Written on April 28, 2008 Summary: Wonderful Book! This book is a short biography of Barbara Conney's great Aunt Alice Rumphius, who grew up in New England, loved the sea, and wanted to visit faraway places. And also had an objective to do something to make the world more beautiful. I have always loved this book and have had that very same goal ever since the fifth grade when our homeroom teacher read it to us. The book concludes when Barbara Cooney the author says that her Aunt Alice (Miss Rumphius,) tells her that she too needs to do something to make the world more beautiful. But even SHE doesn't know yet what that could be. I personally think that she made the world more beautiful by writing and illustrated this masterpiece. Everybody young and old should have a copy. Written on March 24, 2008 Summary: Miss Rumphius This book is beautifully illustrated and is an even more beautiful story of the passing on of values intergenerationally. We have read the soft-covered version to our daughter so often that it is in tatters and we needed to invest in the hard-covered version. Great Aunt Alice spends her life learning how she will choose to make the world a more beautiful place and passes the challenge to do the same to the next generation. If my daughter spends her life living the message of this book, I will have succeeded as a parent. Thank you Barbara Cooney for another great book! Written on February 18, 2008 Summary: gift idea This book is one of my all-time favorites. What an inspirational story of living life with intention! Many reviewers here have already shared the details of the story, so I will simply add that this book makes a lovely gift- just tuck in a packet of lupine seeds! Written on January 18, 2008 Summary: Great book, great message This was my daughter's favorite book when she was young. We purchased it this year for our friends' daughter. The story is sweet and it has a message that we should all try to make the world a better place. Written on December 22, 2007 Summary: I LOVE This Book As a Pre-K teacher I read this book to my 4 year-olds and each group of children loved it. I've read it many times now and each time I read it, I get a really good feeling from it. If you're a parent looking for a good, thoughtful book, this is one of the best. If your child is four or five, you might want to break the reading into two or three parts; leave off at a really good part and you'll keep your kids on the edge of their seats waiting for the next reading. It always worked for my little ones. This story gets them thinking-great discussion book. |
