2014 Caldecott Medal
2014 Medal Winner
Locomotive, illustrated by Brian Floca, is the 2014 Caldecott Medal winner. The book was written by Brian Floca and published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing.All aboard! Accompany a family on an unforgettable weeklong train trip from Omaha to Sacramento in 1869. Brian Floca’s dramatic watercolor, ink, acrylic and gouache illustrations incorporate meticulously-researched portraits of the train, the travelers and the crew as they traverse the American landscape on the new transcontinental railroad. 這段只在說明作者繪畫風格, Caldecott 在作者繪風方面非常重視
“The committee was impressed with Floca’s ability to creatively capture the immensity and inner workings of the early locomotive and combine it with a family’s adventurous journey west,” said Caldecott Medal Committee Chair Marion Hanes Rutsch.
這本書說, 於1869年時, 這種老式旅行火車才剛剛上式, 有一家人搭著這火車穿梭在不同省州中旅行, 好像有點像咱們一首兒歌 "穿過平原劃過小山..." 沿途中, 刺激感觀的美景搭配火車的聲音, 讓這次家庭旅行成為一趟美好回憶! 也讓孩子們認識在美國, 這種早期這種老式火車的介紹哦.
我猜這會是一本很"兒子" 的繪本, 但我也會讓我家女兒唸一唸, 呵...
2014 Honor Books
Journey, written and illustrated by Aaron Becker and published by Candlewick Press Finding a magical red crayon, a bored and lonely girl draws a new door on her bedroom wall that leads her to a wondrous but perilous new world. Her drab, sepia-toned, humdrum reality gives way to sumptuous, lushly-hued watercolor and pen and ink landscapes.
一開始看書本簡介, 會很有 Harold and the Purple Crayon 的感覺, 哈!!!
這書在說一個孤單又覺無聊的小女孩找到一隻神奇紅色蠟筆, 她用這隻蠟筆在房間的牆上畫了一扇門, 就如同小叮噹的任意門一樣, 這扇門引領的小女孩進入一個充滿奇幻, 刺激又冒險的旅程...
一如Caldecott 對繪風嚴格的評價標準, 這本繪本的繪風也很具藝術價值.
Flora and the Flamingo, written and illustrated by Molly Idle and published by Chronicle Books LLCThe budding relationship between an awkward young girl and a graceful flamingo is revealed through carefully orchestrated flaps. The minimalist setting, limited color palette, use of white space and page turns create a timeless and joyful visual experience. The call-and-response of this balletic duet is cinematic and comedic. 一樣在讚賞本書的繪風
這繪本, wordless, 是無字書哦!
本書在說一個阿呆小女孩和一隻優雅的紅鶴二者之間的"對舞", 因為沒有字, 所以沒有對白, 但二者如樂曲般的二重奏讓讀者感到可愛又好笑哦! Amazon 的簡介結尾是說, 會讓讀者拍手叫好連連呢!
這種無字書, 很棒! 讓孩子自己去發展腦子裡屬於自己的"軟體", 哈!!!
Mr. Wuffles! written and illustrated by David Wiesner and published by Clarion Books, an imprint of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company 值得一提的作者, 得過非常多的奬, 9成都是無字書! 酷! 這種書用來發展孩子想像力和自主思考最讚了!
Mr. Wuffles finds a new toy that is actually a tiny spaceship in this nearly wordless science fiction tale of epic and miniature proportions. Crisp watercolor and India ink illustrations shine in an innovative graphic novel, picture book hybrid featuring hidden worlds, alien languages and one peeved cat. 一樣在讚賞本書的繪風...
這繪本不但幾乎無字讓讀者自行想像, 書中的主題也非常有創意!
書中在說一隻玩具很多的貓(是不是很像現在的孩子), 發現他飛碟玩具裡, 住了一群不明生物!! 對啦, 就是外星人囉, 於是開始一塲世紀大貓與外星人之戰, Mr. Wuffles 這隻貓生物從此在外星人史中, 記載於青史中了...
書中在結尾唯二二句 " Hey, Mr. Wuffles -- blast off!" "OH, Mr. Wuffles!" 主人給Wuffles 一架太空梭玩具, 他有必要駕著這架rocket 去追外星人嗎?
