摘要
Danielle can draw amazing things, fantastic things, odd and wonderful things. But her father is worried. Selling his photographs provides only a meager income, and of what practical use are strange drawings, no matter how pretty? Danielle tries, but she just can't help drawing the world her way. Finally, one fateful day, she manages to find the road to her future, a path full of her fanciful creatures.

K-Gr 3Softly colored pen-and-ink drawings on ivory paper show a young girl of the last century sketching the world around her. She sees with the eye of the imaginationsurrealistic creatures, fish with wings, animals in frock coats, and skies full of roses. Her father, an elderly photographer, takes pictures with his tripod and bellows camera, and urges her to "...draw what is real." When he falls ill, the girl struggles to continue his work but fails. Good fortune brings Danielle to the studio of a successful woman painter where she finds an apprenticeship and a collection of fanciful paintings much like her own. Some adults may question the simplistic view that photos are "real" and paintings are "imaginative," and the story itself is contrived to expound upon this theme. Still, the pictures, which are reminiscent of the work of Kate Greenaway and Leslie Brooke, are delightfully antique, and the book should encourage young artists to follow their flights of fancy.Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ (c) Copyright 2010.

It is turn-of-the-century Paris, and Danielle loves to draw: "dancing storks and dashing foxesthe more fantastic the better." Her photographer father encourages her to try realistic pictures, but Danielle's imagination is so wild it can't be restrained. An attempt to sketch Parisians strolling along the Seine results in the bare trees bursting with giant roses, two well-dressed birds walking a carp on a leash, a giraffe munching the vegetables that decorate her hat. McClintock (Animal Fables from Aesop) presents these apparitions in deadpan illustrations; the only nod to their provenance is the image of Danielle, bent over her sketchbook. When Danielle's father falls ill, the girl finds work with one Madame Beton, who paints fantastic pictures with great skill; Danielle has found a mentor. The book's color scheme and format recall delicate late Victorian vignettes, but Danielle's whimsical drawings gently satirize that simple prettiness. The delicious celebration of creativity is grounded by McClintock's subtle portrait of the tiny family: Danielle's father will probably never understand her art, but he loves her and admires her resourcefulness. Enticingand an inspiration to young artists. Ages 4-8. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Danielle loves to draw fanciful pictures of animals, but her photographer father sees the world more realistically. Detailed sepia pen drawings with brown-tinted watercolor washes resemble early Edwardian wood engravings. The pictures seem to set the story in Paris around 1890. Readers will enjoy comparing the actual street scenes with Danielle's versions, which change the people to wildly dressed animals. From HORN BOOK 1996, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
Danielle's adored Papa is a rumpled, bespectacled photographer in turn-of-the-century Paris. Danielle wants Papa to appreciate her whimsical drawings, but he doesn't understand her fanciful nature. When Papa can't sell his photographs and falls ill, Danielle goes out to earn a living as a photographer. Struggling to set up the camera in the snow, Danielle finds a patron--and validation of her own artistic spirit--in a successful woman painter of imaginary landscapes. She instantly hires Danielle to work in her studio and sends her home to a worried and appreciative Papa with a week's wages in advance. Romantic in setting and sensibility, this story has the quality of a fantasy in which a girl's wishes for communion with her father and support as an artist are fulfilled. The pen- and-ink-and-watercolor illustrations are beautifully done, especially the ones that show the world magically transformed in Danielle's eye. (Picture book. 6-8)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Ages 4^-7. Living in late-nineteenth-century Paris with her father, a photographer, little Danielle accompanies him each day to the broad streets, where he photographs the people passing by. While he works, she draws the same scenes, but somehow the people in her pictures turn into fantastic creatures such as walking fish and elegantly attired birds, cats, and mice. When Papa becomes ill, Danielle cares for him until the money runs out, then has the good fortune to become apprenticed to a painter who shares her fanciful visions. Recalling period engravings with their fine use of line and restrained use of tints (becoming a little brighter for the child's artwork), the attractive pictures include many finely composed scenes as well as charming vignettes of Danielle in action. Clearly an illustrator's picture book, this will speak to the artist in many children. --Carolyn Phelan
