I libri delle Stagioni #4
Potulky jeseňou
Kniha ocenená množstvom cien vyniká z radu detskej literatúry a teší sa obľube u čitateľov najmä vďaka jej všetrannému využitiu. Pri listovaní knižkou sa dieťaťu rozvíja nielen pamäť a pozorovací talent, ale rozširuje si aj slovnú zásobu a vo veľkej miere sa zlepšuje aj jeho schopnosť koncentrácie. Séria kníh sa skladá z piatich samostatných knižiek, ktoré na seba nadväzujú postavami, miestami, či zvieratkami. Dieťa sleduje ich príbehy zo stránky na stránku a predostierajú sa pred neho každodenné, známe udalosti. Momentálne vyšli v preklade Potulky jeseňou a zimou.

I actually review all four books - Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall together, so will post the same review for the individual books.
All Around Bustletown - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall - are a series of delightful wordless giant-sized board books that follow the adventures of adults, children, animals, birds, and even objects as they go about their day.
The illustrations are charming, bright and colorful, elaborately detailed, and with the definite feeling of an old-fashioned German storybook, not surprising since they were originally published in Germany. In fact, in German, these would be called Wimmelbücher, wordless picture books of everyday scenes that are chockablock with details and each scene is connected to the others by the setting. In this case, that would be Bustletown. The detailed images that are just teeming with activity are why these books have been compared to Martin Handford's Where's Waldo books.
What I found to be really nice about these books is that there are recurring characters from book to book and each of the two page spreads give readers a cross-section view inside buildings that is reminiscent of the back of a dollhouse, and a panoramic view of what happening in the outdoor images. Each book follows the same format - starting from home (as you can see from the illustrations below) and then on to the city with stops at a farm and garage, then a small fish store and a large train station, turn the page and you arrive at a school under construction across the street from a cultural center, keep going and the center of town offers all kinds of stores and activities, this is followed by a visit to a department store for some shopping and finally a visit to a beautiful busy park. Of course, everything has a different look and feel to it thanks to the changing seasons. And yes, there is a kind of sequencing to the books. In the Winter book, the school is nothing more that a foundation. In the Spring and Summer books, readers can follow the progress of the school's construction, until the Fall when it finally opens.
And though the four All Around Bustletown books have a Where's Waldo feel to them, the books don't have a specific task attached to them, like finding a hidden object/Waldo in all the hustle and bustle. Instead, these books promote not only observational strategies, but also introduce young readers to story telling skills. And my kids had no trouble following the recurring characters. Cornelia Rémi, an expert on the Wimmelbuch, considers them to be a form of playing, an idea I particularly like. So, since we had all four books, we placed them on the floor in seasonal order, beginning with winter.
Conveniently, the back of each book highlights and names the main characters, so that each of my kids could choose a character to follow through each book and then each season, making up stories based on that was happening and what the character was doing along the way. What appeared to be chaos on each page began to become more ordered as they made up stories and gave purpose to each character. That was really a lot of lively fun and since there are more citizens in Bustletown than I have young readers, everyone got more than one character to story about.
All Around Bustletown - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall has turned me into a big fan these wonderful interactive books. Each one has eight panoramic pages filled with activity and people, and reflecting the holidays of the seasons. And based on my experience, they are guaranteed to keep kids busy for quite a while. And at a time when many of us can't go out and about the way we used to, maybe a visit to Bustletown is just the ticket.
These books are recommended for readers age 4+

A fun book for following the townspeople through town during the Fall.

Librojuego con escenas otoñales donde los niños pueden encontrar diferentes personajes y buscar a Nicolás. Para niños muy pequeños y con texto mínimo.

Me gusta mucho. Cada vez que lo abres, encuentras un detalle nuevo. También puedes seguir a los personajes por las páginas y cada uno te cuenta una historia distinta. Es un libro que no cansa.

