[ 책 소개 ]
베스트셀러 그림책인 Snowmen at Night를 비롯해서 Escape Of Marvin The Ape, It's a Spoon Not a Shovel 등 다수의 인기 그림책을 함께 만든 부부작가 Caralyn과 Mark Buehner의 작품입니다.
덱스터는 다리가 짧은 닥스훈트종 개입니다. 마치 미트볼 4개 위에 긴 소세지를 얹어 놓은 것 같이 보이지요. 친구들은 걸음도 느리고 눈에도 잘 띄지 않는 덱스터를 놀이에 부르지 않습니다. 심지어 고양이 클리비스는 덱스터를 배 밑에 두고 서서는 그를 놀림감으로 만들기도 합니다.
따돌림 받고 무시 당하는 작고 힘없는 덱스터는 하지만 큰 꿈을 지니고 있습니다. 슈퍼맨과 같이 영웅이 되어서 위험에 처한 사람과 동물들을 구해주고, 도움을 필요로 할 경우에는 기꺼이 자신의 힘을 빌려주는 것입니다. 슈퍼맨과 같은 영웅이 되기 위해 덱스터는 자신의 몸을 수련하기로 합니다. 매일같이 하루도 쉬지 않고, 눈이 오나 비가 오나, 낮이나 밤이나 달리고 운동하면서 힘을 키웠습니다.
그리고 마침내 충분히 힘을 길렀다고 생각했을 때, 덱스터는 멋진 슈퍼독 복장을 하고 본격적인 활동을 시작했습니다.어린 강아지가 길을 안전하게 건널 수 있도록 도와주기, 하수구에 떠내려 가는 생쥐를 건져 주기, 지갑을 훔쳐가는 소매치기의 다리를 붙들고 늘어지기, 고무 호스를 이빨로 구멍을 내서 스프링클러를 만들어주기, 잃어버린 고양이를 찾아주기, 위험한 전기줄로 다가가는 쥐를 못가게 막기, 쓰레기통에 난 불을 끄기, 하수구 안에 빠트린 지갑 꺼내주기, 그리고 동네 청소의 날을 만들기... 비록 슈퍼맨과 같이 하늘을 날거나 자동차를 번쩍 들어올리는 초능력은 없지만 덱스터의 이런 봉사와 선행들이 동네에서 인정받게 되고, 누구든지 도움이 필요하면 덱스터를 찾게 되었습니다.
그리고 어느 늦은 저녁에 동네의 모든 동물들이 몰려 와서 덱스터에게 도움을 청하는 일이 벌어집니다. 한 때 덱스터를 놀렸던 고양이 클리비스가 다람쥐를 쫓아 나무 꼭대기에 올라갔다가 그만 나무가지에 대롱대롱 매달리는 위험에 처해 버린 것입니다. 황급히 사고 현장으로 달려간 덱스터는 까마득하게 높은 나무 꼭대기에 매달여 있는 클리비스를 발견하고는 그를 구해줄 수 있는 묘안을 생각해 냅니다...
짜임새 있는 줄거리의 전개, 유머가 넘치는 그림, 그리고 신나는 결말이 어우러진 재미있는 그림책입니다.
* 그리고 이 책의 보너스 : 눈을 크게 뜨고 각 페이지의 그림들을 구석구석 세밀하게 살펴보면 각 페이지마다 교묘하게 숨어 있는 토끼, 고양이, 티라노 공룡의 그림들을 발견할 수 있습니다. 대충 봐서는 절대로 발견할 수 없으며 고도의 집중력과 관찰력을 발휘해야만 발견할 수 있습니다. 도전해 보시기를!!!

Book Description
Dexter is a little dog. He's so little that the other dogs forget to invite him to play, and Cleevis the tomcat bullies him.
But little Dexter has dreams -- big dreams. He wants to be a superhero. So Dexter starts a superhero training program. And suddenly, even Cleevis needs his help!
In Superdog, husband-and-wife team Mark and Caralyn Buehner have created a timeless story about a true superhero. Dexter has determination, spirit, and heart as he proves, above all, that no matter how little you are, you can still do very big things.
The Washington Post
In Superdog: The Heart of a Hero...husband-and-wife team Caralyn and Mark Buehner follow Dexter's entertaining journey from pipsqueak to power-pooch...Mark Buehner's energetic illustrations, some of which are designed to resemble comic book panels, are full of bright colors and humorous details. Readers will also enjoy finding a slew of tiny animal shapes hidden in the artwork.
