| PreSchool-Grade 2—A bedtime conversation turns into a tall tale as a boy tests his father's devotion with a series of death-defying imaginary deeds. It all begins when he asks, "Daddy, if I got taken by pirates, would you save me?" His father would, of course. He would also swim through shark-infested waters, brave a jungle full of tigers, and even save his son from the robot gorilla Martian pirates that the original pirates later become. In the end, the boy gives his tired and bedraggled dad a drink of juice and patches up his imaginary battle wounds, adding a touching new dimension to an old formula. Like a macho version of Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny (HarperCollins, 1942), this book employs exaggeration and humor to explore the perennial picture-book theme of parental love. It breaks new ground, however, by depicting both sides of the parent-child relationship. The irresistible cartoon illustrations are full of sly details, like the two eye patches on the three-eyed robot gorilla Martian pirate. Rex has created a surefire bedtime hit for children (and parents) of either gender.—Rachael Vilmar, Atlanta Fulton Public Library, GA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is the latest from Michael Rex and he hits it WAY out of the park. This book taps into what little boys and girls think: their fantasies, their fears, their admiration of their fathers and their need for security mixed with a desire for danger.
I bought this for my 4-year-old son and he makes me read it every night! This is the only book he has ever carried around from room to room.
My son, at least, really thinks like the little boy in the book. As a father, I will oblige him for now. I don't think this book is exclusively for boys either.
The artwork is entertaining and colorful.
I highly recommend you buy this book for the Daddy nearest you.
By the way, I NEVER give 5 stars to anything. This is one deserves it. |
