Never mind that it's Atwood, that it's hand-lettered, that it's Canadian... is it a good story? Yes! A little absurd, but not so much as very popular [a:Edward Lear|142|Edward Lear|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1209058926p2/142.jpg]. Heartwarming, with simple words & rhythms, honest plot and authentic characters. My only question is - shouldn't the beavers have paddle tails, instead of furred? Now I want to sit in a tree with a best friend and some tea. Atwood says herself in the introduction that the book is fairly primitive. It's printed only in two colors (and a mix of the two), and she hand lettered it herself. It's a far cry from the super slick glossy kids books of today, which is a value for children to see in itself. It also has a really lovely unusual cadence and structure, which flows kind of beautifully when read aloud. I just find it a little off-putting on some level than I can't put my finger on though. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Dos niños viven en lo alto del árbol más alto. Allí comen, duermen, juegan y dan saltos, hasta que un día dos castores roban su escalera y ya no pueden bajar. ¿Y cómo bajamos del árbol? Se preguntan.
Two children rejoice in their home up in a tree, free from parental guidance and earthbound concerns. But when beavers gnaw their ladder into matchsticks, the children aren't sure they want to be quite so alone. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Quite charming. I would have been tickled by the thought of living in a tree when I was small. ( )
