商品簡介
CLYDE DOESN'T GO OUTSIDE is a picture book that appeals to a very wide spread of ages. It will sell in both the children's and adult areas of any bookstore. "Clyde" is a perfect preschool lap book for bedtime. In its still, sleepy setting we wonder if Clyde is awake or dreaming what he sees. Toddlers will laugh at the detailed pictures of the animals in Clyde's yard and at the limericks that describe them. The grown up readers will lead the children into the subtlety of the art. Older children will enjoy finding the many hidden surprises in the pictures, and the animals hidden in the final spread. They will be inspired to make up their own animal limericks—in the classroom or on their own. The book inspires children to exercise their own imaginations of what else Clyde might see. Snyder's carefully observed, sensuous renderings of Clyde have certain, deep appeal for cat lovers. For any reader of any age, the art makes this a book to return to time after time. The rich layering and the subtle, wordless stories embedded in the pictures make every viewing a new and deeper experience of pleasure and imagination. Upper Hand Press also offers post cards that reprint pictures from the book.
