From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grades 1-4--Inspired by the work of the French Rococo artist Jean-Honor‚ Fragonard and by French decorative wallpapers, Light created patterned papers onto which he collaged the main illustrations for this story. The results are bright, busy, cheery spreads that suit his lighthearted retelling. Sinuous swirls and curves abound. Puss, here a clever female feline with a body rendered in striped fabric, is adorned in stylish black boots that reach up to her thighs and a waistcoat that, while a bit worn and stained, resembles elaborate red French-provincial fabric. The king, in royal purple with fleur-de-lis decoration, is ever smiling as his daughter demurely looks on in her pale peach dress and skyscraper hairdo. The text, which appears in large type below each spread, is relatively brief and humorous. When the king compliments the miller's son on his property, the young man replies, "It is surprisingly productive, sire." The ogre answers Puss's praise of his castle with, "It's simple, but it's home." Some scary elements have been toned down as well. Puss enlists the peasants' help in her scheme by offering reward rather than punishment, and the ogre is amazingly polite-a fact that does not, however, save him from being devoured in the end. This enjoyable retelling would be a welcome addition to folktale collections.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Both my kindergartner and I love fairy tales and folk tales. We saw this title at our local library and promptly checked it out. The story is a retelling of the classic tale of Puss in Boots, written and illustrated by Steve Light. The pages open to reveal vivid and bold collage art with the text of the story displayed at the bottom of each page. The retelling is quite faithful to the original, but the highlight of this book is the wonderful, eye-catching illustrations which had my kindergartner falling in love with the adorable puss! We will definitely be checking out more titles by this author/illustrator. |
