Produktbeschreibungen
From Kirkus Reviews
The apparent point of Duncan's story--accepting folks no matter how different their waysis hardly driven home by her tale of three neighbors, an African-American boy and two of his elders. Miss Viola lives in an immaculate house set on an immaculate yard; Uncle Ed Lee lives amid gonna-get-to-it-someday disorder; and Bradley, the young narrator, lives in the house between theirs. One day, while playing checkers in his tumbledown yard, Uncle Ed Lee mentions to Bradley that he would like to know Miss Viola. Bradley guffaws, too aware of Uncle Ed Lee's ``flaws.'' ``Just because folks are different, don't mean they can't be friends,'' intones Uncle Ed Lee. Miss Viola lets it be known that the gentleman will have to spruce up his digs if he expects her friendship. So he does. This is not exactly a call for tolerance as much as it is a request for radical change. Uncle Ed Lee and Miss Viola may be friends, but only because one of them cleaned up his act. The scenes, tenderly rendered in watercolors by Stock, soften the message. (Picture book. 5-8) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2?It's "Story Day" at Bradley's school, and he tells his class about how he helped two of his elderly neighbors become friends. Miss Viola is as "neat as a pin," while Uncle Ed Lee is as "junky as a pack rat." When the man tells Bradley that he would like to meet Miss Viola, the boy passes the message on, but the woman insists that her neighbor must "do something about that messy yard" before she will even consider a visit. Uncle Ed Lee cleans up his act and invites her and Bradley over for lemonade. Stock's realistic illustrations, rendered in soft watercolors, portray tenderness between these African-American characters despite their differences (right down to Uncle Ed Lee's dog and Miss Viola's cat). Told in Bradley's informal voice, the narrative makes the boy's friendship with his two neighbors believable and points out that opposites do attract. This upbeat tale will fill a multitude of requests (e.g., intergenerational stories and friendship) and makes a nice choice for reading aloud.?Olga R. Barnes, Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, NC
