摘要
Vendela has long been fascinated by Venice, where the streets are canals, the cars are boats, and the houses are palaces. Finally her father takes her on a special spring trip to the city, which turns out to be every bit as fairy-tale-like as he has promised. Vendela visits her special friends, the four golden horses in St. Mark's Basilica. She hunts winged lions, meets a terrible dragon, and explores colorful candy stores and samples almond-syrup milk. But there are more floods in Venice every year. Will it still be there when Vendela grows up? As did Linnea in Monet's Garden, Vendela in Venice offers a wonderful introduction to the excitement of travel, art, and culture. Inga-Karin Eriksson's lovingly detailed illustrations of Venice will fire the imaginations of young readers and their parents whether they read the book at home or take it along on a trip to Italy.

Gr 4-7-What Bjrk's Linnea in Monet's Garden (R & S, 1987) accomplished in revealing the beauty of French Impressionism, this book achieves in unveiling the magic of Venice. Vendela lives in Stockholm, sometimes called the "Venice of the North," and her fondness for the copies of the magnificent Venetian horse statues at St. Mark's have created in her a desire to experience the Italian city firsthand. Thirty short chapters describe her weeklong sojourn there with her father. Information on glassblowing and gondola construction is presented as naturally as Vendela's disgust at the slaughtered animals in the market and her delight at tiramisu and almond-flavored milk. Photographs; reproductions of paintings, postcards, and ticket stubs; and other realia are paired with Eriksson's skillful watercolors. Adept at both figures and scenery, the artist captures the character of the city-the mystery of the moonlit palaces; the omnipresent cats, pigeons, and flapping laundry; the dazzle and scale of St. Mark's Square. A map of places visited adorns the endpapers. End matter includes tips for travelers, historical tidbits, a time line, and a list of of guidebooks and adult fiction. A must-read for armchair and actual travel enthusiasts, the book will also provide accurate and easily accessed data for reports.-Wendy Lukehart, Dauphin County Library, Harrisburg, PA (c) Copyright 2010.

Bjrk (Linnea in Monet's Garden) offers an engaging view of Venice from the perspective of an affable Swedish girl visiting the city with her father. Brief chapters, usually two to three pages, follow the duo's wanderings through the city and dip into Venetian history, culture and legend. Childlike imagery dots Vendela's anecdotal narrative: arriving in Venice by boat at night is "like sailing into the middle of a play." And while Vendela is clearly caught up in all that is "magical" about this floating city, she makes down-to-earth observations, too. She notes the "masses of plastic bottles" in the canal and, bored on a visit to the Accademia Museum, she discovers that it's best to look "at what is happening along the bottom of the pictures.... There are often funny little details, even on sad paintings." Eriksson (who collaborated with Bjrk on The Other Alice) animates this breezy travelogue with realistic illustrations that accurately capture everything from architectural details to facial expressions; her style sits well alongside the numerous photographs and reproductions included here. A pleasant armchair excursion that will stir readers' wanderlust. Ages 10-up. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

(Intermediate) An enchanting introduction to the fabled Italian city, as seen by a Swedish child whose father takes her there for Easter vacation. Vendela, a curious, alert middle-grader, is most interested in the monumental horse sculptures that now appear in replica on San Marco's facade; her quest to see the even more awe-inspiring originals, despite the crowds, is one of Bj+rk's several effective narrative threads. Meanwhile, there's lots else to do and see: even the paintings Dad admires begin to intrigue Vendela (who doesn't like museums) when she notices how many of them picture incidental dogs, right at her level; there is glass-blowing, gondola construction, good eating, fascinating bits of history, and even a few realistic negatives (a whiff of diesel fuel; too many pigeons) to be taken in stride. Eriksson's evocative cityscapes, which pay homage to the eighteenth-century painter Canaletto's luminous,lovingly detailed portrayals of Venice, are peopled with affectionately observed characters in the manner of Shirley Hughes. Endpaper maps; photographs and reproductions, carefully integrated into the overall design; and a useful miscellany of other ""Things You Might Like to Know"" (including books and significant dates) round out the information. Best of all is the relationship between parent and child-companionably sharing the experience, on different levels yet with mutual respect and equal pleasure. j.r.l. (c) Copyright 2010.
