It takes patience to understand some of the stories written by this author. However, I will add that reading his books are a joy! The illustrations are incredible! And, his stories challenge the imagination. In this short story, we learn of Eric, a foreign exchange student, who is not a typical student, both in looks and actions. The family who take him in as an exchange student want very much to understand this different character. He does not sleep in the beautiful bedroom they decorated for him, instead, he sleeps in the pantry cabinet. His questions were difficult to understand, much the same for the personality of Eric. He delights in small things, and he is truly a delightful, original character that the reader grows to appreciate and enjoy! When he leaves, they are surprised and saddened. Expecting his return, they are disappointed. When they open the pantry, they are filled with joy at what he left behind. I smiled throughout the entire book, and much as those who mourned Eric departure, I too wanted more of this delightfully surprising character. This book was interesting but hard to describe. Eric is a foreign exchange student who comes to live with a family for a short while. The family does what they can to make him feel welcome and give him a memorable experience. But they are not sure they are successful. Even after he is gone, all they know is “it’s a culture thing”. I like this book, but I can not really say why. I love the illustrations, which are simple in color, and complex in execution. The story leaves me with many questions that are hard to articulate. I have a wonderful wondering sensation leftover from this reading that I think many should experience for themselves. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"When a foreign exchange student comes to live with a typical suburban family, he brings with him a boundless sense of curiosity--and a stream of unexpected questions (which his hosts are never quite sure how to answer). But when the moment comes to say good-bye, a beautiful surprise awaits, and a gift the family will never forget."--Publisher's website. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
