[ 책 소개 ]
빌리는 모든 일에 관심이 없습니다. 빌리의 아빠는 빌리를 즐겁게 해주려고 키가 큰 기린과 몸집이 작은 나비를 보여주고, 가장 튜부관이 꼬불꼬불한 프럼페을 불어주지만 빌리의 반응은 언제나 "Whatever"입니다. 통통 뛰면서 놀 수 있는 성 모양의 장남감도 사주고, 이 세상에서 가장 연기를 많이 내뿜는 기차도 태워주고, 심지어는 우주선에 태워서 우주 밖으로 날아가 보기도 하지만 역시 빌리의 응답은 whatever입니다. 하지만 이세상에서 가장 배고픈 호랑이 앞에서도 whatever라고 말하다가 그만 호랑이에게 통째로 먹히는 신세가 되고....

From the Publisher
"A gleefully wicked book for bedtime or any time."
Special gift size edition Billy can be very difficult to please. Show him something very tall or very small, and he’ll say, "Whatever." Take him for a ride on the smokiest train or the speediest spaceship -- it doesn’t matter; Billy’s reaction is always the same. What might the surly boy say if he were eaten by a hungry tiger and his dad gave him a taste of his own medicine? William Bee’s wry illustrations give an amusing new spin to a familiar scenario that will have both children and adults laughing in recognition. This new mini edition is a perfect gift.
Publishers Weekly
This visually enticing story introduces a boy "who can be very difficult to please." Billy-drawn as a square-headed block of a boy-and his father, whose raised eyebrows and tipped hat suggest a larger, more animated version of his son, a master of the pre-adolescent rejoinder, "whatever." The boy's apathy doesn't deter his father, however, who is bent on getting a reaction from his son. He shows Billy "something very tall"; readers must tilt the book for a vertical view of a collage giraffe, with photographic elements of a ruler incorporated into its impressive neck. The animal holds Dad's hat in his teeth and, on the next spread, replaces it on Billy's head. Upping the ante, the man plays Billy a tune on "the world's curliest trumpet," and flies him into outer space, always to the same response: "Whatever." Finally Dad introduces Billy to "the world's hungriest tiger," who eats him. This at last prompts words from the boy, but now it's Dad's turn to utter the refrain. Bee illustrates this cautionary tale with highly stylized visuals that are baroque in their intricacy. Heavy black lines contain swirls, floral patterns and letters, contrasting with the characters' stolid shapes. The eye-pleasing results go a long way toward injecting some fun into the book. Ultimately, however, the story comes off as more mean than spirited. Parents may grin at the ending, but young readers may have trouble finding the humor.
Children's Literature
"Billy can be very difficult to please." His dad tries hard for any reaction at all, but Billy's reply is just " . . . whatever." The spare text on the double pages leaves room for depicting the "something very tall . . . " or "very small," for the world's curliest trumpet," or for bouncing Billy off "the world's bounciest castle or riding the world's smokiest train. Billy's response is always the same " . . . whatever." Finally, his dad tries to frighten him with "the world's hungriest tiger . . . " The result is rather a shock. But it does finally bring a different reply from Billy. And a rather amusing " . . . whatever" from his dad. Digitally created simplified figures on white pages with no context, not even a ground line, match the minimal text. But the visuals deliver the humor in the facial expressions and props. That "curliest trumpet" is a wonderfully intricate piece of yellow and tan plumbing with valves, meters, and a sinuous intertwining that fills the spread. The tall giraffe incorporates yardsticks in its long neck as it requires turning the book on its side for the vertical double page. Other detailed bits add to the visual fun.
Children's Literature
This English author/illustrator has created a book that puts one in mind of the works of William Steig and Maurice Sendak. Billy, the main character, is a boy who is "very difficult to please." His father tries extremely hard to impress his son with all sorts of things. These range from a very tall giraffe to a ride on a seriously smoky train to a trip in outer space. But to each, the sullen boy merely replies, "Whatever." Finally, Billy's dad introduces him to a really hungry tiger who, upon hearing his bored "Whatever," promptly swallows Billy in one big gulp. Now the boy appeals to his dad for help but, you guessed it, he gets only a terse reply..."Whatever." The highly stylized, cartoonish illustrations are boldly drawn with heavy black lines and vivid color. They are a good match for the story. This is certainly not a book to be given to every child, but is sure to appeal to those who enjoy Where the Wild Things Are.
School Library Journal
A cautionary tale with spare text and striking graphics. Billy "can be very difficult to please." Indifferent to his father's attempts to engage or impress him, the child responds to each try with an unenthusiastic "-whatever." Dad plays the "world's curliest trumpet," bounces Billy off the "bounciest castle," and even takes him on a trip to "the edge of outer space." Yet each effort fails to garner more than the same bored reaction. After the "world's hungriest tiger" fails to scare the impassive youngster, the animal swallows Billy whole. "Dad! I am still in here you know...." In a fitting turnabout comes Dad's reply, "-whatever." Bold, digitally created illustrations on stark white pages (except for outer space, which is on blue) engage the audience and mirror the humor in this slightly callous story that is reminiscent of Maurice Sendak's Pierre (HarperCollins, 1962). Children will enjoy the scrolls and curves of the "curliest trumpet" and the ridiculous image of Billy being bounced out of the "bounciest castle," and recognize that the large, orange tiger is a creature to be reckoned with, even if the unconcerned Billy does not. Children will take pleasure in the book and get a laugh as well.
Kirkus Reviews
A remake of Maurice Sendak's Pierre (1962), with a more trenchant ending. Though his dad tries hard to please him, taking him out to the zoo and butterfly garden, on a train ride and even into space, Billy responds to each overture with a shrug: "Whatever." But it's turnabout, at last, when Billy takes a slide into the belly of a huge tiger; his dad leaves him there, answering his muffled complaint with a shrug of his own. Bee tells the tale and illustrates with small figures suspended against blank backgrounds. Perfect for sharing with little ingrates, though the question begs to be asked: Why this and not the original when this is almost a carbon copy? |

 기발하고 엉뚱한 책 |
매사 무관심하고 시큰둥한 반응을 보이는 아들을 위해
아버지는 이런저런 것들로 관심을 끌어보려고 하지만 아들의 반응은 늘 똑같습니다.
무표정한 얼굴로 걍 'Whatever'라는 말로 댓구할 뿐이지요.
결국 사자..
매사 무관심하고 시큰둥한 반응을 보이는 아들을 위해
아버지는 이런저런 것들로 관심을 끌어보려고 하지만 아들의 반응은 늘 똑같습니다.
무표정한 얼굴로 걍 'Whatever'라는 말로 댓구할 뿐이지요.
결국 사자가 나타나 잡아먹어도 되냐고 묻자,
이번에도 아들은 아무 생각없이 똑같은 대답을 합니다.
결국 사자에게 한 입에 먹힌 아들은 그때서야 사자 뱃속에서 뭐라 소리를 지르지만...
이젠 그 사자를 끌고가는 아버지의 반응이 엽기적이네요.
한가지,
표지가 노란 예쁘색인데 그냥 보기엔 손때를 넘 타는 재질이라 그게 좀 아쉽네요.
(생각다못해 투명아스테이지로 표지를 덮어 씌웠더니 이제 좀 괜찮지만)
