illustrations feel like a step back into time. Scientists searching unsuccessfully for rare animal and plant specimens decide to kidnap a rare pet wild pig when the owner refused to sell it. They bring it to a museum to stuff and display it, but luckily Lucky Hart and his friends rescue it just in the nick of time. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Determined not to return home empty-handed, three bumbling "Men of Science" steal a wild pig from Cobtown in 1845, intending to stuff and display him in the Ploomajiggy Museum of Animal History. With the help of Fliberty Jibbert and Lucky Hart, the 10-year-old narrator, Oinkey is rescued in the nick of time. The story is preceded by a gratuitous one-page introduction in which a present-day girl and her grandmother retrieve an ancestor's diaries from an attic trunk. Many readers will find this slight story cluttered and overly precious. Busy endpapers are covered with the front pages of the Cobtown Observer and the Ploomajiggy Trumpet and the lengthy text looks like hand-printed journal entries. Scattered illustrations of the different kinds of leaves found in Cobtown further convolute the story. There isn't much plot here, and what little there is does not involve readers. There's a lot to look at, but nothing to remember.
