Literary appreciation of picture book "monster day on tabletop hill"

Hi guys, i will try to riview a good picture book “monster day on tabletop hill” by akiko sueyoshi.

I enjoyed the story. Monster day on tabletop hill by akiko sueyoshi. The story is so easy to understand, from young people to old people will definitely like this story of picture book. I could sense the character’s forky is third person because the story tells about forky. One day on Tabletop Hill tells about Forky is a lively fork boy who lives on Tabletop Hill. He loves playing with his friends at Sugar Cube park. And that’s where they are one day, when the sudden sound of clanging bells make them all freeze with fear. Oh no, it’s Monster Day! Forky’s friends run home, but Forky’s wide-eyed curiosity leads him to discover a whole new circle of friends, who turn out to be not so scary after all. when he hears bells clanging, announcing the arrival of the guardians of clean, Grandpa Sweep-Sweep and Granny Wipe-Wipe, who sweep-sweep and wipe-wipe at everything that’s in their path, determined to get Tabletop Hill as clean as can be. It’s a particularly distressing day for carelessly wandering creatures and monsters, who may well be swept away into nothingness, never to return. While dodging this bustling pair, Forky chances upon a glowing pumpkin in the middle of a field. And out of this pumpkin house comes a delightfully motley crew: little biscuit bats, musical chocolate skeletons and the four Marshomon. Monsters though they are, Forky isn’t afraid of the Marshomon at all, joining in their dancing and inviting them all out to play in Sugar Cube Park, where they shoot at lollipops till scrumptious ice-cream and juices ooze out. Their wonderful adventure must end, however, when the ominous bells clang once again and the doors to Pumpkin House begin to close. A pacey and engaging read, Forky’s adventure will keep little readers in thrall from beginning to end.

In this story the reader can read if forky is shocked and afraid of the monsters on tabletop hill people usually say, but in this story it appears that the monsters on tabletop hill or pumpkin hill are not like monsters, even forky is not afraid of the pumpkin so he helps one of the pumpkin by taking a pumpkin hat who fell down. Something flew through the air and landed at forky’s feet.”whoops!” forky said. “that one lost his hat!”by returning the hat that fell forky to know that the pumpkin is not as scary as the forky thought. finally forky met with all the pumpkin, pumpkin was surprised because that day was the day of the monster that should only be the monster,”whose that?” “ he says he’s forky the fork!” “but today is monster day!” there with an angry face and the pumpkin said forky must be brought to grendpa sweep sweep and grenny weep weep,”give him to grandpa sweep sweep and granny weep weep”. “yeah, take him away!””quick! garb him!” but one of the pumpkin that was helped by forky and stopped they were to bring forky to the grenpa sweep sweep and grenny weep weep and say that forky had brought his fallen hat.”stop!””look he brought me my hat!” the pumpkin asked "are you not afraid of us" forky said "not afraid" “but i am not afraid of you,” forky said “didn’t you see me dancing? It was fu!” forky dancing showed that he was not afraid of the pumpkin, finally the pumpkin and forky danced together.

Monster on Tabletop Hill is written in prose, in Sueyoshi’s typically concise style and filled with little details that set the mood of the story. The work of Cathy Hirano, translator of the Moribito series with two Batcheldor Awards under her belt, means that both English and Japanese audiences can enjoy this bilingual picture book in the best possible way. Hirano’s contribution to Sueyoshi’s story is subtle but evident; the translation is simple and energetic, faithful to the mood and setting of the original Japanese text.

In conclusion, from monster day on tabletop hill Don’t judge the book by the cover. Never see someone from just one point of view because it is not necessarily what you see is the real life.
