Title: Armadillo Tattletale by Keith Graves ISBN: 0590997238 Publisher: Scholastic Trade Pub. Date: August, 2000 Format: School & Library Binding Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.25
Rating: 2
Summary: On the bright side the illustrations are sumptuous and rich.
Comment: Unfortunately, the book has only unsympathetic characters. The armadillo while he repeatedly tattletales, doesn't learn how to improve his behavior, despite the grief it causes him and others, instead he is physically stopped by having his large receptive ears chewed down by the alligator. All his friends are mean, they throw "humongous hissy fits" ,they don't allow him to drink at the watering hole and they gang up on him. The writer lapses into using vague words like "what-for, how-come and why-not" that weaken the text and meaning.
My 4 year old boy overall found it a bit sad.On the bright side the illustrations are sumptuous and rich.
Rating: 5
Summary: Delightful!
Comment: We loved it - the pictures, the story, the ending. The "we" includes mom and an eight year old - but it's suitable for preschool and up. Wonderful book.
Rating: 5
Summary: What a delight!
Comment: This is a wonderful porquoi tale that could be subtitled "Why Armadillo Has Small Ears." The humor in both the language and illustrations harmonize perfectly. The story might introduce young readers to the concept that it's not nice to listen in on private conversations nor to spread gossip (especially if it's false!). This book is perfect as a read-aloud; it flows much better than a similar book, "Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears."
