5.0 out of 5 stars a little yellow alien, October 24, 2003

By

This review is from: Beegu (Hardcover)

A sweet tale that has held hundreds of preschoolers on our bookmobile spellbound as they relate to this little, long-eared, rabbit-like character. Few but meaningful words add to the simple yet lovely art that guides the listener through emotions that all children can relate to: lost, lonely, not able to make one's self understood, sad, perhaps even a bit scared, not belonging, unwanted, elation, and happiness. Not too long for the older 3's or 4 year olds, not too babyish for the 5 & 6 year olds. Beegu is a delightful story for the teachers who join us as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and haunting, April 6, 2006

This review is from: Beegu (Hardcover)

This story haunted me after reading it to my preschool students. If you have ever felt lost and unloved, you will relate to this moving story of a small alien stranded on an unfriendly world. However, Beegu has hope for the "small ones" on Earth. This is a great story for creating empathy in children for those who are different. If you are a parent or teacher with Beegu's faith in the small ones, you should read this book to the small ones in your life.Would you be Beegu's friend? I hope so!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, October 8, 2004

BookMom (brockport) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beegu (Hardcover)

We read and we read and we read, but there is not one book that can keep my children so quietly happy as this bittersweet, lovingly drawn little hybrid named beegu. It belongs on every little person's shelf.
