Typewriter

És justament el que promet. I no és freqüent que la trama estigui a l'altura quan les il·lustracions son tan magnífiques. Però no només està molt ben trobada aquesta història d'emigració i integració sinó la singularitat d'un punt de vista insòlit: una màquina d'escriure explica la seva peripècia. Té molts elements narratius de gran força dramàtica. Recomano aquest àlbum fins i tot perquè els infants comencin a fer les seves primeres lectures en anglès.

My child was delighted with this book. She is so used to the "plastic" Mickey Mouse & Co. characters, that she was studying the graphics for hours. Of course the story itself is great: My daughter was entertained by a typewriter that has its own "voice" and I enjoy the story that is so familiar to so many Soviet immigrants, told from a new perspective. Now this book proudly stands right next to Eva Chen's Juno Valentine.

What a treat this book is - original masterful illustrations coupled with a child-friendly story of immigration, friends lost and found, different cultures and times! Everything about this book is unique - its main character (a Russian typewriter!), the simple yet captivating plot and every page filled with colorful pictures that make the story and not just illustrate it. My 10-year-old daughter, 3-year-old nephews and 80-year-old mother all couldn’t put it down! Ordering more copies to give as gifts throughout the year!!
