Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.The title already tells most of the story, but there where little details along the way that made this picture book worthwhile. The illustrations were colorful and expressive and also really cute. There are several messages that may be learned from this book, but thankfully they are given in a subtle and playful background way. Perfect for very young children, but also readers that are still a child at heart.

What a beautiful book! I love children's books that have heroes who are original and self-believers rather than being like the rest of the kids without giving it any thought. Miranda is a very compassionate soul and collects broken toys rather than wanting the shiny new toys her friends have. Eventually, alas, familiar human traits begin to emerge in her friends as they shun her and call her "Miranda, Queen of Broken Toys". I like the fact that the girl who had been ridiculed became the fodder for bedtime stories. This is Tripke's first book; she has previously illustrated children's books and it shows. The illustrations! They are colorful and imaginative. The search for a boy's lost toy is hilarious. Miranda always wears blue and yellow but never the same outfit. What I loved was the change in perspective of the illustrations, especially the one looking down on Miranda's and Paul's horrified faces as a clutter of teapot, cups and sandwiches descends on them. My only criticism is that the book seemed to end abruptly. I think the addition of just one more page could have fixed that. I do love the closing line, though - "But then, what is normal, anyway?"… (altro)
