Book Reviews of Verdi
Book Review: Wonderfully fun book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful story about self esteem and being oneself. It is lively and is definatly boring. Last time I read it at a children's story hour they loved it and certainly were not yawning. The illustrations are wonderful too. This book is a must for any children's collection.Book Review: You don't have to be green on the inside!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this book countless times to my Primary age (ages 6 and 7) students. It's one that they pull off the shelf for me to read time after time! Watch for the famous figure 8, my kids sure do! The illustrations are exciting and the story of staying young is great for all ages!Book Review: a great book about growing up and being yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
Verdi is a young yellow python who doesn't understand why the adult (green) pythons are such killjoys. He is playful and daring, until he hurts himself doing a stunt. The older pythons help nurse him back to health, while Verdi learns that once they, too were young and wild like he was.The book is marvelous. It is extremely readable for young (3 - 6) year olds, and the art work is beautiful, with vivid colors and expressive characters (even for a snake!). Best of all, the story line is appropriate, with a message that is easily understood (be yourself; we were all young once) without being preachy. A wonderful children's book.
Book Review: artistically mesmerizing and fun for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
i work in the public library system here in st. louis, mo, and i almost never get a chance to put "verdi" on the shelve. why? because it's ALWAYS checked out! both parents and children love this coming of age story about a young snake who, like everyone else in life, is afraid of becoming "old" and "boring". once he realizes that with age comes wisdom, he's much happier as an older, greener snake than a younger, more yellow snake. i read this book whenever i get a chance, and because of the kids at the library, that's not very often!Book Review: excellent book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book not only has beautiful illustrations but also tells the tale of growing up from a child's perspective (well, a snake's...). Our three year old LOVES it! It also gives a glimpse into life in the tropics which for our Minnesota boy is exotic! Thumbs up!
