Caldecott 수상작가인 Steve Jenkins의 콜라쥬 기법을 이용한 아름다운 그림책입니다. 이 책에 등장하는 모든 동물들의 그림은 축소하거나 확대하지 않은 실제 크기의 그림입니다.
이 책에서는 다양한 동물들이 크기를 대비하여 보여 주면서 자연의 신비로움을 느끼게 합니다. 일반적으로 물고기는 물 위에 떨어진 나방을 잡아 먹습니다만, Atlas Moth라는 나방은 크기가 약 30cm에 달하는 반면, Dwarf Goby라는 물고기는 크기가 0.8cm 밖에 되지 않습니다. Giant Squid라는 오징어는 몸길이가 18cm에 달하고, 눈의 크기만 해도 사람 머리보다큰 직경 30cm에 달합니다. 이외에도 지구상의 가장 큰 육식 동물인 알래스카 갈색곰, 가장 큰 조류인 타조, 혀 길이가 60cm에 달하는 개미핥기, 새를 잡아먹는 거대한 타란튤라 거미, 가장 큰 파충류인 몸길이가 7미터에 달하는 바다악어, 쥐까지 잡아먹는 가장 큰 양서류인 골리앗 개구리를 비롯해, 고릴라와 피그미원숭이, 시베리아 호랑이, 골리앗 딱정벌레, 자이언트 대벌레, 아프리카 코끼리 등 가장 크거나 가장 작은 동물들을 실제 크기의 그림을 통해 보여줍니다.

표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Book Description
How big is a crocodile? What about a tiger, or the world's largest spider? Can you imagine a tongue that is two feet long or an eye that's bigger than your head? Sometimes facts and figures don't tell the whole story. Sometimes you need to see things for yourself at their actual size.
The Washington Post
As in his earlier books...Jenkins builds richly textured images from torn and cut paper. Meticulously constructed, they capture details down to the last whisker of a Siberian tiger...Young zoologists will enjoy seeing how they measure up with the creatures on each page.
Publisher's Weekly
Animals in Action A trio of titles explores the animal kingdom. Actual Size by Steve Jenkins is the Caldecott Honor artist's latest foray into the natural world. Here, his signature cut- and torn-paper collage artwork depicts animals to scale, imitating fur and skin remarkably. The title page shows a "pygmy shrew, 2 inches long" and readers can view only one 12-inch eye of the giant squid (it can grow up to 59 feet long); the man-eating saltwater crocodile requires a three-page foldout to depict its toothy countenance.
Children's Literature
In his trademark paper collage, Jenkins has explained the concept of size in the animal kingdom to children who will pore over these extraordinary illustrations. From tarantulas to frogs, each page is intriguing in what it reveals. In addition to the accurate size and weight of the animal, the illustration brings it alive before your eyes. Pull-out pages of the saltwater crocodile and Goliath frog are particularly amazing in their scope. As usual, Jenkins includes more detailed information on each of the represented animals in the backmatter. For those little ones hungry for nonfiction, this is a particularly engaging book.
School Library Journal
In striking torn-and-cut paper collages, Jenkins depicts 18 animals and insects-or a part of their body-in actual size. One illustration compares an atlas moth with a 12-inch wingspan to a dwarf goby fish, which is 1/3-inch long. The eye of a giant squid, at a foot across, occupies a spread to terrific effect; only the snout and tongue-curling its two-foot length across two pages and littered with termites-are visible in the picture of the giant anteater. The hand of a gorilla fills a page opposite the entire pygmy mouse lemur with its tiny human-fingertip-sized palm. The saltwater crocodile grows to 23 feet, so tremendous that its head occupies a three-page foldout. On the reverse side is the rat-eating Goliath frog, a staggering 36 inches long in full hop. One or two lines of text briefly introduce each animal and give specific measurements, e.g., the gorilla stands 5 1/2 feet tall and weighs 600 pounds, while the mouse lemur is 2 1/2 inches tall and weighs 1 ounce. The end matter offers full pictures of the creatures and more details about their habitats and habits. Mixing deceptive simplicity with absolute clarity, this beautiful book is an enticing way to introduce children to the glorious diversity of our natural world, or to illustrate to budding scientists the importance of comparison, measurement, observation, and record keeping. A thoroughly engaging read-aloud and a must-have for any collection.
Kirkus Reviews
A new exploration of the biological world, from one of the current masters of collage, features life-size-not scaled-representations of the extremes of the animal kingdom. Wonderfully textured collages are set against a white background, accompanied by a minimal text gloss about the animals, and their sizes. Some are so huge that only parts can be seen (the one-foot-diameter eye of a giant squid) and others require some squinting (the 1/3-inch dwarf goby). It's a fascinating subject, and one that will resonate with an audience for whom relative size is a matter of daily interest. Jenkins exploits it for all its worth, including a fold-out of a crocodile's jaw and a snarling tiger whose face spills off the page. Four concluding pages provide more information about the featured animals, along with reasonably sized, full-body reiterations of the illustrations. Sadly enough, however, in a book that is so intimately concerned with measurement, only English units are used, seemingly ignoring the fact that the metric system is the universal language of science worldwide. A regrettable flaw in an otherwise outstanding offering. |
