* A Junior Library Guild Selection
주인공 꼬마가 물놀이를 하러 뒷마당에 있는 수영장에 갔을 때 놀라운 광경을 보게 됩니다. 커다란 고래가 수영장 위에 떡하니 올라가 있네요.
엄마에게 수영장에 고래가 있다고 알려주지만 엄마는 귀담아 듣지도 않고 선크림을 바르라는 말만 하네요.
물놀이가 너무나도 하고 싶어서 고래를 수영장에서 옮기기 위해 온갖 방법을 다 동원하지만 고래는 꼼짝도 하지 않습니다. 심지어 크레인을 불러서 들어 올리려고 했습니다만, 고래가 너무 무거워서 줄이 끊어지는 바람에 실패하고 마네요. 꼬마는 이대로 포기하고 말까요? 아니면 다른 좋은 방법을 생각해 낼까요?
어린 아이들의 취향을 저격하는 엉뚱하고 기상천외한 이야기여서 낄낄거리며 즐길 수 있는 재미있고 유머러스한 책입니다.

Book Description
One sunny day, a little boy heads outside for a swim, but his pool is already taken . . . There's a big whale in the water and it's not budging! The boy tries everything to get the whale to leave. Nothing seems to work. Not fetch. Not tag. Not even offering his allowance. What's a boy to do? Luckily, he comes up with the perfect solution: he decides to chill out on a spray of water over the whale's spout.
This colorful whale of a tale from the talented Joyce Wan is sure to inspire giggles from little guppies!
The New York Times Book Review
Wan's curvilinear and comforting style recalls Hello Kitty and other Japanese pop art in its fat dark lines and squat characters, but the hero has an antic physicality and a wide range of emotional expressions. Her world feels safe and joyful, even as the hero experiences anger and frustration.
School Library Journal
Wan's illustrations of rounded figures in bright colors demonstrate her professed inspiration from Japanese pop culture. A toddler in red swim trunks races outside to enjoy his blow-up pool, only to find an enormous blue whale in blissful residence. His mother's response to "Mooooooom, there's a whale in my swimming pool" is "Great honey. Don't forget about sunscreen," so the child attempts relocation via bribery, polite suggestion, and a game of fetch. He even employs a crane-which breaks. He finally decides to share the pool by climbing on the whale, and enjoys riding on its water spout. Unfortunately, when naptime arrives, the child discovers a snoring bear in his bed. Large, colorful illustrations set against ample space make this appropriate for group sharing. VERDICT Though this tale is a bit formulaic, some droll touches, such as the shark in the neighbor's pool, keep it fun.
Publishers Weekly
Using an adorably chunky kawaii aesthetic that fans of her previous books will recognize, Wan (Sleepyheads) serves up a whale-size dilemma... Wan's comedic sensibilities shine as the boy tries various methods to remove the whale, which maintains a state of unruffled serenity... A compromise lets everyone win, while a zinger ending suggests the boy's animal problems are only beginning. Wan's cuddly, candid world is the sort that readers will want to step into again and again. |
