Thank You, Mr. Falker BSE253

US$17.95

Fans of author's work know well her talent for weaving her colorful family history throughout her picture books. Here Polacco shares her childhood triumph over dyslexia and discovery of reading in an inspiring if slightly formulaic story. Young Trisha is eager to taste the "sweetness of knowledge" that her grandfather has always revered (here symbolized by drizzling honey onto a book and tasting it, which harkens back to Polacco's earlier The Bee Tree). But when she looks at words and numbers, everything is a jumble. Trisha endures the cruel taunts of classmates who call her "dumb," and falls behind in her studies. But finally the encouragement and efforts of a new fifth grade teacher, Mr. Falker, trigger a monumental turning point in Trisha's life. She begins to blossom and develop all of her talents, including reading. Polacco's tale is all the more heartfelt because of its personal nature. Young readers struggling with learning difficulties will identify with Trisha's situation and find reassurance in her success. Author's gouache-and-pencil compositions deftly capture the emotional stages? frustration, pain, elation? of Trisha's journey. The book comes with the special issue. Ages 4-8.

小派翠西亞非常興奮,因為她快要上學讀書了。
可是,上學以後,她打開書來讀,書上的文字和數字
擠成一堆,她根本分辨不清。

《謝謝您,福柯老師》是派翠西亞.波拉蔻小時候的真實故事,
描繪她如何克服障礙,學會閱讀,以及她的恩師如何開啟了那扇
緊鎖的門,帶領她進入光明……。