И двамата със сина ми станахме големи почитатели на поредицата гъмжащи книги за улица “Черешова” на Ротраут Сузане Бернер, издавани от “Колибри”.
До преди да излезе първата от тях на български в края на миналата есен, а именно “Зима на “улица Черешова” бях срещала информация за въпросните гъмжащи книги и тук-там бях попадала на подобни, но вярвам, че едва сега те започват да стават популярни и в България, точно благодарение на тази поредица.
Тя продължава с “Пролет на улица “Черешова”, а после и с “Лято”, която ние ще видим чак догодина.
Но пък в момента, актуално за сезона, можем да се радваме на “Есен на улица “Черешова”. И наистина, аз лично много се вълнувах за излизането й и я очаквах - хем, за да я добавя към есенните книги на сина ми, хем защото знам, че ще ни осигури много, ама много часове кротки занимания. А и, признавам си, защото вече ми беше омръзнало да разглеждаме “Пролет”... от пролетта насам.
Поредицата е много зарибяваща, защото има герои, които се срещат във всичките книги и е много любопитно да проследиш сега кой какво прави. Във всяка книга има и по някой и друг нов главен персонаж. А иначе е изпъстрена с много хора, вършещи най-различни неща, които провокират много разговори с детето - кой какво прави, защо го прави, каква емоция изрязава лицето му. Колкото повече расте детето, толкова по-обстойни можете да сте в разучаването на т.нар. вимелбух книги.
Аз мога да кажа, че много развиват наблюдателността. И паметта дори ако щете. Освен това са подходящи за различни възрасти - когато разглеждахме “Зима” миналата година, синът ми беше на година и половина и сега е все така запленен. Убедена съм, че още няколко години ще се забавлява с тях.
Понеже е за “улица “Черешова”, съответно едни и същи сцени са разгледани сред страниците на всичките книги. Една голяма къща, една ферма, площада, мола, културния център, парка… Интересно е да се проследи и какви промени настъпват през различните сезони и как се променя пейзажа. Ето, сега не само, че има паднали листа, но и на фермерския пазар се продават по-различни неща, отколкото през пролетта, а героите са сменили облеклото си подобаващо.
Наистина, детайлите в тази поредица са смайващи. Дори и аз откривам нови и нови неща при всяко разглеждане на книгата и се изумявам на начина, по който са “навързани” всичките герои, страници и сезони дори.
Препоръчвам силно “Есен на улица “Черешова” на Ротраут Сузане Бернер, както и останалите книги, според сезона.

Everywhere in Bustletown people are getting things done, going to a space museum, doing their shopping, finding lost objects, taking dance lessons, raking up leaves, and tending to the animals. Everywhere you look there is something interesting happening and a story line to follow!
I love the colorful and detailed illustrations! Each page is beautifully drawn with fun little details to draw the reader in. I'm 37 years old, and I was fascinated with each beautiful scene!
It's so fun to search for people in the hustle and bustle of the scenery and follow them from page to page as their little story unfolds. Two people buy an enormous pumpkin, and enter a pumpkin carving contest. Children bring colored lanterns and lights to an evening concert in the park.
The simple stories of each person are full of humor and surprises as they find themselves in hilarious situations. Everything is so ordinary, but strangely fascinating at the same time. They hang up fall festival decorations, fly a kite, meet a friend for coffee, or take a nap. It's charming and fun!
This book is perfect for little readers to search for individual people and items in the pages! My nieces both adore these books, and they are 8 months old and 2 years old!

Bustletown in the Fall is a delight. So many delightful activities to talk about. The Fall Festival. The Fall dance. The kindergarten pumpkin walk. The weather is cooling off, the air is brisk, the leaves are everywhere. A delight!
I found it quite interesting to open all four books to the same scenes and compare the activities for each season. Also, it was interesting to see the progression of a project taking place - such as repair of the church.
On the back cover of each season in the Bustletown series, individual characters are drawn and it will be fun to watch for them in each of the books. Some are repeated and some are not. That is the case in any town and especially in Bustletown.
Beneath the characters on the back cover there is also a question, thought, or statement parents care read to their child to guide them in looking for actions and objects on the pages. Other than this page of text, the books are essentially "wordless."
The possibilities of observation and story telling are virtually endless with the individuals, activities, buildings, seasons, and life in general.

Fall is the last in the ALL AROUND BUSTLETOWN series and just like the others, it reminds me of everything there is to love about the season. Fall is my favorite season and I truly loved looking at everything going on in the community of Bustletown in the fall.
Bustletown is much like every other community. The kids are going back to school. A fall festival is happening. The leaves are being raked. Pumpkins are being carved. Lots of joy can be found on the pages and well as gorgeous fall illustrations of trees and harvest.
Kids can follow specific characters through the pages to see what they are up to like the couple hauling their huge pumpkin into town for the fall fest.
Every time you look through this book, there will be something new to find because there is so much activity on each page whether you are in the country or the city. The lantern parade for the opening of Kindergarten is my favorite part, especially the nun carrying the penguin lantern. Kids and parents will enjoy this book and making up their own stories about the characters and people of Bustletown. Make sure you get all four books to complete your series!

