아주아주 먼 옛날, 지구에는 코끼리가 지배하는 숲의 왕국, 상어가 지배하는 바다의 왕국, 그리고 매가 지배하는 하늘의 왕국 등 3 왕국이 있었습니다. 그 때까지 인간은 너무나고 왜소하고 약해서 이들 동물들과 맞설 수가 없었습니다. 하지만 인간은 이들 동물들이 갖고 있지 않은 storytelling의 재능이 있었지요. 육체적인 조건은 3 왕국의 지배자들에 비해 뒤떨어지지만 재치와 꾀로 3왕국의 동물들을 차례로 물리치는 재미있는 이야기가 아프리카 전통문양을 이용한 Ashley Bryan 화려한 그림과 함께 펼쳐집니다.

From the Publisher
Long ago, when the earth had not settled in its turning and the stars had not found their places in the night sky, there were three kingdoms.
The first was the kingdom of the forest, ruled by the mighty Elephant. The second was the kingdom of the sea, ruled by the ferocious Shark. And the third was the kingdom of the air, ruled by the powerful Hawk.
And then there were the People, who needed the forest and sea and air for survival. But they were small and weak--no match for the beast who dominated the kingdoms. Yet the People had a gift--the gift of storytelling.
With powerful prose and bold illustrations, Walter Dean Myers and Ashley Bryan tell how the People used their gift to outwit the rulers of the three kingdoms, making this triumphant story one worth reading again and again.
Publishers Weekly
Myers (Brown Angels) and Bryan (Sing to the Sun) make a dynamite team. Here, the hot colors, sweeping lines and stylized figures that characterize Bryan's art form a bold backdrop for the author's equally dramatic original fable. Long ago, Myers writes, the world was divided into three kingdoms: earth, ruled by Elephant; sea, ruled by Shark; and air, ruled by Hawk. The three quarrel mightily as to who is greatest, and they laugh at the People, who, they say, exist only to do their bidding. With time, the People outwit the haughty trio by learning from the stories they tell around the fire at night. The tale of a child catching a butterfly at rest, for instance, sparks a plan to capture Hawk in the baobab tree. In the end, the People realize they have the greatest power of all: "the gift of story and the wisdom it brings." Using repetition and a stately cadence, Myers invests his prose with a timeless air; together, he and Bryan provide for a memorable read-aloud experience.
Children's Literature
The power of a shared story, intelligence and cooperation are the messages conveyed in Myers' original fable. He begins by telling how the earth was divided into three kingdoms that were ruled by Elephant, Shark, and Hawk. They each claim to be the most powerful beast, but when people appear on earth, their combined efforts to use what they learned in storytelling help them overcome their fear of the beasts and the resulting oppression. Bright, bold, primitive art are a perfect match for the text in this unusual-sized picture book. |
