喜多村惠絕版經典作 復刻再登場
Lily喜歡和狗兒Nicky一起散步,她們常外出好幾個小時,走到太陽都下山了,但Lily有Nicky一路相伴,她從不覺得害怕。她腳步輕快,偶爾停下看著天上的星光、或跟河裡的鴨子打招呼,邊走邊跟Nicky分享見聞。但是,為什麼 Nicky看起來並不開心,反而常常驚慌的盯著路上的東西看?
日本插畫大師喜多村惠(Satoshi Kitamura)以充滿趣味的幽默感,敘述Lily和Nicky相反的故事視角。當觀看的角度產生變化,同一趟旅程,竟呈現截然不同的情緒和風景。圖像和文字製造出的反差,自然而然創造笑點,更邀請孩子一起進入每個場景,運用想像力和觀察力,延伸更多的故事情節。
此書屬於原本於1987年出版的Spooky Surprise系列,藉著Nicky看到的樹葉怪物、張著大嘴的垃圾桶等畫面,喜多村惠同理並再現孩子心中時而出現、無以名狀的恐懼。每一頁插圖都充滿創意細節,讓小讀者迫不及待尋找畫面中隱藏的驚喜,這趟散步旅程刺激精采讓人難忘!
New edition of a classic and much-loved title, now in bigger format and with additional artwork
When Lily takes a walk with her dog, Nicky, she notices many lovely things. But poor Nicky only sees monsters lurking at every turn. Nicky sees a scary face made by the branches of a tree, then he is spooked by a post box that looks like a monster... the walk is an exhausting experience for him! The reader will also spot the scary apparitions but will recognise that they are not what they seem, and they also have the last laugh on Lily, who does not notice them at all.
