Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of… di Jon Scieszka
Segnalato
Library_Guard | 53 altre recensioni | Jun 17, 2024 | In Return of the Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi says "Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." Alexander T. Wolf couldn't agree more. The narrator of Scieszka and Smith's seminal fractured fairy tale wants his audience to believe that "the whole Big Bad Wolf thing" is a misunderstanding involving hay fever and a birthday cake. Lane's collage style illustrations favor browns, beiges, and blacks as the wolf explains how each pig not only accidentally died as a result of poor engineering, but was rude to boot! This unique style, which sometimes drifts into the surrounding white space, creates a strong interest for both young and older readers. Scieszka's text has a breezy, reasonable quality to it which makes the audience want to believe this most unreliable of narrators.

Library_Guard | 681 altre recensioni | Jun 17, 2024 | This Caldecott Honor Book by [a:Jon Scieszka|27318|Jon Scieszka|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1201028327p2/27318.jpg] (author) and [a:Lane Smith|23573|Lane Smith|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] (illustrator) not only parodies traditional fairy tales, but does so with an unconventional artistic style. Following the success of [b:The True Story of the Three Little Pigs|125507|The True Story of the Three Little Pigs|Jon Scieszka|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171904369s/125507.jpg|120878], Scieszka and Smith present a compilation of brief, humorous retellings of classic stories. Thus, Chicken Little becomes Chicken Licken, The Princess and the Pea becomes the Princess and the Bowling Ball, and the Gingerbread Man becomes the titular Stinky Cheese Man (who no one wants to catch). The artwork, true to Smith's style, is intricate and unique, blending shades of Tim Burton and Picasso. Defying the status quo, the colors are dark, but retain their visual impact thanks to Smith's excellent line work and sense of depth. Given fine mixture of the obvious and the subtle humor, this would make excellent reading for grades five and beyond.

Library_Guard | 225 altre recensioni | Jun 17, 2024 | After giving the Big Bad Wolf his say and covering the Gingerbread man in stinky cheese, Scieszka and Smith have now flipped Aesop on his head. Similar to The Stinky Cheese Man, this book presents a series of brief stories which only loosely resemble Aesop's original fables. Each piece contains a clearly identified moral (it labels it "moral" with brackets and a different font). In "Frog's New Shoes", for instance, Frog watches a TV commercial for new skateboard shoes, runs out to buy them, and ends up face-down on the pavement because, as the moral tells the reader, "Everyone knows frogs can't skateboard, but it's kind of sad that they believe everything they see on TV." While many of the stories are humorous, and Lane's trademark style and coloring are present, the book lacks the unifying narrative thread which marked the success of their other collaborations.

mrsandersonreads23 | 98 altre recensioni | Apr 14, 2024 | 3.5 // This is always a hit with my three year old who loves trucks, and the rhymes are cute too! They have the classic Scieszka spin, and some end quite abruptly. Although, it feels like the Wheels on the Bus rhyme goes on forever....

mrsandersonreads23 | 225 altre recensioni | Apr 14, 2024 | This book is more of a fairy tale. It is about cars that are hanging out and like to smash and crash things. This one is more for toddlers. It is a cute book about different kinds of cars.
