A Bumblebee Sweater
Autor Betty Waterton Ilustrat de Kim LaFaveen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2012 – vârsta de la 3 până la 7 ani
Grandma Needlethorpe knits a sweater for her granddaughter Nellie's role as a bumblebee in the upcoming spring concert. And the result is a huge success - even though the sleeves have to be rolled up and the sweater hangs well past Nellie's knees. A delighted Nellie can't wait to show it off to her school chums, but each time she wears the sweater, Nellie gets into a scrape. And after several trips to the washer and dryer, the rapidly shrinking sweater finally fits her perfectly. But Nellie must wear the sweater one more time before the concert. And one more sweater mishap proves to be the last straw. The bumblebee sweater comes out of the dryer much too small for Nellie. Now it's no good for anyone except the family dog.
But Nellie doesn't mind; she's going to wear a flower costume in the concert. Too bad there won't be a bumblebee on stage after all . . . or will there?

Recenzii
"A story that finds humor in a grandmothers failing eyesight and her granddaughters ability to get messy, Watertonsnineteenth childrens book is a gentle tribute to good intentions, no matter how they turn out. Grandma Needlethorpe sets the action off by knitting a huge sweater for her small granddaughter to wear for her spring concert. Nellie adores the sweaterI like it big. Itll keep my knees warmand wears it at every occasion. A succession of LaFaves pastel-bright drawings capture a wild-haired, sweater-wearing Nellie slipping and sliding in all sorts of food, dirt, and farm muck. By the time of the concert, Nellies mother has washed the sweater so much that it fits only the family dog. But no worries. When Grandmagets a photograph from the concert, she mistakes the familys dog for her granddaughter: Just look at those other children in her class. My, theyre really HUGE beside our Nellie. Freewheeling, gently washed, line-and-watercolor illustrations complete this funny package."
