A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Imagination battles boredom (and wins!) in this funny, animal-packed picture book. On Wednesday, Thelma is bored - so she decides to become a queen. She makes the royal announcement on Thursday and chooses the royal pets on Friday. But she needs a castle to keep the pets, and royally qualified trainers to tame them, and of course someone to clean up after the messes. It's enough to give a queen a royal headache. And when Thelma realizes that there aren't enough beds to hold her royal staff, she flings off her crown and decides that maybe being a regular girl isn't so boring after all.

Revue de presse :

A familiar story of imaginative play, but Swiatkowska's whimsical pictures set it apart. - Booklist The emotional arc of the narrative are conveyed by the illustrations, a series of surrealist-style paintings of a world where oddities such as fish anchored by balloons sailing by the window appear unexplained. - The Horn Book Swiatkowska's stunning artwork offers readers a fantastic, somewhat surreal glimpse of a very imaginative girl. - School Library Journal Imaginative illustrations fuel this playful exploration of juvenile boredom. - Kirkus Reviews --Various
