[ 책 소개 ]
열대 우림의 따뜻한 기후속에서 숲의 모든 것을 평화로웠습니다. 그러나 점차 사람들이 숲을 개척하게 되면서 모든 상황이 변하게 되었습니다. 마침내 재규어런디(중남미산의 살쾡이의 일종)가 열대 우림의 동물들을 설득하기 시작합니다. '자유를 찾아 강을 가로질러 북쪽으로 달려가야 한다!' 하지만 다른 동물들은 차례 차례 그들이 여기서 살아야 할 이유를 대면서 반대의 뜻을 표합니다. 유일하게 재규어런디의 뜻에 동참한 동물은 쿠아티(곰의 일종) 뿐이었어요. 그리고 재규어런디와 쿠아티는 북쪽으로의 위험한 여정을 시작합니다...
인간의 환경 파괴로 인해 자유와 희망을 찾아 모험을 떠나는 동물들의 사실적인 이야기가 전개됩니다. 마지막 페이지에 책에 나왔던 중앙 아메리카와 남아메리카에 사는 17종의 동물들의 그림과 간단한 소개가 나와 있습니다.
또한 작가의 대형 사진과 친필 사인이 들어있어 더욱 소장가치가 있습니다.

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.

Annotation
Although the other animals also feel threatened by the encroachment of humans, only Rundi and Coati journey north in search of a safer place to live.
From the Publisher
Reissued in a stunning, accessible package, Jaguarundi now includes all-new cover art, a full-color author photo, author signature, and a personal letter to the reader. "This compelling picture book is an animal fantasy rooted in the physical reality."--Booklist.
Children's Literature
My difficulties with this book stem, I think, from the fact that I don't know what it is supposed to be. Is it a folktale explaining how animals adapt to their environments, or how jaguarundis came to live in desert climates? Is it a metaphor for the search for freedom that has motivated countless groups of people to leave the safety of their homeland for the possibility of better times and situations? Is it an environmental plea? I don't know the answer to those questions, but I do know that the book does not succeed on all these levels simultaneously. It is difficult to connect with the characters and their problems-again perhaps because I had trouble simply identifying the basic problem. Also, the time lapse seemed confusing. An animal species adapted to life in the rainforest would need more time than Jaguarundi seems to have spent on his journey to be able to survive in a desert habitat. Stunning artwork and the illustrated animal glossary are definitely the bright spots here. - Judy Katsh
School Library Journal
An original fantasy that ``introduces young readers to a variety of real rain forest animals.'' As the ecosystem is gradually being tamed by humans who clear the land to build homes, ranches, and farms, Rundi Jaguarundi decides to move north where the great Rio Bravo flows and the forest canopy is still said to exist. He invites Coatimundia and other animals to accompany him. Big Brown Bat decides to stay, advising the others to learn to adapt, because there will always be danger, always be change. Jaguar announces he will not give up his hunting ground-it's him or them. Only Coatimundi decides to go with his friend. When they reach the Rio Bravo, it, too, has been claimed by man, so they continue on separately. Eventually Rundi settles down to raise a family. A picture glossary lists and defines the common animals found in Central and South America. Cooper's paintings convey the misty heat of the tropical habitat. The animals are realistically depicted, but the story and pictures do take liberties with the animal groupings-prey and predator stand together. The strength of this book is in its smooth presentation of cogent reasons for preserving the rain forest and its dwellers. A valuable curriculum item, which will fill many needs.-Karen K. Radtke, Milwaukee Public Library
Booklist
Younger for reading aloud. This compelling picture book is an animal fantasy rooted in physical reality. A jaguarundi (wildcat) tries to persuade the endangered animals of the rain forest to run north across the river to freedom, but one by one the other animals give their reasons for staying where they are. "Adapt," says the bat. "I'll never flee nor change my ways," gloats a powerful predator. Only the raccoonlike coati joins the jaguarundi on the perilous journey north. This isn't a formula story: the two emigrants find no paradise. The Promised Land has also been fenced and stripped by settlers. But the travelers adapt, and they survive in their new place. Hamilton says in a note that "the story parallels humans who escape their homelands in search of better, safer lives." The facts about the real animals are as powerful as the metaphor, and Cooper's glowing paintings capture the elusive beauty of each wild creature in its habitat. We feel the strength and the fragility as we try to know more. The book ends with small paintings and brief factual paragraphs about each of the 17 species mentioned in the story: where they live, how they behave, how endangered they are. Hazel Rochman |

그림이 너무 무섭습니다.
