A dandelion is transformed into a 'real' lion in this dreamlike wordless picture-book from the marvelously talented artist Yoko Tanaka, setting off on a fantastical voyage around the world. Riding a rushing train, sailing on a tall-masted ship, encountering a cityscape of skyscrapers - the Dandelion has many extraordinary adventures, until finally he finds his way back to his home field, and the the life of an ordinary dandelion. But is it so ordinary...? Although I have encountered the artwork of Yoko Tanaka before, in the illustrations for Kate Dicamillo's middle-grade novel, The Magician's Elephant, as well as in Laura Godwin's picture-book, One Moon, Two Cats, this was my first book where both storytelling and artwork were her own. I don't say 'writing' of course, because Dandelion's Dream is a wordless picture-book. Fortunately, Tanaka's artwork is more than enough to carry the story here, and the Dandelion's voyage is beautifully captured. I loved the sepia tones throughout, the play of light and dark, and the way in which the Dandelion provided the one colorful element. Recommended to picture-book readers who appreciate beautiful artwork and/or wordless narratives. In a field of dandelions, one flower becomes an actual lion. It leaves the field and travels, having many adventures, but eventually ends up in the field again, where all the yellow dandelions have turned gray and fuzzy. As they begin to blow away, they make the shape of a lion, leaping across the sky toward the moon. Yellow is the only pop of (digital) color in the charcoal art. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In a meadow filled with dandelion buds just about to flower, one dandelion blooms into a real lion! Roots and leaves unfurl into four tiny paws and a long tail, complete with a fluffy yellow tuft. What a great wide world there is to explore when you have paws instead of roots-- there are fast trains to ride, regal ships to sail, and cities with lights as bright as Dandelion's field in full bloom. A happy little dandelion views the world with wonder in this wordless story about enjoying life to the fullest. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
