Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Another truly outstanding illustrated book by Cory Q Tan. This is the 3rd book from the Theodore series and once again full of adventure and excitement. Annabelle is excited to be gifted ‘the best teddy bear in the world’, but through many ventures in trying to get 'the best teddy bear in the world' she realises her loyalty to her current teddy bear. I found this concept to be absolutely adorable. There are some wonderful surprises and even more surprising characters involved. The beautiful piece of classical music incorporated into the story gives the book a unique touch......which I found and listened to as well. The vibrancy of colours and the intricately patterned detail of all the illustrations in this book, by Cory himself, are a story in itself. Every time the page is turned you will repeatedly be blown away by the beauty of the scenes and the characters. The bus terminal, the town Annabelle ends up in, the forest, the labyrinth of stairs, the town square dead end, the suave English bear, are only a few of my most favourite illustrations of this book. Cory Q Tan always brings a certain magic into our lives with his wonderful children's books. I say 'children's books' but without a doubt they would be thoroughly enjoyable for any age. I will always recommend all books by this award winning and well accomplished author to anyone. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Having read other books Cory, I was exhilarated to receive another book for review. He didn't disappoint me in the least. The moment I opened the book to read with my daughter, she was completely blown away by the illustrations that accompanied the story. Cory manages to capture the innocence of childhood and shares the very essence that makes childhood beautiful.
In this story, we are led by Annabelle through a journey of adventure, thrills, dangers and mystery. Her grandmother has brought her a new teddy bear which she says is the "Best Teddy Bear in the World". Having forgotten Theodore in her excitement, Annabelle decides to meet her grandmother and see the Teddy bear. The journey she takes comes with full of surprises and danger.
Besides a pleasant read, Cory also imparts valuable lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and parental advice. Annabelle lands into trouble due to her eagerness to see the new teddy bear despite her mother asking her not to. Just like any other child she throws caution to the wind and follows her desire. Theodore displays courage and loyalty to Annabelle despite feeling disregarded for a while.
There is also an important lesson of valuing what we have at hands rather than running after newer things. It's a lesson on contentment and gratification.
The illustrations in the book by Cory himself are a masterstroke in art. The vibrant colors and the intricate patterns add joy to the reading. Each page is a separate artwork that pleases the eyes, the heart and the mind. The bus terminal, the town Annabelle ends up in, the labyrinth of stairs, the town square dead end, are a few of my most favorite illustrations from this book.
Even though a children's book I highly recommend this book to everyone. Since I enjoyed reading this. It led me down the memory lane where childhood had innocence, beauty and the joy of friendship. ( )
