Thierry RobberechtRezensionen

O livro é muito bom e legal mesmo porque o lobo é do bem mais o gato da história sabe ele é meio que do mal sabe é disso que eu não gostei sabe.

I enjoyed this story because it does talk about a realistic situation that often happens when students start new schools. However, I do think the author could have gone into deeper explanation about the consequences of the main character's actions.

Thought this was great -- a kid is mad at his mom for "always" saying no, and ends up saying "I hate you!" -- then feels remorse, and ultimately reconciles with his parents. A great journey through a kid's temper tantrum, with very recognizable language for little kids.½

Wolf is afraid of everything, especially his shadow. Not only is he afraid of it, but he is embarrassed that his friends will find out that he is such a scaredy-cat. The descriptions of the shadow are actually rather frightening themselves, "His shadow was big and black next to him. And every time that Wolf yawned, it showed its big teeth." Wolf tries to get away from this monster by running and swimming away, but no luck. His shadow continues to follow him around. One day when all the little wolves are hiding from hunters, the sun comes up and wolve's shadow creeps up on him and poor Wolf loses control. He runs trying to get away from his shadow, but toward the hunters. He is screaming about the black monster with huge teeth and the hunters take off. If this monster can scare a wolf, then we need to get out of here. Wolf realizes that his shadow can be a help to him in a time of crisis and all the wolves think he is a hero.

A wonderful story for children who have fears, feel embarrassed about themselves or just do not realize that they are as good as anyone else. The illustrations are large, well done and show wonderful emotions on the face of the wolf. This is a story of victory and overcoming your fears. A great book for a parent to read to their children as well as one for primary classrooms where there might be some issues with fears, teasing, acceptance etc. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

A little boy overwhelmed by emotions feels like hes turning into a dragon. I delightful story about feelings, family and how to handle our emotions. Great for teaching synthesizing; when you first look through the book it would appear the family is under attack by a ferocious dragon, as you read the story with the children you learn it is just an expression of the boys feelings.

When Sam changes schools, he tells some pretty amazing stories about himself, but after a few days, when he confesses that he is just boring, regular Sam, he finds that he still has friends and a talent that makes him more interesting.

Sam's New Friend is a great book. The big picture is its okay to play with girls and sometimes they can become a good friend. The first reason I liked the book so much was it pushes readers of a young age to think and broaden their perspective. Many young children prefer to play with their sam sex, but this book challenges that. At first in the book Sam says "Sometimes Jack plays with the girls. All the boys laugh at him when he does." And by the end of the book Sam says "I played with Ellie and her friends on the playground..." It shows children how Sam ended up becoming friends with a girl and it wasn't too bad. I think this could encourage other children to play with the opposite sex. Secondly, the characters are believable and well developed. In the book Sam is portrayed as a dog, but he acts just like an elementary aged boy would act. Boys who read this book would feel relation to Sam, which will encourage them to read the book. Finally, the point of view is important to the book, I feel that if the book would've been told from his mom's point of view or a narrators point of view the message wouldn't be delivered as loud and clear. It's important to see Sam talking about how he feels as he becomes friends with a girl.

There were many reasons why I liked this book. The characters are displayed as animals, which allows readers' to focus on the storyline rather than trying to identify themselves to a character's physical traits. The text is written on a solid colored background. The simplicity of the text focuses the eye on the vibrant illustrations which supports the text. All the characters are well-developed having lots of personality as shown through the detailed wording as well as the elaborate illustrations. The pictures are both clear and bright showing the bonding between the characters and aiding to the overall heart-felt mood as it touches on the subject of sexism and divorce, something a lot of readers will be able to relate to whether they have experienced it or witnessed it. The book pushes readers to not make assumptions about people until they truly try to get to know them. Don't judge a book by it's cover!

Its about a girl building her self esteem by trying to act like animals but the parents get in the way to teacher her the best manners. But she learns that she can imitate them.

A child gets told no because she wants to act like animals and her baby brother. She gets told she cant spit on friends like llamas do. She can pretend to act like them in a mirror.

teach children what acceptable behavior and what not.

