[ 책 소개 ]
유머러스한 내용과 만화같은 그림을 특징으로 하는 베스트셀러 그림책 작가인 Babette Cole의 작품입니다.
집에 어린 아기가 새로 태어나자 애완견 트루러브는 자신에게 멀어지는 가족들의 사랑을 되찾기 위해 백방으로 노력을 합니다만, 그 때마다 오히려 상황이 악화되기만 합니다. 쥐를 잡아서 아기에게 나눠주려고 하다가 주인에게 혼이 나고, 관심을 끌려고 전구줄에 매달렸다가 와장창 꽃병에 떨어지는가 하면, 노래를 불러주려고 멍멍 짖다가 잠자는 아기를 깨워서 결국은 마당의 개집으로 쫓겨나고 맙니다. 트루러브는 주인에게 버림받았다고 생각하고 가출을 합니다. 아기가 태어난 후 귀찮은 존재로 여겼던 트루러브가 막상 보이지 않게 되자 주인은 트루러브를 얼마나 사랑하고 있는지 깨닫게 되고...

Book Description
Truelove loves his family more than anything, but when a new baby arrives he feels left out. He loses his spot on the bed, gets in trouble for trying to share his mouse with the baby, and even gets sent outside to sleep in the doghouse. With nowhere left to turn, Truelove runs away. When Truelove's family discovers he is missing, they suddenly understand what real love is all about.
Publisher's Weekly
Cole (The BAD Good Manners Book) turns greeting-card sentiment inside out in this pictorial tale of Truelove, a lonesome dog whose owners dote on their new baby. Syrupy captions about caring, offset by miniature hearts, contradict images of Truelove groveling for attention and being ignored. Under the platitude "Love cures all hurt," Truelove holds up an injured paw; in the next image, he licks his wound while the new parents tend the infant in the background. To show that "Love makes your heart sing," Truelove howls, "I Loo... ve yooou... Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!" and gets banished to the rainy front stoop: "That's it, Truelove. Out!" The poignant situation becomes a dire emergency when Truelove joins a pack of runaway hounds. Luckily, his masters rescue him and his friends from the pound, and Truelove has no hard feelings ("Love means forgiving"). Cole tells the story in scraggly, anti-cute watercolors, with italicized asides from the dog, and she lets irony accumulate in the mawkish definitions of unconditional love. Like William Steig's Made for Each Other, this list of cliches ends on a realistic note. The conclusion ("Sometimes love isn't easy, but there's always enough to go around") is not framed by whimsical hearts, and the picture shows Truelove changing the smiling baby's diaper. Busy families may cast a guilty eye toward their loyal pets; displaced older siblings will relate to Cole's generous, and not at all misnamed, hero.
Children's Literature
When a new baby arrives at pooch Truelove's home, life becomes difficult for him. Put outside when his behavior is misunderstood, Truelove gets into trouble when he takes up with a scruffy bunch of renegade dogs. Meanwhile, his master and mistress realize how much they miss him. Fortunately, love shines through, and "there's always enough to go around." Told in brief sentences on alternating pages, Truelove's profound thoughts about love in dialog with the family are amusingly tongue-in-cheek. Full-page watercolor drawings, sometimes framed and heart-decorated, provide the lighthearted context for the frantic actions. Cole creates personalities that generate smiles; her anthropomorphic canines are right at home with the scatty humans. As he hugs the baby on the jacket/cover, Truelove can steal your heart.
School Library Journal
A dog must teach its family that there is enough love to go around when a new baby arrives. On double-page spreads, platitudes like "Love means sharing" face hilarious illustrations of the consequences, such as Truelove offering a mouse to the baby. "Love makes your heart sing" shows the pooch belting out "I Loo-ve yooou-Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!" and then being ushered out the door by the frazzled parents, infant screaming. Chock-full of Cole's humor and trademark cartoons, the story shows that love really does conquer all. It's all very funny, but adults are likely to appreciate the humor much more than children will. Rosemary Wells's McDuff and the Baby (Hyperion, 1997) is a better choice for youngsters coping with sharing their parents with a new sibling.
Kirkus Reviews
Putting a characteristically screwy spin on the sappy "Love Is . . . " formula, Cole (Hair in Funny Places, 2000, etc.) matches platitudes-"Love feels like a warm puppy," "Love means sharing," "Love makes you do silly things sometimes"-to wild scenes. She features a pop-eyed little dog who runs away from home after the arrival of a new baby, then falls in with other strays who commandeer a car to crash into a sausage shop, and is finally rescued from police custody (along with all of the other dogs) by the remorseful parents. It's all in good fun, ends with a reassuring thought-"Sometimes love isn't easy, but there's always enough to go around"-and makes a refreshing anodyne to the gooier valentines of Joan Walsh Anglund, Charlotte Zolotow, and their legions of modern imitators. |
