* Child Magazine's Best Kid's Book of the Year


국내에는 "왠지 시무룩한 날"과 "제일 좋은 친구는 누구?" 등 2권의 번역서가 출간된 리사 얀클로우의 대표작 중 하나입니다. 이 책은 친구와 다투고 돌아섰을 때 어떻게 화해해야 하는지를 보여주며, 아울러 친구와 함께 나누는 즐거움을 깨닫게 해줍니다.

혼자서 집 안에서 장난감을 갖고 놀던 소녀. 어느날 옆집으로 이사 온 소년. 둘은 친구가 됩니다.
서로의 장난감들을 공유하며, 풍선놀이, 춤추고 노래부르기, 웃기는 모자쓰기 등도 함께 하면서 행복한 날들을 보냅니다.

어느날 소년에게 귀여운 토끼 인형이 새로 생겼고, 소년은 이 토끼 인형만큼은 소녀와 공유하려고 하지를 않네요. 소녀는 이 인형을 너무나도 갖고 놀고 싶어서 소년에게서 빼았으려고 했고, 소년은 절대로 뺐기지 않으려고 하면서 서로 잡아당기다가 그만 토끼의 두 귀가 떨어지고 말았어요. 화가 난 둘은 서로에게 절교를 선언하고 돌아섭니다.

이제 예전과 같이 혼자서 놀게 된 소녀... 하지만 둘이 함께 놀 때에 비해서 너무나도 재미없었어요.
소녀는 소년과 다시 화해하고 친구가 될 수 있는 좋은 방법을 생각해 냈어요. 그것은...

Book Description
Two small children become new friends and have wonderful days playing together with their toys. But when one friend gets a new toy that he is reluctant to share, the friends are no longer so friendly. This story, told in clear, simple dialogue with bright, childlike illustrations, gives straightforward insight into the complications that can threaten even the best of friendships. The youngest audience will delight in the simple resolution that mends these friends' relationship as well as their toy.


Booklist
Jahn-Clough moves from basic alphabet and counting books to an elemental friendship story. A toddler is happy playing with her toys. She makes a friend with a boy who moves in next door, and they have fun. Then one day, they fight when she grabs his bunny and it breaks. She feels lonely, says sorry, and the friends make up. Young preschoolers will like the bright, simple, childlike illustrations, and they will feel the dramatic contrast when the friends stop playing and start to yell and pull and grab and shout. With a nice touch, the friends repair the bunny, and all their toys, with Band-Aids, which put things right.


Horn Book
When a boy moves in next door, a young girl makes a friend. They play together happily until a fight over a toy results in the boy's stuffed rabbit's being damaged. The girl realizes it's not fun to play alone, and she has an idea that repairs both the rabbit and their friendship. The richly colored illustrations with strong black outlines are more effective than the somewhat flat text.


Kirkus Reviews
"A skirmish over a favorite stuffed rabbit nearly destroys a friendship and the toy itself, but well-timed physical and emotional bandaging saves the day. When a little boy moves in next door to a little girl they quickly becomes friends and start sharing toys. This works well for cars, trucks, bears, and balls, but when the boy shows up with a new stuffed rabbit, cooperation goes out the window. In the ensuing tug-of-rabbit, each child yanks on the poor bunny's ears until the stitching gives way. Figuring out a way to repair the rabbit also eventually patches up the friendship. Minor battles rage in homes and preschools everywhere, so children and adults alike will appreciate this subtle example of a peaceful resolution to toy disputes. Jahn-Clough's pleasantly stubby children convey both healthy loud-mouthed anger and substantial charm."
