| Moving is an adventure!

Overview / 简介: |
| Moving is scary, but not if you turn it into an adventure! A little boy and his littler brother pretend their journey to a new home is a trip to Mars. They build a rocket ship, equipped with buttons and knobs, and bid farewell to their familiar surroundings. Of course, when you visit a new planet, don't be surprised if you run into Martians! . . . How will our brave astronauts deal with the stranger in their midst? |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Gr–Smith and Freeman, who previously collaborated on A Wild Cowboy (Hyperion, 2004), have created another tale that celebrates the power of imagination. After arriving at their destination on moving day, a boy and his younger sibling turn an empty box into a rocket ship and pretend to blast off. The story begins, "I am a boy, a brave spaceboy/I dream of exploring the stars/I'm fixin' up my rocket/so I can zoom to Mars." Together, they face the unknowns of a new place with the courage of astronauts embarking on a voyage to a new planet. Smith's rhythmic language contributes spirited movement to a tale that explores the ambivalent feelings that many children experience during relocation. Freeman's use of bold colors and textures, softened by the rounded shapes of the characters and background objects, adds a vibrant and warm dimension to the text. The illustrations show a mother and daughter arriving at the door with a pie, and the girl, at first shy, is gradually drawn into the game of pretend. By story's end, the young narrator has made a new friend. Featuring an Asian mother and an African-American father, the artwork depicts a diverse family. The harmony between the narrative and the artwork results in a delightful and enchanting book.–Rebecca Sheridan, Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Smith and Freeman's tale of a valiant spaceboy is witty and adequate for all ages. With just a glance at the text, one would assume that this youthful boy is roaming through space. Yet there is a deeper implication as. Moving day turns in to a magnificent voyage to Mars in a spaceship, in the full space attire, but his ship is a cardboard box and his helmet a metal strainer. When they arrive on Mars they discover an Alien on the red planet, a little girl in green on a red sofa. The pictures are so vibrant giving the readers a warm feeling. This extraordinary tale of make-believe is perfect for any child and for the child in all of the grown-ups too. |
