PreSchool-Grade 3-Life is lovely for all the sheep that play in the lush, green meadow under clear, blue skies except for Marvin: "I can't run as fast or jump as high as the other sheep-. I'm too small, it's not fair." So with dreams of becoming just a little bigger, he begins to eat more-and to grow. The problem is that he doesn't know when to quit, and his out-of-control behavior drives him to devour everything in sight, including, ultimately, the world. Together with comical, bold illustrations, the spare, repetitive text tells a cautionary tale about self-acceptance. Each full-color spread provides ample space for the cavorting, puffed-up sheep, whose expressive faces reflect the increasing peril of Marvin's self-centered romp. In the tradition of "The Fat Cat," the story is predictable with a satisfying, if slightly far-fetched, conclusion. A delightful choice for storytimes, with enough hilarity to pull in older children. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
I checked out 'Marvin Wanted More' from our community library because of the appealing illustrations. But this is far more than just a pretty looking children's book. This is a book about a sheep who compares himself to others, and is filled with envy and greed. In an attempt to be as 'good' as the others, he eats everything he can find. More, and more, and more, Marvin wanted more! Until finally he eats the whole world. But don't worry, Marvin learns his lesson. And so now I am purchasing this book because it is an important lesson for sheep, and children (and this mommy) to rememeber. Trust me, you want this in your collection :) |
