[ 책 소개 ]
화가 Paul O. Zelinsky는 80년대와 90년대에 모두 4차례에 걸쳐 Caldecott상을 수상한 현대 아동그림책의 대표적인 작가이며, 이 책의 저자인 Jack Prelutsky는 지난 30여년 동안 쉬우면서도 유머러스한 어린이 동시들을 많이 저술하여, 미국 어린이들이 시를 친근하게 접하고 이해할 수 있게 하는데 지대한 공헌을 했습니다.
무시무시해 보이지만 평범한 일상을 살아가는 Awful Ogre의 하루 일과를 18편의 시에 담았습니다. 아침에 일어나서 식사를 하고 폭풍우를 맞으며 서있고 춤도 추고 편지도 쓰며 점심에는 핫도그도 먹습니다. 밤이 되어 잠자리에 들때까지 외눈박이 괴물인 Awful Ogre이 자신의 일상을 시마다 다른 어조로 표현하고 있습니다. 현실과는 동떨어진 상상의 세계같은 Awful Ogre의 일상은 매우 기괴합니다. 언제나 무시무시한 다른 괴물이나 동물들과 함께 합니다. 하지만 내용의 문제일 뿐 우리와 사는 모습은 별 다를 바가 없어요.
무서운 괴물 Awful Ogre의 즐거운 일상을 18편의 시로 만나보세요.
큰 사이즈의 | 닫기x |  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.

Book Description
It's pouring. The wind is blowing down trees. Awful Ogre's rattlesnake wakes him. He tickles his piranha, scatters his rats, and disengages his leeches. Another wonderful day is about to begin.
Awful Ogre, huge, hungry, horrible, and totally lovable, will steal the heart of every reader. Larger than life—larger, in fact, than all other ogres, Awful Ogre packs into one day enough excitement, imagination, emotion, and sheer ebullience to last most of us a lifetime
Jack Prelutsky and Paul O. Zelinsky have created a tour de force of epic proportions and infinite appeal.
Book Magazine
In eighteen poems, Awful Ogre describes his gruesome daily routines: his disgusting breakfast, his wild dances, his bizarre garden, his favorite television shows on the Chopping Channel. Zelinsky, a Caldecott Award-winning artist, has great fun with his pen-and-watercolor illustrations, showing us an enormous one-eyed ogre and other not-too-scary creatures. Prelutsky's many devoted fans will undoubtedly be delighted by another poetic foray into the funny side of monsters.
Publishers Weekly
Prelutsky uncorks his latest collection of light verse, a divinely wretched celebration of subversity. Every detail of Awful Ogre's day offers possibility for gross-outs, from sunup ("I flick aside the lizard/ Clinging grimly to my chin,/ And now I feel I'm ready/ For my morning to begin") to sundown (a sly swat at Goodnight Moon as Awful Ogre drifts off to sleep with "Good night to furtive spiders/ That lurk in murky wells./ Good night to loathsome vermin/ With nauseating smells"). Whether he's writing a love letter to an ogress ("I long for the sight/ Of your craggy gray face,/ The might of your bone-breaking,/ Painful embrace") or puttering in the garden ("I'm growing carnivorous roses/ And oceans of overblown mold"), Awful Ogre proves an ideal agent for Prelutsky's oversize humor. Switching gears from the lushness of his Caldecott-winning Rapunzel, repeat collaborator Zelinsky presents Awful Ogre as a grotesque but goofy innocent, sillier than he is sinister. Awful may have only one eye and green hair, and a skunk might indeed curl up in his left nostril, yet he has a childlike sweetness as he dances (shown in a series of a dozen panels) or snuggles up in bed with his cactus. A virtuoso performance by two master funny-bone-ticklers.
Children's Literature
A series of eighteen imaginative verses, filled with gruesomely descriptive language, details the day of the ogre as told by himself. The rhythm of the rhymes changes with the subject, from disgusting meals and unusual love-letter to storm and bedtime, complete with reverse nightmares. The grisly, repulsive humor should appeal enormously to most kids; parents and teachers may find some hard to stomach through their laughter. Zelinsky draws the double-page scenes with devilish delight, tinting them with appropriate colors to enhance the graphic impact. Don't miss the borders, like that being torn on the jacket/cover by the ogre and repaired on the title page by tiny workers in hard hats. Many other inventive details are hidden throughout; both poems and illustrations will require many readings for full appreciation.
School Library Journal
This collection of 18 witty poems chronicles a day in the life of Awful Ogre. He towers over buildings and ordinary folk with his carpet of grass-green hair; red, bulbous nose; and single, large, green-and-yellow eye. He doesn't sound real cute, but underneath he's one swell guy. In "Awful Ogre's Breakfast," Prelutsky has fun with the normal breakfast routine. The spread depicts the ogre leaning back on his chair, gazing into his bowl of, yes, scream of wheat, complete with tongues and teeth. Children are sure to memorize Prelutsky's inventive verse and will avidly search the illustrations for their hidden jokes. Take for instance "Awful Ogre's TV Time," in which his favorite channel is the Chopping Network. In "Awful Ogre Dances," Prelutsky's prose stretches across the bottom half of the spread in perfect accompaniment to Zelinsky's dozen frames of Awful Ogre lithely (honestly) gliding across the top half. "I dance with abandon/Bravura, and zest,/I carom off boulders/And beat on my chest./I pirouette wildly/And leap into space/With power, panache,/And unparalleled grace." Even though Awful Ogre claims to be the awfulest of all, he remains awfully appealing throughout his rants and misadventures. Consider purchasing an extra copy-just in case he is checked out for an awfully long time. |
