[ 책 소개 ]
미국 선생님들이 선정한 100대 도서인 Stellaluna의 저자 Janell Cannon의 또 다른 대표작.
어린 구렁이인 베르디는 노란색 피부와 자신의 몸에 있는 줄무늬를 자랑스러워 합니다. 그리고 항상 나무에 매달려서 움직이지 않는 게으른 큰 녹색뱀들과 같이 되는 것을 싫어합니다. 혼자서 나무 꼭대기에 올라간 베르디는 한쪽 나무줄기는 입으로 물고, 다른 나무줄기는 몸으로 감고 있다가 풀어주니까 마치 용수철이 튀어 나가듯 하늘로 날아올라갔어요... 하지만 자연의 섭리를 거스릴 수는 없는 법. 어느 날 베르디는 자신의 껍질이 벗겨 지면서 피부색이 녹색으로 변하는 것을 발견했어요. 처음에는 당황하고 실망했으나, 녹색 뱀이 된다고 해서 꼭 게을러질 필요가 없다는 것을 깨닫게 됩니다. 하늘을 날기를 좋아 하게된 베르디의 모험과 성장의 이야기를 사진과 같이 선명하고 예쁜 그림과 함께 감상할 수 있습니다.

Annotation
A young python does not want to grow slow and boring like the older snakes he sees in the tropical jungle where he lives.
From the Publisher
Young Verdi doesn't want to grow up big and green. He likes his bright yellow skin and sporty stripes. Besides, all the green snakes he meets are lazy, boring, and rude. When Verdi finds a pale green stripe stretching along his whole body, he tries every trick he can think of to get rid of it--and ends up in a heap of trouble. Despite his efforts, Verdi turns green, but to his delight, he discovers that being green doesn't mean he has to stop being himself.
Children's Literature
A funny, decidedly offbeat picture book, Verdi is about a young python who wants to remain quick and bright yellow his whole life. Who'd want to be big, green, slow and boring like the adult snakes? His refusal to grow up leads to some foolish behavior that nearly kills him; "neatly splinted to a branch" by his elders, he learns to appreciate the natural way of things while maintaining his youthful spirit. Kids will identify with Verdi's dealings with the bigger snakes; these "grownups" are too busy or too tired to play, and they're constantly admonishing him about his shortcomings. Hmmm.... Cannon's greeny-gold illustrations impart a nice jungly feeling, and the look of insane joy on Verdi's face as he slingshots through the air is priceless. - Donna Freedman
Children's Literature
In this delightful story, a young python named Verdi loves his bright yellow skin and cannot understand why his mother wants him to grow up and become big and green. Proud of his saffron scales, he ventures up to the treetops to find out what's so great about being green. After meeting a group of lazy, boring, and rude green snakes, Verdi decides that green is out! While trying to maintain his lemon-colored skin, he ends up in a heap of trouble. Rescued by the older snakes, Verdi recuperates on a tree and listens to their interesting tales about their youth. Despite his efforts, he turns as green as the leaves on the trees and discovers that being green does not mean that he has to stop being himself. When he meets two young and very yellow pythons, he surprises them by doing a fancy figure eight. The same author/illustrator who created the award-winning book Stellaluna uses brilliant illustrations and well-crafted text to bring readers face-to-face with snakes and their different stages of development. Youngsters will treasure this colorful foray into the tropical world of slithery snakes. - Debra Briatico
Kirkus Reviews
Cannon (Trupp, 1995, etc.) strikes a fragile balance between fact and fiction in her presentation of Verdi, a very small, bright yellow python who does not want to grow up into the adult snakes he knows: green, boring, and rude. He tries to race off, wash off, and cover up all signs of his own encroaching green, until an accident forces him to slow down. He grows up big and green and slumbrously silent as he drapes on a branch in the tropical sun. When two very yellow, very small pythons chance upon him as he basks, they fidget and whisper and snicker; rather than be annoyed, Verdi recognizes that "they're just like I used to be" and offers to show them the fancy figure eight he perfected, with some mishap, as a youngster. He may be an adult, but he's still the same old Verdi, he thinks, rejoicing—a delightful, airy thought to leave with young readers. Once again, the author's acrylic and colored pencil full-page drawings are carefully observed, apt, and radiant. An afterword provides sufficient information on snakes to appease those in search of deeper knowledge. |
