"All the things that children loved about A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends can be found in abundance in this eclectic volume, Silverstein's first book of poetry in 20 years. By turns cheeky and clever and often darkly subversive, the poems are vintage Silverstein, presented in a black-and-white format that duplicates his earlier books. Like Roald Dahl, Silverstein's cartoons and poems are humorously seditious, often giving voice to a child's desire to be empowered or to retaliate for perceived injustice: one child character wields a ""Remote-a-Dad"" that will instantly control his father, and another dreams of his teachers becoming his students so that when they talk or laugh in class, he can ""pinch 'em 'til they [cry]."" The poems focus on the unexpected-a piglet receives a ""people-back ride"" and Medusa's snake-hair argues about whether to be coifed in cornrows or bangs. Sometimes the art traffics in gross-out, as when William Tell gets an arrow through his forehead or a cartoon character sticks carrots in his sockets because he's heard that carrots are good for his eyes. Although some parents and teachers may cringe at such touches, Silverstein's anti-establishment humor percolates as he lampoons conventions (the stork not only brings babies but ""comes and gets the older folks/ When it's their time to go""), or discards decorum (a small gardener zips up his pants after watering the plants ""that way""). No matter that the author's rhythms and rhymes can be sloppy, or that his annoying insistence on leavin' off the endin' to his ING's seems artificially folksy, Silverstein's ability to see the world from, as he says, ""a different angle"" will undoubtedly earn this book a wide audience. All ages.""

""Grade 3 Up?Fifteen years after A Light in the Attic (1981) and 22 years after Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974, both HarperCollins), Silverstein, whose poetry has achieved cultlike popularity, offers readers another collection. While bodily functions seem to be the source of humor in more poems than in the earlier titles, and while there are fewer wonderful images here, the child appeal is as strong as ever. Once again, Silverstein's pen-and-ink drawings are the perfect accompaniment to the poems, always extending and often explaining the words. The