內容簡介: |
"Browne brings a fresh perspective and his own witty visual
imagination even to such simple-seeming books as these small
catalogs of enthusiasms. Mass-market appeal combined with excellent
quality."--Kirkus

關於作者: |
Anthony Browne is rightly regarded as one of the world''s
leading picturebook creators. He lives in England with his wife and
two children. He has won awards in many countries, including the
Kate Greenaway Medal of England for GORILLA and ZOO, and the Kurt
Maschler Award of Germany for GORILLA. His inspiration for GORILLA
came from a combination of things -- a greeting card he''d designed
of a huge macho gorilla holding a teddy bear, a very lonely boy he
knew whose father lived in New Zealand, his own fascination with
gorillas. The behavior of a real family provided the idea for
PIGGYBOOK not his own, however! When the book was completed, he
presented the family with a copy, without comment. But they didn''t
see any relevance to themselves!
