Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book got me interested in cursive handwriting when I was in the first and second grade. I was in a classroom mixed with first and second graders. Everyday for writing, the grade 1's would practice printing and the 2nd graders would practice handwriting, which looked very hard and I dreaded second grade. But when I reached transferred to another school in second grade, the teacher read Muggie Maggie to the class and just in time too. I also liked looking at the cursive writing included in the story and found it to be rather beautiful, and slowly I began to learn it once we started, and soon enough, I was able to master it. In Maggie's case, she felt as if she didn't need to learn how to do it because she preffered writing notes on the computer, and at the same time, she felt as though cursive challenged her gifted and talent capabilities, but would not admit it. The school did the "write" thing by having her be the class monitor and deliver messages to the principal written in cursive writing, and when she was curious to see what the notes said she realized she couldn't read cursive writing, and sure enough, she got the hang of it and practiced it secretly, and all was well at the end. But this book also has a lot of humor and captures the essence of the characters in this book. Beverly Cleary is like a child at heart and has a great understanding of putting herself in children's shoes, and that's why she has written great story books that are still being read by today's generation, whether it's Henry Huggins or Ellen Tebbits books that came out almost 50 years ago or all of our favourite character Ramona's books that have lasted for what seems like forever. I hope to read another book from Maggie in the future if Cleary continues writing.
