On My Way to Buy Eggs BSC197

US$7.95

In this award-winning import from Taiwan (we also have the Chinese version: click here), a young girl's errand to the store turns into a sensory adventure. On her way to buy eggs for her father, young Shau-yu follows a cat's shadow, views her neighborhood through a blue marble, and discovers a pair of glasses that turns her world blurry. After a make-believe game with the shopkeeper and more adventures along the way, Shau-yu returns home to her loving father. The story is basic, but the simple words and phrases easily show Shau-yu's delight in transforming small things. The earthtone colors in the crisp paper-and-pencil collages are as quiet as the story, but like Shau-yu's walk, the excitement is in the subtle details and creative perspectives. The beautifully drawn scenes, first washed in blue and then blurred into charcoal smudges, show Shau-yu's view as she peers through her blue marble and then through found eyeglasses. A joyful, understated story for classroom or lap sharing. Gillian Engberg Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved.  Choose from English only or bilingual with CD version.
