Chargement... The Monster on Top of the Bed (Suzy & Karrit) (Volume 1)par Alan H. Jordan
Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This was a very cute little story about a little girl who has a fear of monsters. However, things are not always what they seem. The illustrations are very adorable, and most small children would probably enjoy them as well. Moral of the story: those who worry about monsters oftentimes may be perceived as monsters themselves. Let me first start off by saying that I love, love, love that the CD-ROM includes a Spanish and Italian version. It is great for kids who may have Spanish or Italian as their first language or even for those that don't. Kids can listen to it in other languages if they want and there's even a few Spanish and a few English versions to choose from. The book fits nicely in the cd case, so you'll always have one with the other! The book is about Suzy learning to confront her fear of monsters and that not all "monsters" are scary. She learns that people and "monsters" that come from different backgrounds can be friends and learn to understand each other and that there is no real reason to fear each other. It is a great book to help kids overcome their fear of what they think is lurking in the corners of their room. The book even references a little chant that Suzy's grandmother taught her to help banish the monsters. The pictures and text are inviting and easy to read. It is an enjoyable book for anyone child that still loves picture books. The questions in the back of the book invite you to ask your child reading comprehension questions after the book or even have them listen to the book in other languages and try to see if they can't understand parts of the story that way. In addition, the CD-ROM includes a few bonus features such as; extra stories or poems and interviews with the author and illustrator. Overall, I say it is a great and enjoyable book for kids and one that you can use to help them banish their fears of the night and unknown.

"Blimp, blop, blimp, bloop. Suzy gripped her sheets tightly. Was that noise coming from under her bed?" Synopsis Once upon a time there was a little girl named Suzy, who used to jump up and down on her bed having just a great time. This scared a young critter named Karrit who lived under Suzy's bed. But, Karrit heard Suzy do all sorts of nice things for people, and he wanted her to be his friend. Still, Suzy ate strange things like cakes made out of pans (pancakes) and the toes of toemays (tomatoes) and-he couldn't believe it-he heard her talk about eating something truly horrendous. One day Karrit heard Suzy tell her mother that she was lonely and needed a friend. Because of that Karrit decided to visit Suzy, and Suzy got to meet him. At first Suzy was scared of Karrit. After all, he had red, scaly legs, and a blue nose, but he seemed a little scared too. Suzy treated Karrit the way that she would want to be treated if she had gone to his house. Suzy figured out what was confusing Karrit, and she was sorry to have scared him. She showed him a hotdog (she didn't eat dogs that were hot) a tomato (she didn't eat the toes of matoes) and a carrot (she definitely didn't eat Karrits). Suzy made Karrit feel that she liked him, and that she wanted him to be happy. Because of that, the two of them played. They kept getting to know each other better until one day they both realized that they didn't have to be afraid of each other, and that it was a mistake for each of them to think the other was a "monster." Suzy and Karrit became best friends, and neither was afraid of monsters again. The Children Model "The Golden Rule" In this beautifully illustrated book we discover that sometimes things are not always what they seem, and we come to see a different perspective on misunderstandings and ignorance. We also discover that it is easy to misinterpret the meanings of words and actions, when Karrit explains to Suzy, that certain things she says and does frighten him. Although the words of the "The Golden Rule" (Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you) never appear in the book, the way the little girl and the critter treat each other enables them to work together to iron out their differences. A friendship forms when Suzy and Karrit realize that maybe they aren't so different from each other after all. A Mantra that Banishes Nighttime Fears When things get scary, both Suzy and Karrit are empowered when they use Suzy's Grandmother's mantra, which is highly effective in banishing monsters: "You're welcome to stay until I say, 'Nay!' Then it's time to go, and you can't say, 'no.'" Order Copies for Yourself and Your Friends... It's perfect for three-to six-year-olds. Even six-to twelve-year-olds (who are sometimes still afraid of monsters) find the story charming and enjoy reading it to their younger siblings.
