Cutest story about a mismatched pair of friends I've read in a long time. ( ) A solitary mitten who had lost the other one of her pair and a stray sock, fallen out of a laundry basket, pair up in order to find their respective partners in this sweet picture-book romp from author/illustrator David Gordon. Somewhat the worse for wear after their travails in the park, they find their way to a laundromat, and have great fun getting clean. Later, when Sock is stretched by two dogs playing tug-of-war, and Mitten becomes unraveled after her yarn is pulled by a subway car, each one of the pair helps the other out. Perhaps, rather than continuing to search for their lost partners, they should accept that they are meant to be together. That they are... smitten! After reading David Gordon's Extremely Cute Animals Operating Heavy Machinery some time ago, and finding it rather uninspiring, I wasn't particularly motivated to pick up this earlier picture-book. That said, the title - Smitten - struck me, and the cover artwork looked cute, so I decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did, as I found the story engaging and fun - I particularly liked the scene in the laundromat - and the artwork appealing. Whereas I found Gordon's style rather flat in his later book, here it just felt stylized and cartoon-like. It probably helped that I found Sock and Mitten and their story far more engaging than I did the eponymous cute animals of the other book. Whatever the case may be, this is one I'd recommend to anyone looking for children's stories about friendship in general, or the idea that friends can be found in all sorts of shapes and sizes, in particular. That was just tasty...and honestly perhaps my favorite of the series. Less heartbreak than book 1...a little bit of angst but honestly not much...a little drama yes, but overall just yummy goodness. I have to say...I am a sucker for a love at first sight story so this series just affects me in all the right ways. And throw in a supportive mother and I am a freaking mess. “Well, honey, he’s been smitten with you since the first time he laid eyes on you. It was obvious to everyone but the two of you.” “But not obvious from the very start—” “Yes, baby. From the first time I watched the two of you together at dinner, I knew. Both of you were so cute, trying to pretend you couldn’t care less whether the other one was even in the room or not. It was all Avery and I could do to keep a straight face.” *** "You can’t deny emotions, son. And just because some people don’t believe in love at first sight doesn’t mean it’s not real, at least on some level. It’s got to start somewhere, right? And maybe it turns out to be true love, maybe it’s only a hot flash in the pan. But if you put the brakes on, it won’t turn out to be anything.” One of the highlights of this book is the culmination of all characters, from Book 1 and 2 at the end and a fantastic set up for Book 3. So excited for Liam and Blake's story. SSU #1 (review) Another great BR with Momo!" Reviewed by Me for Kids @ TeensReadToo.com Mittens and socks always come in pairs. I've yet to be able to purchase only one mitten or one sock, even though my dryer has a bad habit of eating only one at a time! In SMITTEN, a lost mitten atop a fence and a lonely sock dropped from a laundry basket set about on a quest to find their missing partners. When the trampling feet of school children, a trip into a waste basket, two dogs, and a subway train get through with them, neither mitten nor sock are looking or feeling their best. Fortunately, after a trip through the washer and dryer and a visit to a knitting store (and the aid of a helpful how-to book), both mitten and sock are almost as good as new. And each has found the perfect pair -- in one another! This is a truly delightful bedtime story, or a book perfect for a beginning reader. After turning the last page, you can't help but be smitten yourself! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
