adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Intermediate grades read aloud. A wonderful reminder for people of all ages. Every library needs a copy of this “tale of a caterpillar who has trouble becoming what he really is…” At first glance you may think it's a children's book but it's not. All about the rat race and getting ahead and wondering if it's worth it. My copy is from 1972 and it has a definite '70s' feel (which is not a bad thing in this case). A high school teacher read it in class one day and I fell in love, buying my own copy some years later. All handwritten gives it a special 'loving' feel. On the back cover from the author: a different sort of book for everyone except those who have given up completely (and even they might secretly enjoy it) I cry everytime I read this. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0809117541, Paperback)Hope's theme of life, moving through seeming death to a new and more beautiful life, has touched the hearts of millions of people. Hope for the Flowers is for young and old, lovers, husbands and wives. It's a book to learn to read with, or to comfort those who are dying or grieving. In the tale, the caterpillar heroes, Stripe and Yellow, want something more from life than eating and growing bigger. They get caught up in a "caterpillar pillar," a squirming mass of bodies, each determined to reach a top so far away it can't be seen. Finally disillusioned, they discover that the way for the caterpillars to find their particular "more," who they really are, is to enter the cocoon and "...risk for the butterfly." Hope for the Flowers has helped people gain the courage to leave jobs, change their lives and explore their love for another human being. Two million copies in print.(retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:16 -0400) A primeira ronda de testes foi já encerrada. Visite o grupo Open Shelves Classification para mais informação. |
