국내에는 "책벌레 찌르찌르"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 명작그림책입니다.
칼빈은 찌르레기 꼬마새입니다. 칼빈의 형제들과 누이들과 사촌들은 태어나자마자 벌레를 잡고, 몸을 씻고, 나는 법을 배우는 등 ‘새’로서 살아가기 위해 알아야 할 것들을 배우느라 열심입니다. 하지만 칼빈은 오로지 책을 읽는 재미에 푹 빠져 살았습니다. 다른 찌르레기들은 칼빈을 ‘책벌레’라며 놀리고 따돌리지요. 가을이 되자, 찌르레기새들은 모두 따뜻한 남쪽으로 떠나야 합니다. 책만 읽느라 나는 법을 배우지 못한 칼빈은 형제 자매들이 여러 가닥의 줄로 칼빈의 몸을 묶은 후 힘을 합쳐서 끌고 날아 오르는 덕분에 남쪽으로 함께 떠날 수 있게 됩니다.
긴긴 여행 도중 칼빈은 날씨가 이상하게 변하는 것을 보고는 날씨에 관한 책에서 읽었던 내용들을 생각해 냅니다. 그리고 곧 태풍이 몰아 칠 것이라는 것을 알아차립니다. 칼빈은 태풍이 얼마나 무서운지를 설명해 주고 다른 찌르레기들을 동굴로 안전하게 피신시킵니다. 칼빈 덕분에 살아난 다른 찌르레기들은 칼빈을 위해 파티를 열어주고, 칼빈은 흥에 겨워 날개짓을 하면서 폴짝폴짝 뛰다가 자신도 모르게 하늘로 날아 오르게 됩니다. 칼빈이 드디어 하늘을 나는 법을 깨우치게 되었네요. 칼빈은 맨 앞에서 날면서 찌르레기 무리들을 따뜻한 남쪽으로 안전하게 이끌고 갔습니다...

Book Description
Calvin is one unusual starling! While his siblings and cousins learn to fly, this rare bird lets his imagination soar while reading about pirates, dinosaurs, and other fascinating things.
The other birds call him "geeky beaky," but Calvin just ruffles his feathers and buries his beak in a book. Yet, when it comes time to migrate, poor Calvin suddenly realizes he can't fly! His sisters, brothers, and cousins carry him into the air.
But on their way south, the winds blow hard, the trees bend, and the air starts to smell strange. It's a hurricane, and only Calvin can save the day-because he has read all about it!
Witty illustrations, an endearing hero, and a delightful story make this a true celebration of the pleasures of reading!
Kirkus Reviews *Starred Review*
The irresistible story of a proud bookworm will put smiles on the faces of readers of all ages. Calvin is a young starling with a huge family. While his brothers, sisters and 67,432 cousins are off discovering nature and learning to fly, Calvin is content to keep his beak in a good book - books will take him places his wings never could, after all. When the season changes and it is time to migrate, Calvin realizes he was too busy learning...to learn how to fly! His loving family find a way to bring him along, but they run into treacherous weather along their journey. Luckily, Calvin has read just what to do and saves his entire flock. The illustrations are wildly original and full of funny details (check out the highly technical flight classes and the cows' lipstick). With their stick legs, flat heads and fluffy hair(s), the starlings are endearingly comical. Between its heartwarming (but never treacly) story and quirky illustrations, this tale should be a staple among book-loving families as well as in libraries and elementary classrooms for years to come.
Publishers Weekly
"In a lively children's book debut, Bendis contributes gouache cartoons that bring action and droll wit to Berne's (Manfish: A Story of Jacques Cousteau) story about valuable experiences to be found both inside and outside books. Young starling Calvin--humorously depicted as a squarish, wide-eyed bird with long, spindly legs--is a loner. While his seven siblings and more than 67,000 cousins ("Starlings have big families") learn how to fly, Calvin spends his days reading. Hurt by taunts of "nerdy birdie" and "geeky beaky," the book lover waddles to the library, "the only place where he was happy." When it's time to head south for the winter and Calvin still doesn't know how to fly, the other starlings gamely tie strings to him to tow him along. An approaching hurricane gives Calvin a chance to show off his book smarts ("We need to get out of the path of a violent, tropical weather system, which... will not diminish until it encounters large stretches of landmass!"). Regular doses of humor in the text and art happily keep the story from migrating into sentimentality.
School Library Journal
While Calvin's siblings learn things birds need to know, the young starling has his beak buried in books. He reads adventure stories, legends, and poetry while his brothers and sisters chase bugs and learn to fly. Calvin is happiest in the library. “His books took him to places wings never could. And his heart fluttered with excitement.” When autumn arrives, all the starlings prepare to go south - except Calvin. The flock takes off without him, but his brothers and sisters come to his aid. They tie strings around his waist and take off, towing Calvin along with them. He is excited as he sees the things he's read about, but soon he senses that they are heading into a hurricane. The starlings don't know what a hurricane is but heed his warning and take refuge in a cave. They are safe as the storm roars by. During the celebration that follows, Calvin hops and flaps in jubilation and realizes that he does know how to fly. The gouache illustrations show the starlings looking square and rather penguinlike. The pictures are pleasant but not interesting enough to carry the slight story. While a book that touts the pleasure and usefulness of reading is usually welcome, this one falls short. |
