Overview / 简介: |
Mikele loves ribbons, and today she sees them everywhere -- in the sunshine, the flowers, even the streamers of a wind sock. The bright, sparkly images remind her of something special, a surprise she has for her papa on this not so ordinary day. But through breakfast, chores, and a tea party on the porch, Mikele never guesses that Papa has a surprise for her too!
This portrait of a special day shared by father and daughter is perfectly captured by Terri Cohlene's playful text and the warm, fanciful illustrations by Elizabeth Sayles.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2-Mikele spends the day doing chores with her father, thinking all the while about the special surprise she has in store for him. As they work together, the child sees many things that remind her of ribbons, and each one is described with a repeated refrain that uses a different adjective. There is a chain made from purple clover ("Like ribbons, she thought, flowery ribbons"), the water from the hose ("squiggly ribbons"), and the steam from boiling water ("twirly ribbons"). As the book ends, readers discover that it's Father's Day, and Mikele's present is a "big purple ribbon with a badge that read MY PAPA." Now children will understand why these images were dancing in the girl's head. Papa also has a gift for his daughter ("If it weren't for you, Mikele, how could I even be a papa?")-a box of colorful satin ribbons. Here, the story's focus moves away from the special relationship between father and daughter and gets mired in heavy-handed imagery and trite dialogue. Still, the book's heartwarming sentiments may appeal to some audiences. The pastel illustrations are joyful and warm, with a smooth and soothing flow of color and action, and help to sustain the mood.
