The story about two young children with opposite behaviors meet and develop a positive relationships. The relationship development of trust between the character, Henry builds a tree house designed by his friend, Amy. This was good book to teach children social morals. I just love picture books by Australians. I was kinda hoping this would play with the idea that some children have of people in the southern hemisphere going around 'upside-down' on the globe, but it turned out to be more fun than that. What a nice, fun exploration of what it means to be true-to-yourself, but at the same time being open-to-new-perspectives. A young boy who can't do anything right meets a young girl who can do no wrong, and the rest (as they say) is history. Quickly becoming firm friends, Henry and Amy find that their very different ways of being - Henry can never seem to go in a straight line, or tell up from down, while Amy is always prepared, and knows how to do everything that is expected of her - does not prevent them from enjoying each other's company, instead enriching both of their lives. For the perfect little girl (not unexpectedly) long to be a little less perfect, while the perpetually out-of-step boy longs to fit in. Somewhere in the middle is happiness... The second story I have read from Australian picture-book author/artist Stephen Michael King - the first was the poignant and appealing Mutt Dog! - Henry and Amy: (Right-Way-Round and Upside Down) is an engaging tale of two friends united by an all-too common experience: unhappiness with themselves as they are. I liked how the answer to this unhappiness lies in a tempering of those qualities which make them unique, rather than in outright change in one direction or another. The artwork, as I expected after enjoying Mutt Dog!, was very endearing. All in all, a sweet little book, one I would recommend to all children who worry about whether they're the way that they are "supposed to" be. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Even though they are very different, Henry and Amy are good friends. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
