The Owl and the Pussycat Board Book [Englisch] [Pappbilderbuch]

Edward Lear's nonsense poem about two unlikely sweethearts--an elegant owl and a beautiful cat--has found a perfect match in artist Jan Brett. She traveled to the Caribbean (the land where the Bong-tree grows, perhaps?) to research her illustrations as well as the settings, costume details, plants, and fish native to the area. Readers can follow an illustrated subplot of two yellow fish who also fall in love under the pea-green boat. A charming treatment of a classic children's poem. (Ages 3 to 7) -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

PreSchool-Grade 3-- To the words of one of Lear's favorite poems, a dapper owl clad in jeans and a matching shirt courts a demure cat in the waters off a Caribbean island. Awash with color and activity above and below the sea, Brett's illustrations show the determined efforts of the owl, the precarious nature of a courtship at sea, and the lush flora of the island paradise. Shells, sand, and love-struck fish, as well as the little boat Promise , are set against emerald greens and midnight blues to create a fresh version of an old story that's filled with intricate details and touches of humor. A hoot and a howl that's sure to make a big splash with young romantics.
