《孩子的方式(儿童绘画心理分析与观察指南)(精)》的作者杭海以一位自己孩子的父亲的眼光与经历来描述一个普通孩子的涂鸦所带来的问题、发现、喜悦以及某种程序的思考。 太极拳的动作刚柔相济，变化莫测，五岁时杭大川以极简的笔法生动地表达了一个个太极拳的瞬间意象，面对太极拳一系列复杂而连贯的动作，儿童究竟看见了什么，记住了什么，又是如何将其心理意象转化为一个具有象征意义的、形意兼备的简化图形？这样的问题尚未有明确的答案，科勒（格式塔心理学的奠基人之一）曾说过，心理学还是一个娃娃。 如果一位家长在阅读完本书之后，不再为孩子在白墙上画画而大发雷霆，从此不再胡乱丢弃孩子的作品，那就意味着在这个充满误解与偏见的世界上又多了一个幸运的孩子。

Kindergarten-Grade 2–Portly is trying to find his true self. He was born a hippopotamus, but is sick of wading in water and eating boring, old grass. Searching for new possibilities, he sets off on a quest where he encounters a herd of rhinoceros, a bat, an elephant, and a giraffe, and transforms himself into a hippo-gir-ele-bat-onoceros. Each new identity has comical, albeit unsuccessful consequences. His adventures make him long for the cool waters of home and grass. Portly and his parents are glad to be reunited, but when he sees a monkey swinging from tree to tree, he knows his explorations must continue. The artist uses bright, sunny colors, portraying this jungle fantasy through large, eye-catching paintings. Portly's multifaceted personality is well illustrated. While the theme is far from new, children will enjoy the humorous tale and will identify with Portly's desire to try out new personas. A smooth flowing, witty text gives this tale good storytime potential.–Be Astengo, Alachua County Library

Illus. in full color. "Don't be fooled by the title of thisseriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kidversion. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, fromloneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiarpajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey iscaptured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the goodtimes (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and thebad (deep blue wells of confusion).
