5.0 out of 5 stars The Big Orange Splot, Jun 6 2009
By A. Wetzel "Ann" (NB Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Big Orange Splot (Paperback)
As an elementary teacher, I'm always looking for ways to spark childrens' imaginations. While traveling through NYS a number of years ago, I saw a house - painted - with lions, and rainbows, etc. We passed through town quickly, and I didin't get a picture of the house. I wrote the postmaster in the town and he obliged my request, taking a picture of the house and mailing it to me. The Big Orange Splot is a perfect introduction to my photo, and it helps me show that you don't have to be just like everyone else. My students draw their "dream house" when we conclude the lesson. I had to get a replacement copy - my original is well-used!

5.0 out of 5 stars the best book for original thinkers, April 12 2004
This review is from: The Big Orange Splot (Paperback)
This book was a joy to read! It shows how rewarding it is to be an individual. The plot: Mr. Plumbean lives in an Edward Scissorhands type of neighbourhood until a seagull drops a can of orange paint onto his house. After some thought, Mr. Plumbean decides to ignore the requests of his neighbours to keep the neighbourhood "neat" (thus painting his house back to the original colour). He, instead, decides to create his own space where "he likes to be and (that) looks like all (of his) dreams". His joy is infectious. In the end, all of his neighbours decide to paint their houses to reflect their own dreams. What a great ending! A good book to send to your neighbourhood CCNR. (Oh, and my 4-year-old loved it too!)
