Overview / 简介: |
It’s raining, it’s pouring, and Nell is bored, bored, bored. She has no one to play with and nothing to do! But with the help of some crayons – and a vivid imagination – Nell conjures up the perfect friend to spice up a dull day.
In this fanciful tale full of old-fashioned storybook charm, Nell and her very own elf beat the rainy-day blues by throwing an elf party, complete with fantastic magical guests, plenty of singing and dancing, and feasting on chocolate chips right out of the bag.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kindergarten-Grade 2-A little girl's imagination allows her to overcome the boredom of a rainy day and bring her dreams to life. Nell wishes that she had someone to play with. She draws an elf who comes to life and says, There is no excuse for being bored. He convinces her to create a party full of little elf friends and they sing and dance and eat chocolate chips. The beige and golden tones used in many of the colored pencil, pastel, and gouache illustrations give them the feeling of a time gone by. The red-and-white polk-dotted endpapers introduce a pattern that is carried throughout the book, from tables and toadstools to Nell's jacket and pointed elfin hats. Not a must-buy title, but a nice choice for quiet sharing with a child who loves to live in the imagination.-Genevieve Gallagher, Murray Elementary School, Charlottesville, VA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Very cute story about a little girl who is bored inside on a rainy day and wishes she had a playmate. She draws a picture of an elf and he comes to life and the fun begins. I read this to my son who is almost three and he really likes the story. The only problem I have is in the beginning the girl uses the words "dumb" and "boring" which are some negative words I was trying to keep from my son for as long as possible. Aside from that, the rest of the book is very appropriate and the illustrations are gorgeous in a vintage style almost. |
