繪本大師李歐．李奧尼經典《亞歷山大和發條鼠》Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse

　　老鼠阿力遇見了一隻名叫小威的玩具發條老鼠，他們很快就成為好朋友，分享彼此的生活故事。人們看到老鼠常常是一陣喊打，阿力總是得想辦法在捕鼠器和掃帚下努力生存。另一方面，小威雖然沒有行動自由，卻享有小主人的寵愛，能夠睡在溫暖的床上。小威的生活讓阿力非常羨慕，他好想變得和小威一樣。但當一隻發條老鼠真有那麼好嗎？
 
　　四度榮獲美國凱迪克大獎，知名繪本大師李歐．李奧尼（Leo Lionni）不只非常會「玩」顏色，筆下的世界更是充滿想像力和生命力，透過不同素材的拼貼、水彩拓印等技法的巧妙運用，簡單的畫面中，融合了童心的純真和深刻的哲理，為一代代的讀者帶來難忘的感動、歡樂和驚奇！

　　Everyone loves Willy the wind-up mouse, while Alexander the real mouse is chased away with brooms and mousetraps. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be loved and cuddled, thinks Alexander, and he wishes he could be a wind-up mouse too. In this gentle fable about a real mouse and a mechanical mouse, Leo Lionni explores the magic of friendship.
