Denna första del i serien skrevs redan 1992, men kom ut i svensk översättning först förra året.
Omslaget är lockande och tilltalar säkert målgruppen, men det stör att bilderna inte stämmer med bokens innehåll, som om illustratören inte ens har läst texten. Omslaget är gjort av en annan illustratör än originalillustrationerna inuti boken, och min fyraåring säger precis det som jag tänker:
"Men! De ser ju inte som barnen inne i boken. Och pojken ser ju gammal ut!"
Den flygande skräcködlan är förstås effektfull, men scenen på framsidan finns inte med i boken - inte ens något som liknar den. Och trädkojan på baksidan är ju fantastiskt fin, men ser helt annorlunda ut än kojan inuti boken (som dessutom ska ha en repstege!). Det känns slarvigt och onödigt så det blir minuspoäng för det. Barn är inte dumma och ouppmärksamma - de ser att utsidan inte stämmer överens med insidan.
Men det är en bra berättelse, lämplig både för högläsning och läsning på egen hand. Luftig layout och många bilder. Både jag och min son tyckte om den och ser fram emot att läsa nästa del.… (mer)