Publishers Weekly
Not a bird, not a plane, but a super-determined dachshund named Dexter steals the show in the Buehners' (Snowmen at Night) picture book. Short of stature, Dex endures rude indifference or energetic taunting from the other pooches in the neighborhood as well as the bullying ringleader, a tomcat named Cleevis. But deep inside, Dex believes he has the heart of a hero, just like the characters in comic books and movies. The humble pup embarks on a rigorous training regimen and mail-orders a hero suit-complete with cape-to go along with his new buff body and attitude. Soon Dex's helpful feats earn him respect, gratitude and happiness-and the opportunity to show Cleevis how it's done. Caralyn Buehner's feel-good tale has a triumphal, never-smug tone that will strike a chord with underdogs everywhere. Mark Buehner infuses his velvety oil paintings with characteristic humor and warmth. He adds a few dashes of comic-book-style text blocks and panel art to underscore the superhero theme. Scenes of Dex flexing his muscles, panting during his sidewalk runs or sporting his green-and-red superdog outfit are laugh-out-loud funny. Elsewhere, shady brownstone stoops and colorful city storefronts and streets add extra flair to this dynamic effort.
Children's Literature
Dexter the dachshund is little in every way and as a result takes the brunt of bullying from the other dogs and from Cleevis the tomcat. In an effort to attain his dream of being a hero, he embarks on a fitness regime that he adheres to with tenacity that leaves him "faster than a rolling ball, stronger than the toughest rawhide, able to leap tall fences in a single bound!" Buffed and beautiful his look is complete with the arrival of his red suit with the shiny green cape. The crusading Dex, exuding confidence, springs into action at the first sign of trouble and helps small dogs cross the street, pulls a rat from a live wire, and finds a lost kitten. Still he cannot shake the taunting of Cleevis and his rowdy friends until the night when a call of alarm goes out...Cleevis is stuck in a tree! Ever the super hero Dex proves that the little guy can come out on top in this droll little story that never lets the message get in the way. Bold illustrations that capture his humiliation and triumphs are filled with hidden cats, rabbits and even a Tyrannosaurus Rex. You cannot help but cheer for this little underdog with the great big heart.
Library Journal
Dexter the dachshund is an underdog-literally. Cleevis the tomcat enjoys demonstrating how he can stand right over Dex and not even ruffle his fur. What the pooch lacks in size, however, he makes up for in determination, and when he decides to stop just dreaming of being a hero and devote his life to becoming one, he is unstoppable. The first step on his journey is the library, where the poodle who assists him is wearing glasses and sports what looks suspiciously like a bun. He sets himself a strict exercise regime, pushing himself to the limit: "Even at bedtime, when he wanted to flop on the rug with his tongue hanging out, Dex forced himself to circle five extra times." He finally achieves his goal (his muscle-man poses are priceless), dons a Superdog suit, and proceeds to use his hard-earned prowess for the good of all. When he eventually comes to the rescue of a stranded Cleevis, a new partnership is formed with "twice the brains and triple the brawn." The story line may be a bit predictable, but the Buehners' considerable talents render it fresh and funny. The author has created a lovable and memorable character in the endearing and stalwart Dex, and the illustrator's retro-style artwork is charming. As in Fanny's Dream (Dial, 1996), he has added to the fun by hiding cats, rabbits, and even a Tyrannosaurus rex in the clouds and shadows. This dynamic combination of heart and humor should not be missed.
Kirkus Reviews
The Buehners convincingly suggest that heroes, super or otherwise, are self-made. Looking "like a plump sausage on four little meatballs," Dexter the dachshund is derided by all the other pooches and even the hulking tomcat Cleevis. Determined, however, to turn his dreams of becoming a superhero into reality, he undertakes a relentless program of study and exercise, orders a form-fitting, red-and-green hero suit, and proudly takes on the work of a Hero. That could be helping a puppy cross the street, tackling a purse-snatcher, putting out a trash-can fire, or organizing a neighborhood cleanup day. Flexing stubby but well-muscled arms, Dex cuts a distinctive figure in the illustrations as he grows into his role, striding with new self-confidence through his all-animal urban community, ever ready to help those in need. In the end, he even rescues Cleevis from a tree, picking up a sidekick as a result. Faster than a speeding bullet? More powerful than a locomotive? No-but this low-slung role model shows the inner stuff, both to transform himself, and to rise to the challenges that come his way. |
