"How does an imaginary friend feel before he's been imagined? In Santat'ssweet, mind-bending gumdrop of a tale, Beekle lives on a rainbow-hued island, 'hoping for his turn to be picked by a child.' Eventually, like Max in'Where the Wild Things Are,' he takes to the seas and soon lands in the real world - which looks a lot like Manhattan. Though this island seems awfully drab, Beekle and his friend find each other at last. She's everything he's ever dreamed of, and the feeling is mutual."
―The New York Times Book Review
“当一个幻想朋友在他被想象到之前会是什么感觉呢？在桑塔特看来，那个幻想朋友就像一颗甜蜜的橡皮糖，小白住在彩虹色的岛上，希望能被一个真实的小孩领走”最后，他决定自己去寻找。他来到了真实世界，它看起来很像曼哈顿。虽然这个岛似乎非常单调，但是小白还是和他的真实朋友见面了。这正是他所有的梦想，而这种感觉是相互的。”——《纽约时报》书评
Dan Santat is one of the hardest working people in the industry today.And while his immense talent was always evident,Beekletakes his artistry to a new level.The story (which is just bursting at the seams with charm) begins on an island of colorful creatures, each waiting to be imagined by a special child and thus transported to the real world.... As with all great books,Beeklehas an air of inevitability about it. As if somewhere out there is an island of perfect stories just waiting for the right person to come along and imagine it into being.We should all be grateful that Santat, with his brilliant use of color and humor, was here to bringBeekleto life.
―The Huffington Post
丹·桑塔特是行业中最努力的人。他的巨大的才华展现在了他的新作Beekle（《小白找朋友》）这部书中。这个故事中一个幻想孩子，为了寻找他的伙伴，来到现实世界…正如所有伟大的书籍那样，主人公Beekle（小白）的性格好像我们呼吸的空气那样熟悉。我们就是在某处等待着一个真正和自己匹配的人。我们都应该感谢桑塔特，他的色彩和独有的幽默，把Beekle领进了我们的生活。——《赫芬顿邮报》
* "Santat's attention to detail in the mixed-media illustrations shares a child's eye for laughter and movement on full-bleed spreads with strategically placed text. Gazes of wonderment, broad smiles, and changes in perspective ensure an easy transition from page to page...Like Beekle's new friend, there's something here that feels just right as an "unimaginary" friendship creates a joyous, recognizable bond. A terrific addition to any library."―School Library Journal(starred review)
“Beekle是一个戴着皇冠的白色软糖，和其他幻想朋友们生活在一个梦幻般的岛屿上，看到他的同伴一个接一个地被领走，Beekle失去了信心，他想象着那个能给他一个特别的名字的真实朋友，于是他开始了一场“不可思议的冒险”去寻找他的朋友……欢迎，Beekle。认识你很高兴”。——《学校图书馆》
"Beekle (a crowned white gumdrop of lovable cuteness) lives on a fantastic island with other creatures "waiting to be imagined by a real child." After seeing his companions leave, one by one, Beekle loses faith that he will ever "be picked and given a special name," and so he does "the unimaginable" and ventures forth to find his friend...Welcome, Beekle. It's nice to know you."―Kirkus Reviews
"This story would comfort children looking for new friends and would also encourage children to reach out to someone different."―LMC
