出版社周刊评论
This eager-to-please picture book wins plaudits for good intentions, though unfortunately for little else. Executed in a style that could well be called ``Muppet multicultural'' (the critters appear in just about every skin color imaginable, including purple, green and blue), the work is dedicated to the memory of Audrey Hepburn and published ``in cooperation with the United Nations'' (a portion of the proceeds will help support various U.N. projects). The double-spread pages present a series of happy/sad contrasts that employ minimal text (``Every child needs food to eat'') and cartoon-like illustrations to depict the world's haves and have-nots. Kermit the Frog narrates and appears on the ``happy'' pages, declaring what every child has a right to--food, clean water, clean air to breathe, a home, education. The bright borders of these scenes evoke various settings--Africa, the Australian Outback, India, Greece, the Tyrol--and contrast sharply with the drab, mud-colored ``sad'' pages (``But sometimes there isn't enough''). The book's motive--to open children's minds and hearts to the world's problems--is admirable; however, the commercial tone and simplistic format lack subtlety and depth. Ages 5-9. (Apr.)

Published in cooperation with the United Nations. The final illustration in this well-intentioned book, narrated by Kermit the Frog, shows people working together to make the world a better place, but young readers are more likely to remember the many disturbing pictures that precede it -- of starving, homeless, sick, and injured children. One especially distressing illustration depicts a blindfolded Muppet child with his mouth taped and his hands tied. From HORN BOOK 1993, (c) Copyright 2010.

Nine statements outlining children's basic needs and how they often go unmet--e.g., ``Every child needs food to eat. But sometimes there isn't enough to go around.'' The accompanying art depicts Kermit the Frog as narrator and features Sesame Street- style characters in many colors (blue, purple, pink, green). But while the characters are in a cartoon style, they express real emotions, and their settings are composed of realistic elements: a smoke-spewing city where the air is too dirty to breathe, an orderly classroom, an ineffective shelter in a rainstorm, a battlefield with shattered household goods (including a toy bear and the wounded in the background silhouetted against yellow flames). The result is that the concepts are made immediately accessible but not trivialized. Images and motifs from many cultures appear in the illustrations and borders (a painting of Mount Fuji in a well-equipped hospital), implying that plenty and deprivation occur all over the world. A serious book, with appeal for a wide audience, that can do only good. (Picture book. 4-9)
