This picture is innocuous enough, but I wish it had attempted more. The protagonist, Itamar, is an eight-year-old Israeli, who lives in the country. When he goes to visit his cousins in the city, he has an unpleasant encounter with some city boys, who refuse to return his soccer ball. After Itamar falls and hurts his knee, one of the city boys, Eitan, remembers a time when he hurt himself playing soccer and tries to correct the situation by helping him and apologizing. Itamar then invites the group to visit him in the country. They come, all have a great time, and "Jewish brotherhood" is restored.I was mostly bothered by the facile solution to the bullying stage of the story. While one would like to believe that children would apologize and make everything okay, I found it to be just too pat an answer. But for young children, this story could be a way to illustrate how to empathize and apologize to another after being unkind. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I wanted to like this book more than I did. The story is sweet enough, but it feels a bit forced and stilted.Nevertheless, it's still a good book for young children about bullying, forgiveness and acceptance. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. “Itamar Makes Friends” is a children’s book with a timeless message. It’s about a young boy and three strangers whom overcome their differences and become friends. I would recommend this book for people of all faiths, and for the young and old alike.Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I loved how this book allows children to experience getting along with each other even though we are all different and unique and have various living experiences. I like that it was written simply enough so that the book can be shared with pre-schoolers up through independent readers. I also liked how the book explores that while we tend to classify people into broad groups, there are nuances within the groups that need to be accepted and cherished as well. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Eight-year-old Itamar lives on a yishuv, small villiage in Israel. He loves to milk goats, shear sheep, and most of all to play soccer. When he goes to visit his cousins in the big city, he meets boys who are totally different from him -- or are they? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
