PreS-Gr 1--Virgil, a penguin, and Owen, a polar bear, are best friends who do everything together. Owen loves math, writing his name, storytime, and lunch, but Virgil is always rushing him to finish these things. Owen gets so frustrated that he roars at Virgil, sending him flying into a pile of snow. The pals gently apologize to each other. The pen, watercolor, and gouache illustrations work nicely for the Arctic setting and are pleasing in their detail, color scheme, and expressiveness. Owen learns that he should tell Virgil if he is upset, and Virgil learns that he needs to be more considerate of Owen's feelings. This charming selection teaches kids that sometimes it takes a little bit of compromise to make a friendship work. VERDICT A good pick for storytimes, and a sweet general purchase for most collections. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Wonderfully illustrated story of friendship and its ups and downs. Sometimes we annoy our friends, sometimes we don't take their needs into consideration and sometimes we get angry with our friends but, a little forgiveness goes a long way. This story depicts the complexity of friendship in a simple and entertaining manner that children can relate to and will want to read again and again. And Virgil and Owen are adorable. |
