Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. 46 months - A halloween read (or anytime) but also a story about how being different makes us unique and interesting and taking that away makes a person (or witch) boring and unhappy. Be who you are. Rhyming. ( ) Funny book filled with many surprises. I like this book because the author's purpose is both meaningful and humorous. The message of this book is to accept others, even if they are different. But everyone can't be accepting of others if their view of people differs. The granddaughter accepted her Granny for being different, but other people couldn't because they viewed her as scary. I also liked the illustrations and thought they were well drawn and appealing to the reader's eye. Entertaining book for children to read when they want a good laugh. "My granny's kind of different," begins this charming picture-book from the UK, which is narrated by a young girl who, although she loves her grandmother, is made very uncomfortable by her many quirks. Wearing her black pointy hat, accompanied by her cats and frogs and bats, and making her gloopy soup, Granny just isn't like the other grandparents the little girl knows. Strange things, such as the little girl's teacher suddenly finding himself in his underwear in front of his class, seem to happen when she is around. Finally, in desperation, the girl pleads with her granny to be more "normal-ish," and a grandmotherly reformation project is begun. But will the little girl like the results...? Although the word 'witch' is never mentioned in the text, it is clear from story and artwork that the grandmother in Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble is just that, lending a magical patina to the common childhood experience of feeling embarrassed by one's elders. The heartwarming resolution gives the tale a happy "family story" feeling, and emphasizes the importance of accepting people for who they are. I enjoyed Tracey Corderoy's rhyming text, despite the occasional awkward moment - it seemed to take her a few pages to find her stride - as well as the colorful artwork by Joe Berger. Those decorative endpapers were almost psychodelic! All in all, a sweetly appealing witchy tale, one I would particularly recommend to young readers who feel embarrassed by their parents and/or grandparents. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
