Overview / 简介: |
Originally published in 1973, this is the offbeat fable of a city mouse who visits his peaceful country cousins and tells them about Mardi Gras in the city. The country mice are inspired to have their own Mardi Gras. And at first, it is fun wearing their masks with sharp teeth and tusks and scaring each other, but after a while, they begin believing that they really are ferocious animals.
Leo Lionni's winsome mice cavort across big double-page spreads of oil paintings and tell a story about what is real and what is not that is just right for preschoolers. Reissued in hardcover in 2003, it now makes its debut in Dragonfly paperback. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| “A charming fable, it deserves to take its place once again with other beloved Lionni favorites.” |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Settled on this book after looking for a book themed around Mardi Gras for my 2 1/2 year old. She enjoyed it and asked for it several times, but it certainly did become a favorite in heavy rotation. Personally, I'm not so fond of the dark side of the story where the mice forget they are masking and think they are actual ferocious animals and Mardi Gras ultimately becomes taboo. |