La Terre est submergée par les eaux et les plus riches peuvent s'offrir un voyage vers une nouvelle planète. Un jeune garçon y parviendra clandestinement...
Ici le héros vietnamien est projeté dans un futur qui n'est pas exploité par l'auteur ; on retrouve une histoire de boat-people sans originalité... La couverture est assez rebutante.

FIRST ONE TO ADD BOOK ON LIBRARY THING. 10/24/12. LOL. Important Ideas: This is a good book to use for educating the importance of including all students in the class. There is one super hero boy, Henry, who is left out because his only super power is that he can pull super pranks. When a monster threatens the school the other students of the superhero school flee in fear. But when Henry pulls one of his pranks to save the day he is accepted at once. Book would be fun for boys to read who are interested in super powers. Students could then create their own super hero books with a unlikely character. Reluctant boy readers would benefit from this book and read it willingly.½

Livre un peu décevant. L'histoire est originale. Un garçon de terminale meurt écraser par une voiture qui a pris la fuite. La police conclut à un accident de la circulation, comme il y en a beaucoup, provoqué par des jeunes qui ne maîtrisaient pas le véhicule qu'ils avaient volé. Pourtant, la sœur du mort ne s'arrête pas là d'autant plus qu'elle rentre en terminale dans le même lycée que son frère. Elle va découvrir que son frère ultra-sensible et maltraité par ses camarades se livrait à un trafic de drogue au lycée et s'approvisionnait chez de gros bonnets qui n'ont pas aimé qu'il souhaite arrêter. Elle mène son enquête jusqu'à se mettre en danger mais tout finira bien.

Ce qui m'a déçue, c'est un style un peu trop simpliste qui fait plus place à la description d'actions (beaucoup de phrases au présent), plutôt qu'à celles de sentiments et de justification. J'ai lu l'histoire mais je n'ai rien ressenti : ni la tristesse, ni la colère des personnages. C'est un livre jeunesse mais j'aurais aimé plus de développements et un style plus travaillé (même si je sais que le livre a déjà demandé beaucoup de travail).½

Thought this was great -- a kid is mad at his mom for "always" saying no, and ends up saying "I hate you!" -- then feels remorse, and ultimately reconciles with his parents. A great journey through a kid's temper tantrum, with very recognizable language for little kids.½

Operation Red Dragon is the first in a series of earnest graphic novels about the work of Liberal MEPs in the European Parliament, published in 2006, in which our hero Elisa Correr busts open illegal arms dealing with the government of a very large Asian country and incidentally liberates her lover from captivity as a result of getting a resolution passed in the plenary session. So there is a certain amount of wishful thinking (and also an awful lot of info-dumping). But I did like the artists' faithfulness to the European Parliament's architecture, both in Brussels and Strasbourg, and the idea of MEPs blocking an economic deal on the grounds of human rights concerns seems a little less improbable to me after last week.½

Sam thinks of himself as the bravest kid at school and calls his friends Max a scaredy-cat. But when Sam is scared by a spider, it's Max who saves the day. Now Sam does have something to be afraid of--what if Max tells everyone that it's really Sam who's the scaredy-cat?

Sam's New Friend was first published in Belgium and later translated to English. Sam, a self-described, "strong and brave" dog, plays with boys, not girls. When his mother tells him after school that the new girl in class, Ellie, will be coming over to play and spend the night, Sam is not happy. "But she's a girl!"

Sam is awakened during the night by Ellie's quiet sobbing. Her parents, she explains, may be getting a divorce. Sam models the behavior of his parents and treats Ellie kindly, comforting her and earning her friendship. And in the morning, he knows "she'll be all right, because she's tough. I'm Sam. I'm strong and brave. And so is my new friend Ellie."

Divorce may be mentioned in this story, but it is first and foremost a story of friendship and acceptance. The colorful oil painting illustrations and the vibrant colors of the text-only pages make Sam's New Friend an upbeat look at a sad topic. It's interesting to note that Sam's eyes (and the other characters as well) are depicted as small black dots - until Sam is "awakened" by Ellie's crying, and his eyes become wider and more expressive.
