review 1: So unusual, particularly the last line. Garmann starts out scared and he ends up scared too. Because that's what happens right before starting school for the first time. You're scared, but you do it anyway. Even adults are scared, the adults in this very book. And Garmann's aunts talk to him about something really scary: death. But that's not so bad after all either.Oh and the artwork is mind-blowing.
review 2: Garmann grapples with the fear of beginning school and saying goodbye to a number of parts of his childhood and family, all within the whimsical, hazy fabric of a summer. Garmann's Summer's profound undertones are sophisticated, moving, and the hallmark of a picture book published outside of the United States. There is no denying the oddly grotesque natu... morere of the art in this book, but it's genuinely arresting and powerful, using gorgeous collage work and vintage elements.Suggest to: children beginning school, adults looking for picture books with remarkable art, sophisticated subject matter, or published outside of the US, any patron looking for a special read. less
