Overview / 简介: |
| Dexter Bexley has bumped square into a Big Blue Beastie. A bored Big Blue Beastie that ponders eating Dexter Bexley right up just for fun. Thinking quickly, Dexter suggests a much better idea. He and the Big Blue Beastie go into business together. No matter how many adventures Dexter can think up to distract him, the Big Blue Beastie continually finds himself bored and hungry. It seems that this might finally be the end for Dexter Bexley ... or is it? Joel Stewart spins a darkly comic yet ultimately reassuring tale about friendship. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2—This British import is original, funny, and endearing. Dexter Bexley rides his scooter into a hungry Big Blue Beastie who thinks about eating him up. The boy appeases the monster numerous times with engrossing activities such as delivering flowers, solving crimes, and eating a Beastie-size sundae. When Dexter runs out of distractions and expects to be devoured, Beastie introduces his own surprises. Besides being a delightful read-aloud with abundant alliteration and repetition, the story celebrates the beauty of friendship. The boldly colored, humorous, sometimes spare illustrations are perfect for the straightforward text. The book design adds to the appeal with backgrounds of assorted colors. Pair this with Mo Willems's Leonardo, the Terrible Monster (Hyperion, 2005) for a lively storytime about monsters and friendship.—Barbara Katz, Parish Episcopal School, Dallas, TX

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| There are relatively few childrens books that are a joy after the twentieth reading, and the third reading in a given evening.
Dexter Bexley is one of them. The artwork is fresh and original while the the plot is sophisticated and entertaining. It's a joy to read something which doesn't limit itself to a first grade vocabulary (What's the last children's book you read which used the words "Marmoset" or "Archnemesis?" Overall it takes between 5-10 minutes to read, perfect for bedtime.
I don't give many children's books 5 stars, but this deserves six!!!
Other five star books include "Princess and the Pizza," "The Napping House," "Click,Clack, Moo" and "Pinkilicious"
