I bought thisbook for my 2 and 3 year old granddaughters. Although I have not seen this book, I am told that the 3 year old sleeps with this book, and although she has many books, it is the first book she grabs to read. She will be takingit to day care this week to share since this is a week about planting/growing/reaping. My daughter, a 3rd grade teacher, says this book is a gem.
a great story about a seed, watching it grow into a plant, and become a tree. A great way to teach children how things grow and the care needed to help them grow. It teaches a respect for growing things. It helps children see them as living things.
I read this with two boys; they loved the end picture of the boy in the tree with the original boy, now a man. They picture themselves like that one day I think! A good cycle of life to look at and visualise, interesting and lovely drawings and nice animals crop up on each page. Snails, tortoises, etc. I love Elly MacKay's lightbox theatre pictures as they almost glow on the page, bringing real life to each picture. And her illustrations are charming. Funnily enough, the book will be a little like the seed, in that I think the boys will keep the book to read to their own children one day.. At least, that's the intention. I wish we could get more of her work in the UK.
I'm a fan of the author's other artwork, so it's very nice to see her work contained in book-form. This story is beautifully simple and sweet, the illustrations are lovely. This is a wonderful children's book.
This book is a simple, sweet story. A perfect one to read to your little one.What sets this book apart is Elly MacKay's artwork. Her exquisitely crafted illustrations, which she expertly lights and photographs in her mini "theater" transport the reader (and the young audience member) to another world; a world of dream and fantasy. Her illustrations are rather like a dream in which the true essence of a thing is shown but you may just have to squint your eyes to see it. Ships, and balloons, and castles in the distance add a dramatic backdrop to the scene and at the same time are vital to the moment depicted. One can lose oneself in her world of color and texture.Ms. MacKay may well be this generation's Virginia Lee Burton, Maurice Sendak, or Ezra Jack Keats!Buy this book. It is magical.
My two and a half year old likes it. He doesn't usually like relatively easy going (colors, scenes, etc) books like this, but he really enjoys it. I'd buy again and would recommend it to others.
Elly's unique illustrations and a wonderful companion to this sweet story. We have several of her prints and the printing quality of the book is superb. We've recommended it to all of our friends.
This beautiful book showcases Elly's touch for creating scenes of idyllic childhood memories and dreams while teaching about the fascinating life of a seed. Cleverly and artfully done.
