한글로 번역하면 밋밋하니 아무 맛도 없지만, 영어는 4개의 간단한 문장이 전부 opper로 끝나는 기막힌 Rhyme으로 되어 있어서 읽다보면 자신도 모르게 감탄하면서 미소짓게 됩니다.

What is 페이퍼백? 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.

페이퍼백입니다.

Book Description
In Douglas Florian's latest menagerie of twenty-one original poems and paintings, readers will be laughing out loud at the sheer silliness of his animal observations. With mammals ranging from the howling coyote and the wood-chopping beaver to the daring ibex and the speedy tiger, here is a zooful of furry fun like no other!


Publishers Weekly
Like Florian's Insectlopedia, this collection of 21 short light verse brims with whimsy and fun. He plays with the double A in aardvark ("Aardvarks look better/ By faar in the daark") and the growling R in an ode to the tiger. In "The Bactrian Camel" the entire text of the poem forms the shape of a camel's back: "Mr. Bactrian, a question for you--about your back: one lump or two?" Many of the entries are one-liners--"Some people wear fur coats of lynx./ I/ think/ that/ stynx." More developed verse recalls Ogden Nash ("I state more emphatic:/ An otter's aquatic"). Florian's humor is eccentric, but just right for his target audience. The gouache illustrations painted on primed brown paper bags, full of unusual textures and inventive designs, match the creativity of the word play. The otter lounges in a claw-foot bathtub reading a book titled H2O. Florian specializes in the unexpected. For instance, the rhebok stands in its tennis shoes because its "main/ Claim to fame/ Is its name." The artwork taps into childlike qualities without being simplistic; the animal portraits are clever yet appropriate. An irresistible homage to mammal memorabilia.


Children's Literature
"Aardvarks aare odd." "Some people wear fur coats of lynx. I think that stynx." The Ibex....Each one must climb with skill complex...Or else become an ex-ibex." And on and on it goes, from beaver to fox and lemur to tapir. The familiar and the unfamiliar are all portrayed in verse and softly colored illustrations (originally painted in gouache on brown paper bags, by the way)! Douglas Florian's brief poems are silly and clever, funny and serious. They will certainly make children laugh and could easily stimulate a student's own imaginative attempts with either a pencil or a paintbrush. Teachers will have an opportunity to discuss free verse and poetic license. The pictures have a very simple, childlike quality that could encourage attempts at illustrating by youngsters who normally consider themselves "not good drawers." Mammalabilia is an excellent choice for an elementary or middle school unit on either poetry or mammals, or just a fun read for a class or a family. 2000, Harcourt, Ages 5 to 14, $16.00.
