It shows children how to try and cope with things, such as a dog running way. It also shows children that sometimes the things we seem to lose are not that far after all. I love the way the drawings become darker when the characters are scared. It adds some factors to the reading. Distraught at the absence of their dog, Goldie, who went missing a week before, and bored in their small home, two young children try to distract themselves with a game of hide and seek in the nearby woods. As Cy hides in a wood pile and his older sister Poppy hunts for him, the reader can detect various things in the gorgeous but slightly eerie illustrations. Eventually Poppy finds Cy, but someone else has found him first... This latest title from prolific British picture-book creator Anthony Browne is a delight! The story is simple, and its ending heartwarming, but the real satisfaction comes from perusing the beautiful artwork. Not only is the splendor of the woods in autumn captured - the sparkling quality of the light, and nakedness of the trees, with the leaves upon the ground - but there is a surreal aspect to some of them that invites a second look. Sometimes the girl's shadow looks like something else, sometimes one sees an unexpected object in the landscape. There is a list of things to look for at the rear of the book. Hide and Seek is one I would recommend to fellow Anthony Browne fans, to autumn lovers, and to anyone looking for children's books that have a "hunt and find" aspect to them. Once there was a very special gorilla who had almost everything he needed. There was only one thing he didn’t have: a friend. With no other gorillas at the zoo, the keepers try something new. Will the gigantic ape strike a bond with another sort of creature, one as tiny and innocent as a kitten? Sparked by the story of a real gorilla who learned to sign, LITTLE BEAUTY is a celebration of a most surprising friendship. (Amazon) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Browne scrive questo albo illustrato ispirandosi alla vicenda vera di Koko, una gorilla che imparò il linguaggio dei segni, espresse la sua tristezza e si affezionò ad un gattino. Senza avere in mente questo preambolo, la storia raccontata sembra assurda: un gorilla capace di usare il linguaggio dei segni? Che guarda la televisione? Che dice di essere triste e che diventa amico di un gattino? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I adore Anthony Browne's art. It is more sophisticated looking than the usual children's picture book art, but the detailed facial expressions make the characters relatable. I just fall in love with all of his Gorillas. ( )
