5.0 out of 5 stars
very funny,
By A Customer
This review is from: Things Are Looking Up, Jack (Orca Young Readers) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my four year old son as the author is his preschool teacher. As it turned out he was to young for it so I ended up reading it for myself and really, really enjoyed it. Bar-el itegrates Mother Goose nursery rhymes arround themes like "falling down" and "good/evil" in such a way that they become connected as small parts of a whole new story without loosing their original context. He plays with the recurring elaments of nursery rhymes and fairy tales such as names, fantasy and happy endings in order to maintain a similar structure for his own story. In short, it is witty, creative and funny. Apropiate for older children and adults of all ages. I highly recomend it and will keep an eye open for any new titles by Dan Bar-el.
