[ 책 소개 ]

엄마가 어린 소년에게 6개의 계란, 차와 같이 먹는 과자, 배 1파운드를 사오라고 심부름을 시키면서, 특히 베이컨 사는 것은 절대로 잊어서는 안된다고 신신당부를 합니다.

"Six farm eggs, a cake for tea, a pound of pears, and don't forget the bacon."

소년은 엄마가 시킨 것을 잊지 않기 위해 큰 소리로 외우면서 길을 갑니다.

하지만 길에 서 있는 세명의 통통한 다리를 보고는 ""Six Farm Eggs"를 "Six Fat Legs"로 잘못 외우게 되고,
빨랫줄에 걸려있는 집게를 보고는 "Six Clothes Pegs"로 잘못 외우는 등 점점 헷갈리게 됩니다..

"A Cake for Tea"는 "A Cape for Me"를 거쳐 "A Rake for Leaves"로 헷갈리고...

결국 소년은 엉뚱한 것들을 사게 되지만, 집으로 돌아가다가 점점 엄마가 시킨 것을 생각해 내고는 제대로 암마가 시킨 것들을 사가게 됩니다. 하지만 가장 중요한 것을 잊어버리고 마네요...

비슷한 발음의 문장들이 반복적으로 나오기 때문에 어린 독자들이 그 차이를 깨닫고는 매우 있어 하는 책입니다.

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.

페이퍼백입니다.

Book Description
As he sets out for the store, the boy's mother reminds him, Six farm eggs, a cake for tea, a pound of pears, and don't forget the bacon.
On his way, he repeats, Six fat legs...a cape for me...a flight of stairs...and don't forget the bacon. Or was it six clothes pegs...a rake for leaves...a pile of chairs...and don't forget the bacon?

Well, at least he was sure to remember the bacon!

[ 작가 소개 ]

"I tend to see the funny side of things," says Pat Hutchins. Whether it's the light, subtle humor of her first picture book, Rosie's Walk, or the slapstick comedy of Rats!, her special gift of humor is reflected in both words and pictures.
Pat Hutchins was born in Yorkshire, England, one of seven children, and grew up in the countryside of Yorkshire, which she still loves. At a very early age she knew that she wanted to be an artist.

She was encouraged by an elderly couple, who would give her a chocolate bar for each picture she drew. A local art school gave her a scholarship and she studied there for three years, continuing her training at Leeds College of Art, where she specialized in illustration. Her career in the children's book field began with the highly acclaimed Rosie's Walk, a 1968 ALA Notable Book. Since then she has written five novels and created more than twenty picture books. She was awarded England's prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 1974 for The Wind Blew.

She says she tries "to write about what children say and do," and she believes in very simple picture books for the youngest child. But her simple texts and wonderfully vivid pictures manage to convey the most complex emotions. She also has the rare ability to use such basic concepts as time, growth, and change to create imaginative, satisfying books for children. Her ideas come from a variety of sources: listening to her children and their friends, or sometimes from real situations. The idea for The Very Worst Monster came to her when her niece told her she wanted to give her baby brother away. Ms. Hutchins tempered the theme of sibling rivalry by using soft watercolors to make the monster family more lovable. The result is a delightfully wicked monster family that children will wish lived next door.

Pat Hutchins lives in London with her husband, Laurence, also an artist. They have two sons, Morgan and Sam.
