"Bernard, the Big Bad Wolf who lives in Louis' closet, is back
("The Big Bad Wolf and Me," 2006). Huzzah! Bernard is pretty much
under control, and he's even vegetarian (except for fish), so why
shouldn't he go on vacation with Louis and his grandpa? It's not as
easy as one might imagine. Grandpa takes to the talking wolf quite
easily, although Bernard hates pretending he's a dog. He can't help
choose sandwiches, for example, since Louis is afraid the wolf will
forget to walk on four legs and not to talk. 'I am wounded by your
lack of trust' says Bernard haughtily. They even argue over who
will be first in the water (it turns out to be grandpa). Twelve
chapters are done in comic-book style, with multiple squiggly
sketches that seem artless but are vividly funny. Human figures are
blue, the elongated and angular wolf is brown and solid (everyone
else is linear), and the occasional crab or cow is done in rust or
maroon. The language remains simple, accessible, charming and quite
funny in this nifty follow-up. Readers may find metaphors about
imaginary friends, taming one's fears or having special fun with
grandparents, but mostly, they will go from giggles to guffaws with
this disarming trio." --"Kirkus Reviews" (STARRED REVIEW) "'The Big
Bad Wolf Goes on Vacation' is Delphine Perret's very smart and
thoroughly beguiling follow-up to the similarly marvelous 'Big Bad
Wolf and Me' (2006), both of which were originally published in
France. A hybrid picture book/chapter book/graphic novel for young
children and newly confident readers, both books tell the story of
Louis, a young boy with an active imagination and a Big Bad Wolf
for a companion. His name is Bernard. And he's a secret.He's also,
occasionally, a distraction. He gets crumbs on Louis's neck while
the child tries to finish his homework. 'You want me to leave you
alone?' the Wolf asks, and when Louis says yes, can't help adding,
'I see you've made a few mistakes on your homework.' You can
understand why Loui
内容简介
The Big Bad Wolf is back and funnier than ever! Doesn't a wolf
deserve a holiday, too? Bernard, the clever, cookie-munching hero
of Delphine Perret's award-winning book, certainly thinks so. So
when he learns that his pal Louis is vacationing by the sea with
his grandpa, Bernard wants to go too. This much-anticipated sequel
to the award-winning The Big Bad Wolf and Me is every bit as
delightful as the first.
