Oma paksuse juures 346 lehekülje juures läheb raamat kiiresti edasi, sest teksti osa ühel leheküljel ei ole pikalt ja pildid annavad teksti edasi. Samas tekst ei ole alati sirgelt reas ja ühe kindla suuruse ja stiiliga, vaid erineb igal leheküljel. Mis muudab lugemise huvitavamaks. And alright, he's not the worst - he pranks his sister, he doesn't do his homework. But he's a good kid really, Tom Gates. He's in a band, has friends and crushes, fakes parent letters. All in all - a kid that other kids enjoy reading about and see themselves in. Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing -

We pass our review copies on to a local school and the teacher tells me that the boys are getting a lot out of all the Tom Gates books. Cine nu știe că Tom Gates e noul meu puști favorit, imediat după Nate? De data asta, din păcate, Pichon nu m-a făcut să râd așa cum a făcut-o în celelalte două romane traduse deja de editura Arthur. Good to join Rupert Grint on the audiobook again, and this saw us through a few school runs, the 5 year old was keeping up as easily as the 11 year old, and there's nothing unsuitable in these books either (if you don't mind repeated refrains of 'Delia's a Weirdo' at random times through the day). Tom Gates Suurepärased ettekäänded (ja muu hea kraam) on lihtsa tekstiga ja piltidega illustreeritud. Peategelane Tom käib 5-klassis ja tal on suurem õde, keda ta nimetab luuseriks, idoodiks jne. Ühesõnaga läbi saamine pole kõige parem. Raamat räägib Tomi elust koolis, sõpradega koos tegemisest ja bändist Zombi-Koerad. I'd like to see more from Delia the older sister in later episodes I think, see their relationship in a little more detail.

Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments If you haven't seen the first book in the series - The Brilliant World of Tom Gates - now would be a good time to get hold of a copy. We can also recommend The Dunderheads by Paul Fleischman and David Roberts were the kids get one (or more) over on their teacher. It's a fun read that's going to appeal to boys (and possibly even a few girls) in the mid- to upper-tween age range. I'd be more than happy to buy the book as it does have re-readability and although it appears to be very up-to-the-moment there are few if any cultural references which will make it seems dated before many years are out. It's definitely recommended.

Tom este la fel de năzdrăvan și sturlubatic doar că parcă i-a lipsit sarea și piperul ca să ajungă să-l notez cu 4 sau 5 stele. Nu știu ce s-a întâmplat exact sincer să vă spun mai ales că volumul de față este al doilea din serie chiar dacă a apărut al treilea în românește și în mod normal trebuia să fie mai fain decât cel care-l urmează că încă e proaspăt autorul. Din păcate Pichon parcă s-a rupt, parcă s-a împiedicat de personaj, parcă nu l-a mai iubit atât de tare pe Tom și parcă povestea pe care a născocit-o a fost puțin forțată. Summary: The second book in the Tom Gates series follows the comic-style format and will appeal to boys - including the reluctant reader. It's great fun and despite seeming a little anarchic, right always prevails. Definitely recommended I have a soft spot for this series, so love it when a new book comes out. This one was hilarious. Kids eating bowls full of sugar, caramel doughnuts, cool grandparents and a whole heap of illustrations to boot!” Rania T. Samas oli üks asi, mis mulle ei meeldinud ja mille tõttu ma lausa kaalusin raamatu pooleli jätmist, aga seda siiski ei teinud. Üksteise tögamine ja üksteisele ära panemine venna ja õe vahel. Ma arvan, et erinevast east hoolitama saadakse siiski omavahel paremini läbi, kui üksteist luusreks ja idoodiks nimetada. Tunnistan alati see ei pruugi nii olla :).

Lugesin seda raamatut ja veel teisiga kahte (Luuseri päevik ja Ühe äpardi päevik), et neid oma vahel võrrelda ja seda oma seminaritöö pärast. Need kolm on üsna sarnased päeviku vormis piltide ja tekstiga lood, kus peategelane on kas poiss või tüdruk. Eelkõige oli eesmärk hinnata lastekirjanduse vaatevinklist. In this second book, the narrative continues on really, into a school holiday in which Tom determines he WILL do his homework... but later.