Questo libro appartiene ad una serie di quattro Wimmelbilderbuch dedicati alle stagioni. Cos'è un Wimmelbilderbuch? È un libro illustrato di grande formato, quasi completamente senza parole e brulicante (questo il significato letterale di wimmeln) di immagini. Se infatti c'è una storia di fondo che si dipana per tutto il libro, ogni scena (che si sviluppa sulla doppia pagina) illustra un ambiente, un momento della giornata, un luogo... ed è ricchissima di elementi tutti illustrati fin nei minimi dettagli e tutti da scoprire. Si può seguire la vicenda di un personaggio da una scena all'altra, perdersi nell'analizzare tutti i particolari raffigurati negli spaccati delle abitazioni, trovare cose che si ripetono nascoste nelle varie pagine...
Si tratta di un tipo di libro veramente stimolante perché allena la capacità di osservazione, non stanca mai, ogni volta che lo si apre si scoprono nuovi dettagli, e permette di esercitare la fantasia inventando storie sulla miriade di personaggi che lo popolano.
Divertimento assicurato!

Септември е тук и листата вече започват да се обагрят в топли нюанси – есента чука на вратата, а с нея идва и най-новата книга от обичаната поредица на Ротраут Сузане Бернер – „Есен на улица Черешова“ (изд. „Колибри“). Това великолепно „вимелбух“ издание отново ни кани да се потопим в безкрайното оживление на любимата улица, където всяка страница кипи от живот и движение. Бернер разказва безброй малки истории – за деца, които тръгват в новата детска градина с шествие с фенери, за празничната музика и танци на градския фестивал, за конкурсите за най-голяма тиква, за завръщането на изгубени домашни любимци и срещата със стари приятели.

Fall brings a swift breeze perfect for flying kites. There is just enough chill in the air and the leaves begin to fall from the trees. Fall is a sign that winter is coming. The wind has picked up and this busy community has changed their attire and are picking pumpkins and watching the birds go south for the winter. The last carnival of the year has brought out lots of friends and families to celebrate. Kids are picking out their Halloween fair and having fun.
This fun little book is filled with tons of fall activities. Kids will have fun looking at all of the imagery and finding their favorite things. There’s food, animals, kites, pumpkins and so much more. This cool no words book will have kids creating their own stories. Parents and teachers can use this tool to teach words, colors, shapes and more.

I read the Chinese edition of the series. I have given it to children from 5 to 11. Interestingly, not everyone find the story. Some are drawn to shapes and interesting details of the story. Some can tell that a pet parrot is lost and everyone is looking for it. Most of them can identify the season, and the festival in it. I think it is very welcoming book for reluctant reader. It is also a test of the story telling ability of children. If I have time, I think it is also a tool to teach children story telling.

Not a written story, but there's so much to look at on each page. I loved hunting for Niko and following folks to the lantern festival. A real delight. The type of thing to read before and after a day on the town with young readers.

Ahhhh, this book gives me the feels. Soothing and beautiful fall.

Classic, high-quality search-and-find picture books with innate cultural value. Take a trip to the fictious town of Wimmelingen and see what's happening!

This is a wordless oversized board book. In the back cover are pictures to find in the pages. Didn't overly interest my 4yo son. Definitely looks dated

invigorating, interesting book! i read it in one sitting and just couldn't put it down

La edición es muy llamativa. La encuadernación es cartonado, ideal para que los más peques de la casa puedan cogerlo sin peligro de romper o mojar sus páginas. También tiene un tamaño bastante grande. Aunque en su página web pone que es para un público infantil de 0 a 2 años, he de decir que mi hija tiene 5 años y que le ha gustado mucho, sobre todo ir buscando al loro en cada página.

Even when we're not stuck inside due to a pandemic, my big girls (ages 2, 4, and 6) spend a lot of time looking at books. This set of four oversized board books, which wordlessly depict the busy lives of the residents of Bustletown during each season of the year, have been a huge hit with all three, and have been especially good for keeping them entertained for long periods of time while we're under a stay-at-home order. My six-year-old enjoys looking at the back cover to learn the characters' names and then following certain ones through the book to find out where they go and what they do. My four-year-old likes looking for the animals who recur on each page, especially Niko the parrot. And my two-year-old loves that she can "read" these books all on her own without having to ask a grown-up or sibling to read aloud to her. We think your kids would like them too!

Obě s dcerou milujeme knížky od této autorky, opravdu jsem zatím nenašla konkurenci. Všech 5 dílů (Jaro, Léto, Podzim, Zima, Noc) je bezkonkurenčních v tzv. kategorii "hledacích" knížek. Báječný mi také přijde formát, větší A4 a že se jedná o pevné desky, takže děti jen tak lehce nezničí. Vtipné, nápadité, hledací, prostě skvělé. Pro děti od cca 1,5 let do 99 let klidně, pokaždé najdete něco jiného, co vás zaujme. Příběhy postav na sebe navazují, ale můžete si vytvářet i příběhy své vlastní, je to prostě pecka :-)

The best children’s book ever. Without text but with unfailing and limitless possibilities for having fun with your children. Warmly recommended!
