Blue, Barry & Pancakes: Escape from Balloonia… von Dan & Jason
This book would be good for older elementary students. It is an early chapter book that shows the three characters escaping from Balloonia, which they got to in a balloon rocket ship. This would be good in the classroom because it shows imagination and allows students to read longer books.
Three friends live in a big three-floored treehouse together: Blue (a worm); Barry (a frog); and Pancakes (a rabbit). In this first volume of a graphic novel series, the trio visit a beach and play with an inflatable ball, which gets lost in a spectacular way, resulting in increasingly ridiculous situations from a spaceship pool party to an inner volcano birthday party.
This is a very silly book that will appeal to kids who like goofy and slapstick humor, like Looney Tunes cartoons or Dog Man comics. The language is relatively simple and fairly sparse so this is a good choice for reluctant or struggling readers or those who are just moving on from early readers.
The reason I didn't like the book better was the characters were a little obnoxious in the beginning and I didn't quite get over that. I thought for such supposedly good friends, Barry and Pancakes choosing to play Keep Away with Blue in the middle *after* Blue explicitly asked them not to play with his collectible beach ball was poor behavior, although they do eventually apologize for it at the conclusion of the book. Also, in a very bizarre illustration, when the ball first goes missing, the thought/speech bubble for Blue is that of a ticking bomb. Is that supposed to indicate Blue is that angry? Or is a "bleep" for a curse word? I don't know but either way, it was weird and makes me feel uncomfortable recommending this book to youngsters.
The illustrative style is very cartoony, which fits with the tone and intended audience for the book, but it is not my preferred style. Backmatter develops the characters a little further; a brief mention of "her" here illuminates that Pancakes is a female character.… (mehr)
