İki oğlumun da en sevdiği kitap oldu bu kitap. Büyük oğlum 5 yaşındayken kitabı anaokuluna götürüp arkadaşlarına anlatmıştı, küçüğü de şu anda 4 yaşında ve üç gündür çizgili oluyor oyunlarda. Çizgilinin anne ve babasından izinsiz tek başına ormana gitmesi ve yaşadığı maceralar var kitapta. Kitabın sonunda anne ve babasına bir daha sözünüzden çıkmayacağım diyor kahramanımız. Benim oğullarım biraz yaramaz bir yavru olan çizgiliyle çok özdeşlik kurdu ve ikisi de 4-5 yaşlarındayken kitaba bayıldı. Resimleri de hikayeyi çok iyi yansıtmış, çok ilgi çekici.

27 aylık kızım çok sevdi. Cümleler ne uzun ne kısa. Hikayenin özü ve akışı çok güzel. Korkutucu/ürkütücü ögeler/çizimler yok. Hikayeyi okurken çizgili ile biz de bir macera yaşıyoruz her seferinde :) Sonunun sevgi, güven, huzurla bitmesi de okuyucu/dinleyici için çok önemli bence. Uyku öncesi kitabı olarak getiriyor kızım genelde.

Anne ve babasının sözünü dinlemeyen Çizgili nasıl da tehlikelere kapıldı. Hemen bitirdim.

Küçük kahramanımız olan Çizgili'nin macerasını beğendim, 'anne baba sözünü neden dinlemeliyiz'i öğretiyor bizlere. :)

Ana baba sözü dinlemenin önemini anlatan bir kitap olması için yazılmış ama Çizgili o kadar güzel maceralar yaşamış ki imrendim. Resimleri biraz daha anlaşılabilir şekilde çizilebilirdi sanki.

Stripe is written by Joanne Partis. It is a story about a young tiger named Stripe. He and his parents live right on the edge of a jungle. His parents always tell him to never go into the jungle alone because it is very, very dangerous. However, one day when his parents are napping, Stripes ventures into the jungle alone. A series of scary events occur for Stripe reminding him of exactly why he was to never enter the jungle alone. Eventually Stripe ends up back at home and makes the decision that he will not enter the jungle again alone for a very, very long time. This book is a kid-friendly reader and makes for a quick read aloud as well. There are several animals that fill the pages, each doing what they do best. The moral of the story is an age old one of listening to your parents/guardians. The illustrations are phenomenal and very child friendly. Great book!

Stripe's parents fall asleep and, despite their warnings to not go into the jungle alone, Stripe wanders off into the mass of trees. He meets several animals who apparently want to eat/hurt him (bees, crocodiles, etc.) but makes it back home in one piece and decides to not wander off alone again. I think it's supposed to be a moral lesson to listen to your parents, but I'm not such a fan of children's books in which the lovable and cute main character almost gets eaten several times in just the few pages of the book! Stripe was an ADORABLE tiger and we picked this one up thinking it would be about the jungle, animals, etc. Nope. It's a "listen-to-your-parents-or-you-could-die" book.

The pictures did seem to interest my son, though. Ha.

My almost-five-year-old son picked this book out from our local library last week. The cover artwork was too irresistible for him.

Stripe in an almost-perfect picture book. It almost went on my have-to-buy-it list, but not quite, at least, not yet.

The story is engaging enough -- it is simple, easy-to-understand, with elements of surprise and danger. And Stripe saves himself, which is always a bonus in a children's book. The artwork inside is just as irresistible as the artwork on the cover, and appeals very much to an almost-five-year-old boy. This book just didn't quite keep his attention. I don't know if it is missing the nebulous "X factor" or if my son was just really tired.

Colorful and cute illustrations accompany sweet text about a little tiger cub - who has many misadventures - while exploring the jungle (after his mama told him not to!).

I think I liked this book better than the toddlers. The first time I read this, they weren't as into it as the second time. I think it helped that I added commentary on the animals he runs into.

A great storytime toddler read!
