More!

by Tracey Corderoy, Tim Warnes (Illustrator)

Otto loves to do everything BIG. He builds a space station, but it's not big enough.

"More rockets!" he says. "More towers!"

Then one day, Otto goes to a birthday costume party wearing a huge costume.

Otto's costume is so big that he can't take part in the games and activities! Will he finally learn that sometimes, more can be too much?

Wat een ontzettend leuk boek was dit zeg. Julius was wel een beetje verwend, maar gelukkig leert hij wel een lesje aan het einde. Mooie illustraties, zeker een aanrader.

Archie is a rhino with a LOT to say, and he has learned how to ask for MORE! Through the course of the story, Archie comes to learn that MORE isn't always best, although when it comes to friends, MORE is always good. Children love the illustrations, and Archie is a fun, relatable character.

Kirjassa pieni sarvikuono Aaro haluaa aina vain lisää, lisää ja lisää. Suuruudenhulluus kääntyy itseään vastaan, kun Aaro askartelee liian ison naamiaispuvun juhliin ja melkein jää paitsi kaikesta hauskasta. Jokin tässä ei ihan iskenyt.

Suomeksi käännetty lastenkirja Lisää! kertoo Aarosta, joka pitää asioista niin paljon, että haluaa aina vähän enemmän. Taaperolle ja taaperon vanhemmalle samaistuttavalla tavalla hauska tarina, jossa lisää voi joskus olla liikaa - paitsi kavereissa.

Cute. It has a good lesson about more not always being the best but something about it just didn't do it for me.

Can more be too much? Yep, find out in this sweet, gentle story.

Aaron uusin villitys on haluta lisää kaikkea ja vielä vähän lisää ihan kaikkea.

An enjoyable book that I read with my son.

A premissa é engraçada, contudo acho que pecou por ter frases demasiado curtas. A autora deveria ter explorado melhor o texto.

This is a cute and ever so funny read showing how wanting more can be too much. I know parents and other family members can relate to younger children crying 'more!' Archie does/haves whatever 'more' he wanted, with clear outcomes pointing out how our desires don't have the result we necessarily expect. I giggled away at the bright and colourful pictures as the story unfolded, happy to be surprised at a few events including the end.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.co...

Otto always wants more of everything he likes... more ice-cream, more stories, more toys. When he gets an invitation to Robbie's costume party he wants his costume to be the biggest, tallest, and sparkliest. So he uses more cardboard, more tape and glue, and more glitter. Everyone agrees, Otto's costume is the biggest, tallest, and sparkliest. But Otto finds out he can't play or eat in his big costume. When he gets stuck in the bushes, his friends all work to get him out of his costume. Now Otto can have fun at the party with more friends!

3.75 Stars Sometimes more is just more! Otto wants more...bigger towers, more cupcakes, more accessories...but sometimes only time more is better..is when it means MORE FRIENDS! Fun cute pictures, nice story! Good message!

[Charlotte Latham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining read for small children - and the theme of a child always wanting more will appeal to parents. Bold illustrations and gentle moral.

[Jody · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was cute, and with a good message for our consumer-driven world - more isn't necessarily better!
