本書為得獎搭檔John & Stella Danalis合作的可愛有趣的現代預言

 

鞋匠舒曼製作的鞋精緻美觀、非常耐穿，且獨一無二，因此非常大受歡迎。

鞋舖位在小鎮的鬧街上，高掛著鞋子形狀的招牌。

若是招牌上的鞋帶鬆了，大家就知道鞋匠正忙著，千萬別去打擾他。

但是，如果鞋帶紮了個美麗的蝴蝶結，那表示將又有一雙美妙的新鞋在人行道上豋場啦！

然而，當大鞋廠進駐小鎮，大家卻轉眼忘了鞋舖以及鞋匠的好，

紓曼的鞋子像大鞋廠煙囪的煙一樣消失無蹤，他傷心洩氣地躲進了森林。

這本特別的繪本，文字悠美流暢，發人深省。

並引領我們思考日常物品的來源，及商業活動對傳統生活的衝擊。

克萊西(Clancy)一家人搬了新家，爸爸媽媽都很喜歡新房子，但克萊西覺得新房子太大，感覺很冷清。他的新鄰居—米麗(Millie)陪他一起玩遊戲，一起建造他心目中真正的”家”。

書評

Children are resistant to change and moving house is a major challenge. Clancy, unlike his parents, is not happy with the new house–‘it’s too big’. Blackwood shows Clancy’s old house as something like a child might draw, red pitched roof and central front door behind a low paling fence. It sits companionably with its neighbours while overhead fly pig-shaped clouds. In contrast, the new house towers above the street and seems to lean out in a threatening way. The illustrations, while subtle in detail, directly convey emotion, a boon to the pre-reader following the illustrations as the story is read aloud. Sharp eyes might see a tiny face in one of the neighbouring windows. This is red-haired Millie who comes over to play and lights up Clancy’s life. The fun they have building towers with the empty packing boxes and re-enacting the story of the Three Little Pigs puts heart into the ‘fine house’ making it a home. An obvious choice for preschoolers in the same situation, but also a confidence boost for any young child as the narrative builds (pun intended!) towards the idea that change can bring good things.
