Críticas

"""The Selfish Giant" is a musical, artistic and literary tour de force. Dan Goeller has created a stunning work that summons just the right musical tension and release with his compelling orchestrations. I can't think of any age group who would not be thoroughly enthralled with the confluence of these three artistic expressions in the telling of this story." --Greg Nelson, seven-time Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer" ""The reillustration of any classic fairy story is always cause of celebration. Yet it is rare to find a book take quite as much joy in the original text as artist Chris Beatrice has here. Playing with light and beauty, Beatrice brings Oscar Wilde's original story to rip-roaring life. You can practically smell the thick perfumes of the flowers in this garden, or feel the warm spring breezes. Without a doubt, this is the best illustrated version of this tale that I have ever seen. Period." --Betsy Bird, children's librarian, New York Public Library, and member, Newberry Award committee" ""A veritable feast for the eyes and ears." --Joseph Pearce, author, " The Unmasking of Oscar Wilde ""I really enjoyed my first reading of "The Selfish Giant". My enjoyment increased hugely upon listening to Dan Goeller's imaginative and beautifully orchestrated musical setting. As with all great musical settings of words and images, Mr. Goeller's music gives wings to the story." --Keith Lockhart, conductor, Boston Pops Orchestra" ""What makes this new book stand out is the CD and the music. I would guess that this could easily become a real favorite with young children. If you're looking for fairy tale entertainment, then "The Selfish Giant" is a good place to start." --Ann Giles, blogger, "The Bookwitch", and columnist, "The Guardian ""A window into both this wonderful story and the world of the orchestra." --Delta David Gier, former conductor and host, NY Philharmonic Young People's Concert Series" ""Here is a celebration of wonder and love. Goeller's music is a perfect complement to Wilde's story and Beatrice's paintings. I'm thrilled to see this old story gain new life in such a beautiful way." --Kathi Apelt, Newberry Honor winner and National Book finalist, and author, "The Underneath
