ED EMBERLEY GO AWAY BIG GREEN MONSTER /ANGLAIS

Auteur : EMBERLEY ED

Éditeur: LITTLE BROWN US

The Caldecott Medalist makes wonderful use of innovative production techniques in this ingenious offering. Differently diecut and boldly colored pages reveal increasingly scary features of a big green monster–on the first spread, we see two big yellow eyes, on the second, the eyes plus a long blue nose, and so on, until the monster is fully unmasked. But that’s only half the story. « You don’t scare me! » reads the caption after the monster is shown in all its horror. Turn more pages and, one by one, the scary features disappear, as does, of course, the monster. « And don’t come back! Until I say so, » the text concludes. A joy to read aloud, the simple story entertains even as it helps its audience master common fears. Emberley’s striking approach should win him new fans aplenty. Ages 3-8.
