Sub-titled "The Kitten Who Always Wanted to Be Something Else: A Sad Story that Ends Well," this adorable picture-book, a classic of Swiss children's literature first published in 1947, and first translated into English in 1953, follows the story of Pitschi, a little kitten who isn't like her four litter-mates. While Grigri and Groggi wrestle, and Patschi and Negri climb the broom, Pitschi (who is "not amused") sets out to discover who she is, imitating a succession of different animals on Old Lisette's farm. But although Pitschi can strut like the rooster, wear a bell like the goat, waddle like the duck, and hop like the bunny, she discovers in the end that she is still a very little kitten... One of the most popular post-war children's book illustrators in Switzerland, Hans Fischer has a style here that, despite what I would almost call a "scribbly" appearance, manages to be entirely winsome. Pitschi is a lovable little feline heroine, and her wide-eyed exploration will enchant young readers. By turns humorous (the scene in which Pitschi struts after the rooster is priceless!), frightening (the night-time encounter with fox and owl is truly sinister), and endearing (the adorably concerned dog, Bello!), the artwork is always expressive, and the story involving. Pitschi is definitely a picture-book that deserves its status as a classic - just as it deserves to be better known here in the English-speaking world! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Pitschi the kitten's attempts to be a rooster, goat, rabbit, and other kinds of animals on the farm almost bring her to harm, but she finally discovers how to enjoy being a kitten. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
