The pink refrigerator in the junkyard encourages Dodsworth, who likes to do as little as possible, to make pictures, read more, play music, learn to cook, plant a garden, and finally, keep exploring. Though I read, cook, and have a (small) garden, I still want to learn to play the pennywhistle and keep exploring. Everybody needs a pink refrigerator! ( ) Dodsworth owns thrift store and his motto is, “Try to do as little as possible.” His life is routine until one day at the junk yard he finds a pink refrigerator. Stuck to the front with a magnet is a note that says, “Make Pictures.” Inside the refrigerator are art supplies. Dodsworth takes the materials to his shop, but when someone tries to buy them, he just can’t sell them and instead paints a picture of the ocean. Each day Dodsworth returns to the refrigerator. Each time the notes changes and there a new treasure inside. “Read More.” “Learn to Cook.” “Play Music.” One morning the note on the refrigerator says, “Keep Exploring,” but there’s nothing inside! Disappointed, Dodsworth takes the magnet home, all the while thinking. He writes a note, “Went to find an ocean,” uses the magnet to put it on the shop door and rides off down the street. Egan’s illustrations are detailed and have a sort of old world charm to them. Dodsworth, a rather reluctant protagonist, is a small, round animal (a dog maybe? A bear?) and is never seen without his hat and coat. Instead of a car, he rides a tricycle and he seems too small for his surroundings. All this succeeds in making him an endearing, rather than boring, character. Full Review at Picture-Book-a-Day: http://picturebookaday.blogspot.com/2012/02/book-57-pink-refrigerator-by-tim-ega... Try to do as little as possible.” This was Dodsworth’s motto. One morning, on his daily trip to the junkyard, he discovers a pink refrigerator. There’s not much to say about a pink refrigerator, except this one had a note on it. The note said, “Paint pictures.” And so Dodsworth did. The next day, a new note appeared on the pink refrigerator. And the day after that, and the day after that. Dodsworth liked doing as little as possible. But the pink refrigerator had big plans for him . . .(amazon) Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
