Wow, I loved the art work in this story. It really worked for me. I also enjoyed the story. I had an explosion of warmth in my heart from the opening page. This one window in her grandparents house was special. It was the focal point of the house and where all the memories of her grandparents happened. You see who is coming and going and you welcome in the morning and tell the stars goodnight.There is something sentimental for me about children and grandparents and I don't know why that is today...
The Hello, Goodbye Window by Norton Juster, illustrated byChris Raschka, is a sweet story about a child and her grandparents, and one of her memorable visits with them, focusing on their kitchen window. "Nanna and Poppy live in a big house in the middle of town. There's a brick path that goes to the back porch, but before you get there you pass right by the kitchen window. That's the Hello, Goodbye Window. It looks like a regular window but it's not." The window remains central to the granddaug...
“The Hello, Goodbye Window” is delightful story told from the viewpoint of a young nameless girl (age 4-6), as she explains how wonderful it is to visit her Nanna and Poppy. Throughout the story, she refers to the “hello, goodbye window” and how magical things happen near, through, and beyond it. It’s almost like the window represents an imaginary world, where anything is possible. The young girl shares what she does and silly moments with Nanna and Poppy, revealing the things she loves most ab
Although I'm a huge fan of Norton Juster, I was disappointed with this book. The drawings looked to be done by a child, and while the illustrator might have done that on purpose, it was a little too abstract to make much sense of. Each page looked the same to my kids, and my 5 yr old was only half-heartedly interested in following along. The premise was a good idea, but not enough meat behind it for a good stable book.
The Hello, Goodbye Window is a delightful story of a little girl who visits with her Nana and Poppy. For this little girl, the window is a special, magical window full of possibilities. Through this window she can tap on the window and hide, or press her face up against it and scare Nana and Poppy. There are a number of visitors that are seen through the window, like Tyrannosaurus Rex (who is extinct and doesn't come around much), to the pizza delivery guy who always delivers pepperoni and chees...
Coming into reading this book, I saw that it was by Norton Juster. I was excited to read it because he is the author of The Phantom Tollbooth which was a story that I vividly remember enjoying when I was in elementary school. And while the story was sweet, I was both underwhelmed and overwhelmed by this book. What I liked:It was a complete story. It was complete in its totality and was rather sentimental. It felt like it was legitimately told from a child's voice. The tone of the book was very y...
