Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Ages 5^-7. Inspired by an incident in Eudora Welty's One Writer's Beginnings in which Welty's father shows his infant daughter Halley's comet, Carpenter's song "Halley Came to Jackson" serves as the text for this unusual picture book. Set in Jackson, Mississippi, the rhyming text begins, "Late one night / when the wind was still, / Daddy brought the baby / to the windowsill." He makes a wish, which comes true 80 years later, when an elderly lady stands on the porch of the same house and gazes at the same comet. Young children may not connect the baby with the lady, but many adults will be moved by this deft depiction of the passage of time. With the back cover cut out to create a temporary holder for the cassette tape, the book may be better suited to bookstores than to libraries. Still, an original addition to libraries with large collections of picture books or book/cassette kits. Carolyn Phelan
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-In 1990, Carpenter wrote and recorded a song about an incident that occurred in 1910. Eudora Welty's father took his infant daughter to the window to witness the comet Halley. Seventy-five years later, Welty stood on the front porch of the same house in Jackson, MS, to witness the comet's return. Andreasen's idealized paintings of small-town life add to the nostalgic tone of the lyrics, sure to tug at parents' heartstrings as they wish for happy futures for their children. The music on the accompanying cassette is pleasant. However, one must question the intended audience. Children don't know Eudora Welty's writing, and the picture-book set is unlikely to care much about the book's underlying theme. Adult fans of Carpenter's music might appreciate this visual interpretation of the song, but it fails as a children's book.

I will admit that I love MC Carpenter's music but I had not heard the song until I bought the book for my 3 yr old. While it's true that he doesn't get the passage of time connection, he simply loves the sound of the words and the pictures. I love the sweet story. Soft and comforting are the adjectives that fit both the books illustrations and the song itself. My son plays the song over and over as he gets ready to go to bed. It's one of those books that will hold a special place for us as he grows older.

Nicely executed, with wonderful pictures, but I wonder if this one isn't more appreciated by adults. My little 2 year old doesn't get the the underlying message. Maybe when she gets older.

Comets, babies, dogs... this book has it all. A wonderful story with lovely illustrations, this is a beautiful book to share with the much-loved children in your life. My neice had me read it to her over and over. She especially enjoyed spotting the comet and the dogs in the illustrations. Also glad to introduce my neice to a great author (Welty) and a great singer/songwriter (Carpenter) as such an early age!
