Higher! Higher! |
From Booklist
*Starred Review* At the playground, a little girl sits on a swing while her father pushes her to greater and greater heights: the treetops, tall buildings, a mountaintop, the clouds, and outer space. At each level, someone looks at her in a friendly way as she calls out, Higher! Higher! Finally, she sees an alien child on a swing coming from the opposite direction. The dialogue on the next three double-page spreads reads, Hi! Hi! / High five! / Bye! Bye! Then the girl swings back down to earth, back to the park, back to her father’s arms. The story ends with one word: Again! Young children hearing the ending will be echoing Again! again and again because this elemental picture book is so satisfying. What starts out as a pleasant everyday experience quickly ramps up playfully and imaginatively, taking the child out of this world to another realm, but bringing her back so quickly and safely she can’t wait to venture out again. The acrylic paintings, in which heavy black outlines boldly define shapes and intensify the colors within them, pare down the scenes to focus attention on what is essential to the story. A wonderfully simple book that’s simply wonderful for reading aloud. Preschool. --Carolyn Phelan
From School Library Journal
Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 1—Well-known for her captivating board books, Patricelli brings her simple text and crayon colors to the next age level. As an adult pushes a pigtailed girl in a striped sweater and socks on a swing, the child calls out: "Higher! Higher!" The ride gradually takes her from a giraffe's-eye view, to a mountaintop, to an airplane, and finally high enough to trade high fives with a one-eyed, green alien who floats on her own swing among the stars. The pictures then regress to a vantage point that allows readers to review the stages of her upward climb all at once, then return to the playground for a hug and the final word: "Again!" The repetitive text is ideal for new readers, and the cartoon paintings, though spare, provide plenty of room for imagination. An excellent choice to share at storytime.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA

以前带宝宝荡过秋千,所以,宝宝在看到这本书的时候格外的喜欢!富有想象力的一本书!大爱!
太喜欢啦 里面只有简单的几个词 现在宝贝每次荡秋千都会说 higher higher
This book came in great condition, on time, and was definitely something I wanted; I love Leslie Patricelli books (have previously borrowed Potty from the library- so cute!) and I wanted to buy this book for the 22 month old I nanny for. He LOVES the swing and he loves books by this author so I thought it would be great. Once it arrived, I realized it said "Higher! higher!" on pretty much every page. Only one or two pages said something different. I read it to him twice and it was just too much of the same word. The pictures are really great, and really imaginative so if you have a kid that likes to read on their own and just look at pictures, this works. My little buddy just wants you to read the book over and over. I know thought I'd say the word "higher!" so much. So just a heads up for anyone wondering what's inside. I'll post pics too.
adorable book. wish it had more words in it but we just make up our own dialog for the pages and my 2 year old it starting to recognize the word "higher". I guess repetition is key!
My daughter can't stop reading this book. Probably her favorite book by Patricelli (and she loves them all, don't get me wrong). At 2, she can now "read" it to me herself: "higher!" "daddy!" "swing!" "giraffe!" "alien high five!" Simply adorable.
Not our favorite Leslie Patricelli book. My kids are bilingual and it's hard to find good Spanish books for them. This one has very very few words in it, so there wasn't much Spanish reading to be done.
