Loading... The Sign on Rosie's Door (1960)by Maurice Sendak
None. "The Sign on Rosie's Door" is about a young girl named Rosie who post a sign on her door saying, "Is you want to know a secret, knock three times." For anyone who knocked, Rosie would come out dressed up as a famous singer named, Alinda. Throughout the story she switches between her plain self, Rosie and her famous self, Alinda. I think that this story is perfect for independent readers who are moving onto longer books by themselves. The book is broken down into four really short chapters, but it gives the young reader the feel of moving onto chapter books. It shows them what chapters are, exercising their growth, while never losing sight of the creativity and imagination of our main character. (  ) Klefort | Oct 8, 2012 |  "The Sign on Rosie's Door" is about a young girl named Rosie who posts a sign on the door saying "If you want to know a secret, knock three times". When someone would knock three times Rosie would become a famous lady singer named Alinda. Alinda would perform for her friends in the cellar. She could go back and forth between her old self and he famous self. The story is a good read for children learning to read longer stories independently. (  ) abruser | Apr 12, 2012 | For a beginner's reader, this four-chapter picture book is a delight! It's a blend of Dr. Seuss and Minarik's Little Bear series. It tells a timeless tale reminiscent of a quieter, gentler time when kids who had nothing to do had to rely on their imaginations. Like many second-graders, Rosie is a creative genius when it comes to thinking up things to keep her pals "busy." Maurice Sendak did both the story and the illustration and I love the way the art work blends right in with the words to further the story. Second graders are going to love reading this extremely funny book all by themselves, and everyone else can enjoy it too. (  ) anneofia | Jan 31, 2010 | Rosie, a perfectly ordinary little girl, like all perfectly ordinary children, is filled with strange and wonderful fancies. When it gets too monotonous being just plain Rosie, she transforms herself into a variety of alluring creatures, all of whom bear the mark of the original Rosie in their whimsy and intensity. Maurice Sendak, both through text and illustrations, fuses the appealingly familiar with the magical in a book of outstanding charm. antimuzak | May 8, 2007 | no reviews | add a review
