HTML: From the celebrated author of Sarah, Plain and Tall, Patricia MacLachlan, comes another humorous and poignant early middle grade novel. My Life Begins! explores how life begins for Jacob when his triplet sisters are born, and how siblings get to know each other as time, and love, evolve. Jacob is nine years old when his life changes. He wants a litter of puppies. But instead his parents have a different surprise. Jacob will be an older brother soon. And there won't be only one new baby. There will be three! When the triplets are born, Jacob thinks puppies are cuter. The babies look identical to him and he gives them a name: "the Trips." For a school science project, Jacob decides to study the Trips. It feels like magic as they begin to smile, talk, and grow. Slowly, he gets to know each of them. They call his mother "Mama" and his father "Da." But what will they call him? One day, one of the Trips calls him "Jay." As each of the triplets become unique and more special with each day, Jacob starts to wonder if "the Trips" is still a good name for them. They aren't puppies, or a bunch of bananas, and they aren't just "the Trips" anymore. What should he call them that will show what they mean to him? Can he figure out their "forever name?" And will he ever get a puppy? .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Rather than being jealous, as many children might be, he is enthralled with the three little girl identical babies. Prior to this, he begged his parents for a puppy. He knows what a litter of puppies looks like, but a liter of baby girls is quite different. He learns that they are not a litter, which is what he called them for his science school project, but as they grow they each have unique personalities. He previously called them "The Trips." Now, he knows they are individual children.
Each makes different sounds, each one relates to him differently, and while they all look alike, they are not puppies of a litter, they are independt little babies. When his parents bring them to class while he is giving his science presentation regarding their growth, one of the babies takes her first steps. The entire class is enthralled and claps, leaving Jacob with a huge smile, and an A for his efforts.
There isn't a sad life-changing event in this book as with some other of her works, rather, this is a fun story of a family working together to make this major shift be a happy part of their lives as together, with a loving assistant who adds additional love to the family.
If you are looking for a fast read of a story that is heart warming, then this is a good book. (
