Product Information

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Look up! From the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of the Hat trilogy comes a new deadpan gem.Turtle really likes standing in his favourite spot. He likes it so much that he asks his friend Armadillo to come over and stand in it, too. But now that Armadillo is standing in that spot, he has a bad feeling about it.A hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there¿s something off somewhere, but you just can¿t put your finger on it. Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit and existential silliness, celebrated picture-book creator Jon Klassen gives us a wholly original comedy for the ages. 96 pp. Englisch. I liked the developing dread even while I was laughing at/with the three friends, I mean, the cranky turtle and the armadillo and snake, who deal with a big, unexpected intrusion into their lives, and their later musings.

In het laatste hoofdstukken gaat de zon onder in hun eigen tijd. De mooiste tijd waarin niets in de weg staat, maar nog steeds de goede eigen plek belangrijk is en niet iedereen alles kan horen. Dan ga je dichterbij de anderen staan. Net op tijd samen. Condition: New. Look up! From the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of the Hat trilogy comes a new deadpan gem.Turtle really likes standing in his favourite spot. He likes it so much that he asks his friend Armadillo to come over and stand in it, too. But n.Als je dit boek ziet, weet je gelijk: dit is bijzonder. Geen rots te zien op het omslag, laat staan van boven. Wel in letters in de titel. Geen felle kleuren en toch nodigt het minimalistische uit tot openen van dit dikke prentenboek. Reynolds and Brown have crafted a Halloween tale that balances a really spooky premise with the hilarity that accompanies any mention of underwear. Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuth So in the book, I’m going through the motions, but there’s this silent conversation going on also. What do you think is this going to happen? Is he telling the truth? Kids can hear it. It’s like that part in The Shining when the little boy and the caretaker are in the kitchen and the caretaker is talking about all the food they have, but then at the same time, in the shining way, silently, he’s asking the boy, Do you want some ice cream?... He’s saying to the boy, “I’m reading you.” I read this picture book about a turtle, armadillo and snake in chapters (similar to Maurice Sendak's Pierre: A Cautionary Tale in Five Chapters and a Prologue) twice and still felt as if I missed something. I felt the ending was ambiguos. IMHO, Readers will either love it or feel frustrated by it.

Bear wants a 'cool' new haircut, so off he goes to the hairdressers - but which style will suit him best? A fun story with an attached bear puppet to really bring the tale to life. Son (4): I really liked this book. It was really funny. I like how the animals shouted at each other lots. My favourite character was the one from space. I want to read it again. 82 stars out of 5. Zo gaat de conversatie op een droge humoristische manier verder. Wat voelt goed, wat voelt beter. Ze staan alleen. De een bij een bloem, de ander bij een plantje. Dan komt de slang erbij en stopt bij het gordeldier. De schildpad gaat overstag. Net op tijd. Ze staan met zijn drieën bij de plant. En dan valt er iets. Een rots. Turtle really likes standing in his favorite spot. He likes it so much that he asks his friend Armadillo to come over and stand in it, too. But now that Armadillo is standing in that spot, he has a bad feeling about it . . .Does it even matter?. Not much actually happens in this book, but Klaasen is completely unique in that he just wants kids to talk about the book and what happens in it, the three creatures and their relationships with each other. It's a classic Klassen: simple, weird, funny, expressive, and beautiful (just look at that changing sky <3): Het verhaal bestaat uit vier delen. In het eerste deel vertelt de schildpad dat hij heel graag bij de bloem staat en dat hij nooit ergens anders meer wil staan. Een steen ergens in het universum op de volgende bladzijde komt van boven. Het gordeldier komt aangelopen en vraagt wat de schildpad aan het doen is: ‘Ik sta op mijn lievelingsplek.’ Het gordeldier vindt het geen fijne plek, het gevoel is niet goed. Hij ziet een andere plek bij een plantje en gaat er even staan om te zien of het beter voelt. Vervolgens kunnen ze elkaar niet verstaan, ’JE BENT TE VER WEG.’ en komt even terug. I tried reading it again and again. But I still cannot hear what it has to say. Maybe it needs to come closer. :) Turtle and Armadillo see all sorts of things in the future of their little spot. What do you think the future will be like where you live?
