0 star rating by Boomert - The Terrible Plop by Ursula Dubosarsky 18 Jan 2010
Award-wining children’s book author Dubosarsky appears at ease writing stories for the very young all the way through to teenagers. Her latest picture book tells the story of a group of rabbits who make an anxious escape through the forest after being alarmed by a mysterious sound. A troupe of animals is collected as the fear builds, all wishing to flee the ‘Terrible PLOP!’. The frightful flight continues until the animals reach a bear who queries the nature of the PLOP and wishes to investigate. And so it is the task of the ‘littlest rabbit’ with ‘the greatest fear’ to take the bear to the source of the unknown sound. The Terrible PLOP is a wonderful children’s book with an important moral: things aren’t so scary once you know what they are. Reminiscent of classic fairytales, this book has a delightful rhyming narrative and repetition which makes it ideal as a read aloud book for younger readers. Joyner’s illustrations make a terrific accompaniment to the text with their bold colours and interesting use of collage. The Terrible PLOP is an engaging story which parents and teachers are sure to enjoy sharing with pre-schoolers.
