It's going to be a hard job finding a partner for a mom so unusual, but this little girl is determined to try

 

What makes a dad ideal? Is he strong as a superhero or handsome as a movie star? Is he intelligent or sporty? Or is he just good at jigsaw puzzles and has lots of hair? One little girl is about to find out in this funny, charming, and ultimately moving story of her search for a dad who can measure up to the mom she loves. Together, she and mom draw up a list of all the things they want in a dad and place a notice in the paper—only to discover dozens of candidates lining up outside the house the very next day! In the end, the successful candidate is a long distance from what they thought they wanted, but he's special too—in his own way. This immensely positive and entertaining book, told from a child's point of view in memorable rhythmic language, is for any child reflecting on what makes their dad so great. With the lightest of touches, and without any loss of entertainment value, it also tells the story of a quirky single-parent family’s happy transition into a blended family.

یه کتاب جالب در مورد کودکی که پدر نداره و حالا دنبال یه بابائه، که مثل مامانش کامل باشه. قوی باشه، قدبلند باشه، خوشگل باشه، موهای خوشگل داشته باشه، جورچین دوست داشت باشه؛ اما در نهایت بابایی رو پیدا می‌کنه که مهربونه، کلی شعر بلده، قصه براش می‌خونه و غیره.

Edad recomendada: 3 a 5 años.
Tema: Familias monoparentales.
El cuento lo narra el propio niño protagonista, que describe a su madre como lo mejor de lo mejor en todos los aspectos, pero dice que está sola y que como los demás niños tienen un papá, él quiere uno, pero no uno cualquiera, uno a la "altura" de su madre", por lo que ponen un anuncio y encuentran a uno, que aunque no es lo que buscaban, resulta ser bueno y lo quiere.
Realmente el niño se basa mucho en cuestiones "físicas", pero al final acaba dándose cuenta de que es mejor, lo que "no se ve", aunque me hubiera gustado que hablara más de eso al final y no se acabara tan abruptamente, por lo demás, está bien.

Je pense que le texte s'adresse plutôt aux mamans... Qu'importe, les filles ont adoré quand même, peut-être à cause des illustrations en gros plan qui rappellent "Amélie Poulain". Enfin bref, sur mesure...

Davide Cali é um autor suíço residente na Itália que escreve quadrinhos, teatro, livros infantis, colunas e organiza exposições: versátil.

Anna Laura Cantone, italiana, é uma das principais ilustradoras contemporâneas, com mais de quarenta livros publicados em vários países.

O livro é de um texto simples, adequado a um público de pequena idade. É a história de uma menina sem pai que assiste à mãe escolhendo um novo pai. Situação bastante atual e tratada com leveza e inteligência, até porque do ponto de vista infantil. Ilustrações divertidas, muito coloridas e com colagens também contribuem para a linguagem da obra, tornando-a atraente para pequenos leitores.

A edição muito bem cuidada sob todos os aspectos é uma marca da Cosac Naify, importante casa que revolucionou o mercado editorial brasileiro. Infelizmente, anunciou o encerramento de suas atividades ao final de 2015. Então, os títulos tendem a se esgotar com o tempo e não serem reimpressos. Assim, é aconselhável adquiri-los enquanto estão disponíveis.

Af en toe kan ik het niet laten en snuffel ik in de bib nog eens stiekem in de bakken met prentenboeken.
Het zal wel niet kloppen, maar 'goede' prentenboeken staan of vallen bij mij al snel bij de kracht van de illustraties.
Als die net dat 'ietsje meer' kunnen bieden, wat humor aan het verhaal kunnen geven, de inhoud wat extra uitdiepen, origineel uit de hoek komen van stijl,... ben ik al snel voor het boek gewonnen.
Zo kan ik zalig verpozen bij de prachtige tekenstijl van een Wolf Erlbruch, een Carll Cneut of Klaas Verplancke.
Maar kan ik even goed genieten van de humor in de tekenstijl van een Babette Cole.
Of deze dus: Anna Laura Cantone, die met haar voorliefde voor 'diepwarm rood', knollige mensenfiguren en een 'grapje links en rechts', het verhaal net de extra input gaf, die het nodig had.
