Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Second grader Richard is embarrassed to wear the oversized purple corduroy pants his aunt and uncle have just given him, but after he tries them on, he is late for the school bus and hurries out the door. It's his day to be the teacher's helper, and as he performs the tasks she assigns him, such as portioning out mealworms into petri dishes for a science lesson, he is preoccupied with keeping his pants up....Gilson captures the thoughts and fears of second graders through authentic dialogue and solid characterization. Information about mealworms is skillfully woven into the text. The story unfolds smoothly and is enhanced by several full-page black-and-white sketches. A sound choice for beginning chapter-book readers."

"When Richard has to go to school wearing the oversized bright purple pants his eccentric Aunt Nannie made for him, he is mortified, and has to hold on to them so they won't fall down....The wonderful message, that being different can be fun, is brought home, but never obviously or didactically. All of the characters are likable, especially Richard, who is appropriately worried without being whiny. De Groat's warm black-and-white drawings perfectly match the lighthearted mood of the text."

Reseña del editor:

Seven-year-old Richard is self-conscious when he receives a pair of purple pants from his aunt and uncle and has to wear them to school, but he is even more worried when his uncle shows up for a visit to his classroom. Reprint.
