Overview / 简介: |
Daniel is the bravest boy of all!
Daniel isn't afraid of spiders. He isn't afraid of snakes. He isn't even afraid of thunderstorms. And no matter what his sister says, he's certainly not afraid of dogs -- he just doesn't like them. But there's no avoiding them when he comes home and his mother is babysitting his aunt's dog.
Susanna Pitzer's humorous look into the nature of courage, fear, and friendship has a touching outcome for both the brave and the frail of heart, with expressive illustrations by Larry Day.

| Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 3–Daniel is the bravest boy in the world, able to face spiders, snakes, and thunderstorms...but he just doesn't like dogs. When his aunt goes on vacation and leaves her pet, Bandit, with his family, he stays in his room and refuses to come out. Later that night, he needs to use the bathroom and is startled by Bandit, who has been frightened by a thunderstorm and is cowering behind the toilet. Daniel's anxiety slowly turns to astonishment as he realizes that he can comfort the pup–and that he does like dogs after all. The boy's connection to Bandit rings absolutely true, as does his insistence on his lack of fear. Day's hilarious illustrations, done in pen and ink with watercolor and gouache, show the truth behind his bluster, starting with the comical cover picture of Daniel climbing a lamppost to avoid a group of passing canines. Text and pictures work on every level, and readers will remember Daniel and Bandit long after they put the book down.–Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book is a wonderful choice for kids who are afraid of dogs, those who have other fears, or just those looking for a good read. I've used it in K-3 storytime and found it effective on many different levels. The story is engaging, the characters are believable, and the ending satisfies. In addition to dealing with the nature of courage, it can spark discussions on both sibling and animal relationships and can easily lend itself to a lesson on how to approach strange dogs! Children are instantly entranced and you may expect collective gasps when Daniel and Bandit wind up locked in the bathroom together. A very satisfying picture book that children of all ages will love! |
