Chloe’s large family spends a lot of fun quality time together then they get a tv. Chloe feels left out but then she figures out a way to snap them out of their tv watching daze. Nothing much actually happens. Chloe the bunny, the object of Henry's affections in author/illustrator Peter McCarty's Henry in Love, returns in this second picture-book. Here she is the middle child in her family, with ten elder siblings and ten younger. Although normally an enthusiastic participant in group activities, Chloe isn't thrilled when her father brings home a television, and family fun time turns into everyone sitting together, staring at the screen. Fortunately, Chloe has an empty box and lots of bubble wrap to keep herself entertained, and to draw her relatives' attention away from the television... It's been a few years since I read Henry in Love, but looking over my review, I see that I loved McCarty's artwork but was unimpressed by his story. With Chloe, I once again loved the illustrations, but was also favorably impressed by the story. As someone raised without a TV during my formative years, I appreciated the message, implicit in the story here, that actual familial interaction and group play beats out passively watching televised entertainment. I also appreciated the ending, in which Chloe imagines that she is hearing bubble-wrap being popped in her dreams, when the artwork makes it plain that Daddy Bunny is busy popping downstairs. Recommended to fellow Peter McCarty fans, and to anyone looking for children's stories that take a less-than-positive view of television. This book teaches a valuable lesson to children in regard to maintaining meaningful family connections, and the potentially divisive and disruptive force of television in our contemporary lives. The book carries a profound message that family love and ties of kinship are more important and enduring than the fleeting images of television screens and that imagination is more powerful, distinctive, and actualizing than passively sitting around and absorbing life as filtered through television. This book is really very important in our current age of screen addiction where people are becoming increasingly distant from one another and connections between people are faltering. This book teaches children to strive for becoming the authors of their own lives rather than allowing media to interpret reality for us. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
