《I Want My Hat Back》,曾获《纽约时报》年度佳图画书奖、美国《出版者周刊》年度佳童书等多项荣誉,本书向读者讲述了有关撒谎的代价,并且细节中蕴含的逻辑推理细节和黑色幽默也更是令人发笑和深思。
这本绘本讲述了森林里的一只大熊寻找自己帽子的故事,它耐心询问路上他遇到的每一只动物:狐狸,青蛙,兔子,乌龟,蛇,负鼠……每只动物都说没有。正当大熊陷入沮丧时,它遇见了鹿,而鹿提出了一个简单的问题,引发了大熊的记忆。
In his bestselling debut picture book, the multiple award-winning Jon Klassen, illustrator of This Is Not My Hat and Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, tells the story of a bear who's hat has gone. And he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no (some more elaborately than others). But just as it he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance...Told completely in dialogue, this quirky, hilarious, read-aloud tale plays out in sly illustrations brimming with visual humour and winks at the reader who will be thrilled to be in on the joke.
