K-Gr 2-- Thompson combines colorful paintings of whimsical houses with children's definitions of what home means to them. The illustrations are attractive (especially the cover), and although there are few human figures shown, all the homes look lived in, whether part of a tree, built into a wall, or part of a comfortable easy chair. The students' quotes are charming and thought-provoking: ``I like home, it is where you grow,'' ``What I really like about home is that it will always be there and never go away,'' ``Home is my parents. You should have love in all homes,'' ``Home is a place where you can be free.'' This is reminiscent of Ruth Krauss's A Hole Is to Dig (HarperCollins, 1952) but without as much variety. Unfortunately, there is no connection between the pictures and the text except the theme. --JoAnn Rees, Sunnyvale Public Library, CA (c) Copyright 2010.

出版社周刊评论
Images from several of Thompson's calendars are paired here with brief quotations from children about the meaning of home. The result is an often visually interesting but uncohesive work. The paintings combine sharp-edged realism with surreal details: houses grow from trees or out of chairs or bathtubs; interiors flow seamlessly into exteriors; cats are larger than cars. They are provocative but not strongly narrative images, and the quotations that accompany them, which express genuine but generally unremarkable, even trite, sentiments (``Home means where you grow up''), do not extend them in any meaningful way. In fact, text and art often seem only very generally related; and the disjunction between the ordinary emotions and the sometimes quite bizarre images proves jarring. Although Thompson's pictures can be intriguing to contemplate singly, the attempt to weave them together into a larger whole--with the thinnest of texts as connnecting thread--seems misguided and ultimately fails.

The book juxtaposes children's thoughts on the meaning of home with Thompson's illustrations. With repetitious art that only occasionally matches the text, the outcome is directionless and gimmicky.

Kirkus评论
Thompson (The Paper Bag Prince, 1992) brings his extraordinary imagination and meticulously detailed style to surreal interpretations of some British schoolchildren's haiku- length descriptions of their homes (``Home is my parents./You should have love in all homes./Love is my parents.''--Ian, 10). The visual theme is cozily miniaturized houses, often complete with their own gardens, set in the larger environment--ensconced in a grass-green armchair with a smaller landscape in its lap; high in a tree (which in one case is growing from a bathtub); in the gatepost of a stately home; between the garbage pails in a paved-over backyard; nestled in a wheelbarrow. The juxtapositions are intriguing, while dozens of clues to the smaller ménages--the odd window, bicycle, or staircase--are tucked in unexpected corners of the larger ones. There's an occasional wry comment- -Tony's ``Home should have two computers'' gets a cold, elegantly austere setting--but mostly this is less a direct response to specific words than a unique tribute to British homes in all their variety. A fascinating book, to pore over and share. (Picture book. 5+)
