| Grade 3–5—When Digby complains about a lengthy homework assignment, Mr. Crumbundle promptly tacks on an additional 10 pages for him. On his way home, the boy is snatched up by a gigantic repulsive raptor, swallowed by an anaconda, and tossed around by a playful gorilla. Each time he finds himself in danger, Digby finds the solution to his problem in his seemingly bottomless backpack. Riding on the back of a rogue elephant, he eventually arrives at the Oval Office, where his homework is officially canceled by presidential order. Schertle's over-the-top text and zany situations will appeal to children who enjoy the similarly frenetically paced adventures in Jon Scieszka's "Time Warp Trio" series (Viking). Renier's colorful cartoon art lends a graphic feel to the offering. Numerous text balloons supplement the narrative, and the action is displayed in boxes with varying directionality throughout. Far too much is happening to make this suitable for group presentation, but it will certainly find its audience.—Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ END |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| The story in this book is a little thin. This, however, works well for certain age kids, since there is less to read. When I first read it I didn't even notice the kind of weak text, I was so enthralled and in love with the illustrations. The illustrations are really what makes this such an excellent book. Aaron Renier's illustration are so wondrous, each page filled with so many things to look at without being overwhelming. Renier's artwork is filled with many stories itself, but then also illustrate the story by Alice Shertle. The result is a muti-layer book that seems deceptively simple at first, but because of the engaging artwork keeps your attention.
I watched a friend read this book to his 4 year old daughter. It was while just listening to it that I realized how the story, the text itself is a little weak, but she sat there quiet and still and looking carefully at each page. I liked the idea that this is the kind of book she can "read" on her own. The full page, full color pages are entertaining on their own. I hope to find more books illustrated by Aaron Renier. |
