Description de l’éditeur
By award-winning author-illustrator Cynthia Rylant, Everyday Town is a sweet story about the people and places that make up a town.
The Everyday Town has a little red school,
a fruit shop, a mailman, and a train.
It has two yellow bikes and one green car,
and its mayor likes to fly in a plane.
From award-winning author-illustrator Cynthia Rylant, comes a delightful story about all the people and places that make this Everyday Town.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The titles of these five board books may be unintentionally self-descriptive; Rylant offers rather quotidian glimpses of people, things and settings familiar to very young children. The volumes contain six spreads, each of which illustrates four lines of verse. The opening pages of the first title introduce a faceless trio of little folk: ``The Everyday Children wear bright blue boots / and slickers and dance in the rain. / They love puppies and kittens and hamsters in wheels. / They love dolls and long green trains.'' The rest of this text and those of the subsequent volumes are equally sing-song and banal. Only slightly more memorable is Rylant's collage-like art, consisting of basic shapes and a perky range of colors, but this work, too, lacks originality and flair. Ages 1-5.