book abounds in energetic wordplay (""I saw an ol' gnome/Take a gknock at a gnat/Who was gnibbling the gnose of his gnu"") and childlike silliness (""I only ate one drumstick/At the picnic dance this summer...But everybody's mad at me,/Especially the drummer""). Silverstein writes wonderful nonsense verse, but he has used rhyme and rhythm to greater effect in the past. There is much to love in Falling Up, but it has its ups and downs."

這本精裝書的設計真是讓人眼前一亮!封麵那種鮮活的色彩搭配,一看就知道是給這個年齡段的孩子精心挑選的。我女兒(她正好是七歲)拿到手的時候,那種迫不及待想翻開的樣子,簡直比我拆快遞還激動。書頁的紙質摸起來非常厚實,邊緣處理得很圓滑,這點我特彆放心,畢竟這個年齡段的孩子閱讀時難免會有些“熱情奔放”的小動作,質量過硬能經受住考驗。更不用說插畫的風格瞭,簡直是教科書級彆的童趣!那些綫條的流暢度和人物錶情的生動性,讓人感覺每一個畫麵都在對孩子說話。我試著給她讀瞭開頭幾頁,發現文字的排版也很舒服,字號大小適中,間距也處理得恰到好處,即便是剛開始獨立閱讀的孩子,看起來也不會感到吃力。整體來看,光是作為一件能擺在書架上欣賞的藝術品,它就已經值迴票價瞭。我特彆欣賞齣版社在實體書製作上投入的這份匠心,現在的很多童書為瞭追求速度和成本,在細節上實在是不夠講究,但這一本,明顯是想讓孩子留下美好的觸感記憶。
評分對於這個年齡段(6-8歲)的閱讀材料來說,語言的節奏感和韻律美是檢驗其是否為“佳作”的重要標準之一。這本書的文字雖然看起來簡潔,但讀起來卻有一種非常獨特的音樂性。我嘗試用不同的聲調和語速來朗讀,發現即便是簡單的句子,也蘊含著一種恰到好處的停頓和強調,這極大地提升瞭閱讀體驗。它不是那種強行押韻的、讀起來很彆扭的兒歌體,而是一種更自然、更貼閤人物心境的語言流動。我甚至發現,當我用一種比較舒緩的語調讀的時候,我女兒的呼吸和心率似乎都會跟著慢下來,這在睡前閱讀環節,效果簡直是立竿見影。這種對語言節奏的精準把握,顯示齣作者對兒童心理和聽覺敏感度的深刻理解,使得每一次的親子共讀時間,都變成瞭一場小型、私密的聽覺盛宴。
評分從一個更宏觀的角度來看待這本書,我必須稱贊它在主題深度上的剋製與巧妙。在看似輕鬆愉快的圖文交織中,它似乎觸及瞭一些關於“接納不完美”或者“重新定義成功”的哲學思考。這種思考不是用大道理灌輸給孩子的,而是通過故事中角色的行為和最終的結果自然而然地展現齣來。我觀察到,我的孩子在讀到某一特定情節時,會陷入長時間的沉思,這錶明書中的信息已經穿透瞭錶層的故事情節,進入瞭她對自我認知的構建階段。很多時候,我們擔心孩子接觸到太“深刻”的主題會消化不良,但這本書的敘事結構就像一個完美的漏鬥,將復雜的主題層層過濾,最終以最適閤孩子理解和吸收的方式呈現齣來。它教會孩子,生活本身就是一場充滿意外和反轉的旅程,而關鍵在於我們如何調整自己的姿態去麵對這些“摔倒”的瞬間。
評分說實話,我一直很關注那些能夠激發孩子內在創造力和想象力的讀物,而這本書在這一點上,錶現得尤為齣色。它好像沒有采用那種非常直白、說教式的敘事方法,反而提供瞭一個非常廣闊的想象空間讓小讀者自己去填充。我觀察我的孩子閱讀時的狀態,她不是被動地接收故事信息,而是在不斷地提問、猜測接下來的發展,甚至時不時地會停下來,對照著圖畫,對著書本喃喃自語。這種“主動參與感”太重要瞭,它能有效地將閱讀從一個消磨時間的活動,變成一個積極的思維建構過程。我還注意到,故事情節中似乎有一些非常巧妙的、關於視角轉換的設置,這對於培養孩子的同理心和多角度看待問題的能力,簡直是神助攻。我偷偷瞄瞭幾頁,感覺作者在處理一些看似簡單的情節時,埋藏瞭成年人都能會心一笑的幽默感,這種“雙重敘事”的魅力,使得這本書也成為瞭我本人在睡前時光的“偷悅”來源。
評分我是一個非常注重孩子情緒教育的傢長,很多市麵上的童書內容要麼過於甜膩,要麼就是隻關注快樂本身,缺乏對復雜情感的探討。然而,這本精裝書的敘事基調,給我帶來瞭一種全新的感受。它處理問題的方式非常細膩和溫柔,似乎在探討一些孩子在成長過程中必然會遭遇的那些“小挫摺”或者“不被理解”的時刻。我感覺它不是在告訴孩子“你應該怎麼做”,而是在提供一個安全的、被保護的環境,讓孩子的情緒得以投射和釋放。讀完一章後,我發現我的孩子變得比平時更願意傾訴她白天在幼兒園遇到的一些小矛盾,她似乎通過書中的角色,找到瞭一個“齣口”來梳理自己的感受。這種潛移默化的心理疏導功能,是我挑選童書時最看重的“隱形價值”。好的兒童文學,理應是孩子心靈成長的夥伴,而這本書,無疑做到瞭這一點,它提供瞭一種內在的力量感,而不是外在的矯飾。
評分沒買引進版,這種還是看原汁原味的好些。
評分A novel in verse that pulses with a fresh perspective. 12 year old Annie enjoys running barefoot and drawing the world around her.
