《Danny and the dinosaur》英语

From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3-Four complete books by Syd Hoff from HarperCollins' I Can Read series are included here. One of the dinosaurs in the museum comes to life and spends the day with a young boy and his friends in Danny and the Dinosaur (HarperCollins, 1986). In Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur! (HarperCollins, 1995), the dinosaur is back to celebrate Danny's sixth birthday. The dinosaur welcomes a vacation when Danny and the Dinosaur Go to Camp (HarperCollins, 1996), and he doesn't seem to mind when all the kids and the camp counselor ride on his back after a tiring hike. Sammy and the Seal (HarperCollins, 2000) tells the story of a seal on an adventure out of the zoo and into the town, including learning to read and write at school. Peter Lorangis and Charles Mintz alternate telling the stories using delightful voices and clear narration, perfect for young listeners. There are no page turn signals or sound effects, but whimsical musical accompaniment adds to the playfulness of the stories. The only thing missing is the charming and comical illustrations that make the stories so much fun to read. The wonderful narration and music make the audiocassette a joy to listen to, but if you don't want to miss out on the visual humor have the books handy for read-alongs. April R.

When he sees one at the museum and says, "It would be nice to play with a dinosaur," a voice answers, "And I think it would be nice to play with you." So begins Danny and the Dinosaur's wonderful adventures together. For Danny and his prehistoric playmate, even the most everyday activities become extraordinary, like finding a big-enough place to hide a dinosaur in a game of hide-and-seek. Kids will delight in Syd Hoff's charming, comical illustrations as they read about how Danny teaches a very old dinosaur some new tricks. Originally published over 50 years ago, this beloved classic is a Level 1 I Can Read that is perfect for the beginning reader learning to sound out words and sentences. Supports the Common Core Learning Standards Review "It is a great pleasure to see what miracles can be wrought with simple words, imagination, and understanding of children." -- Language Arts From the Back Cover Danny's on the town with a real live dinosaur. From the ballpark to the zoo, these two are having one hundred million years of fun—all in one day! About the Author Syd Hoff was a much-loved and much-read author and illustrator of numerous books for children, most notably the Danny and the Dinosaur titles and Sammy the Seal. Born and raised in New York City, he studied at the National Academy of Design and sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker when he was eighteen. His cartoons became regular features in many magazines and newspapers. Sid Hoff was born in 1912 and died in 2004, at ninety-one. His books continue to delight readers worldwide. From AudioFile Danny and the lovable dinosaur, who leaves the museum to play with Danny and his friends, are the focus of three of four stories on this audiobook. The fourth is about Sammy the Seal's day away from the zoo. The stories are simple and cheerful, concentrating on children's quotidian activities. There is no violence, and everyone behaves well throughout. The stories are read clearly and relatively slowly by Peter Lorangis and Charles Mintz, who both add just the right number of funny voices to keep things engaging. The simple text does make one wish for an accompanying book with pictures to follow. Nonetheless, this is a nice collection, just right for the under-6 set.
