Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Klinger's translation is skillful, and the story has the scale and gravity of a novel. Is this love or detente? It's for readers to decide." ---- Publishers Weekly "A tender episode, if an odd one." Kirkus Reviews "Doremus' scratchy colored-pencil drawings are uproariously funny, depicting the giant rosy croc obliviously trying to care for the knight, whose helmet carries a surprisingly rich range of expressions. The text, moreover, in a scrawly red font, amplifies the humor with its hilarious contrast to the artfully abstract pictures." Booklist "A spirited tale of love, loss, and the endurance of friendship." School Library Journal "Changing perspectives accompany beautiful illustrations in a slightly elongated picture book that will stand out in many ways." The Easy Reader Shelf

Reseña del editor:

Told from two different perspectives, My Little Crocodile is about a chance meeting between a crocodile and what he believes to be a "baby crocodile." This meeting profoundly changes their lives, which then continue along their own individual paths, though the bonds of love and intimacy remain. The story plays with ideas about the relationship between parent and child as well as with those about how how deeply chance and the choices we make affect us throughout our lives. Born in 1971, Gaetan Doremus received his degree from the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, France, in 1999, after which he picked up a few other degrees while creating picture books and illustrations for the press. Doremus has illustrated over twenty books and has produced hundreds of editorial illustrations and cartoons. He loves to bicycle ride, walk in the mountains, and eat green tomatoes with cinnamon. In 2006, he became a papa.
