Όλοι μαζί στον μπλε καναπέ

by Tim Hopgood, Γιάννα Σκαρβέλη (Illustrator)

"Σταματήστε αμέσως!" λέει η μαμά. "Στους καναπέδες καθόμαστε, ΔΕΝ χοροπηδάμε!"

Ο μπαμπάς λέει ότι ο καναπές μας είναι ξεχαρβαλωμένος, η γιαγιά λέει ότι είναι μαρτύριο για την πλάτη της. Εγώ αναρωτιέμαι: "Τι έχουν πάθει οι μεγάλοι; Ο καναπές μας είναι απλώς μεγάλος, μπλε και καταπληκτικός!"

Ένα βιβλίο στο οποίο μικροί και μεγάλοι θα αναγνωρίσουν αξέχαστες στιγμές από τις δικές τους υπέροχες εμπειρίες στον καναπέ του σπιτιού τους. Καναπέδες που μεταμορφώνονται σε σπίτι, υποβρύχιο, ταξί και ό,τι βάλει ο νους των παιδιών. Αλλά και καναπέδες που φιλοξενούν τους φίλους μας, τις οικογενειακές κουβέντες, τα γεύματα μπροστά στην τηλεόραση, την επίσκεψη της γιαγιάς.

Ποιος δεν έχει ατέλειωτες μικρές ιστορίες να αφηγηθεί για τον δικό του ΜΕΓΑΛΟ ΜΠΛΕ ΚΑΝΑΠΕ;

Reviews

We loved this book! It’s about children’s imagination and having fun. Definitely a new favourite.

[Erin Murray · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is all about a sofa and how it has been passed through family generations, the older generations are sick of it but the younger children within the book have a big sentimental attachment to the sofa. The book is full of different imaginary ways they utilise their sofa until one day it breaks and they have to get a new one.

I thought the illustrations within the text were really nice and unique, they complemented the text a lot. In addition, I thought the texture on the page was a unique selling point of the book as it allows children to actually touch the sofa and feel it's texture which I think KS1 and potentially EYFS would enjoy most.

Nice book!

What a lovely book about a beautiful friendship between a brother and sister! I was recommended this book by a friend and would love to show this to my class one day as an end of the day book. I love the pastel blue colour theme that runs throughout the book as well as the different textured sofa. A great book to use with children who love textures.

The artwork in this book was beautiful. It reminded me a lot of Lauren Child's work. Would definitely look at more of Tim Hopgood's work.

The way this book is laid out on the page makes an already fun story even more engaging. The use of fabric on each of the page is also a clever use of texture. Great for a ks1 class.

Αστείο με δόση φαντασίας και πραγματικότητας μαζί.

This one is adorable. And I love all the little detail in the illustration.
