* A Booklist Editors' Choice
저명한 일본계 작가인 Mitsumasa Anno의 독특하고 재미있는 Counting Book입니다.
잭은 요술사로부터 마술씨앗 2개를 얻었습니다. 1개만 먹어도 1년내내 배가 고프지 않고 1개를 땅에 심으면 일년 후 2개의 씨앗이 얻을 수 있는 마술씨앗이었습니다. 잭은 매년 1개의 씨앗을 먹고 1개를 땅에 심어 2개 열리면 다음 해에 또 1개를 먹고 1개를 땅에 심어 2개의 씨앗을 얻었습니다. 이렇게 6년동안 2개의 씨앗중 1개는 먹고 1개는 땅에 심는 일을 계속하던 잭은 7년째가 되던 해에 새로운 아이디어가 떠 올랐습니다. 씨앗을 먹지 않고 2개를 모두 땅에 심으면 1년 후에는 4개의 씨앗이 열리므로 1년간은 다른 것을 먹으면서 지내기로 했죠. 다음해 4개의 씨앗이 열리자 이중 1개를 먹고 3개를 땅에 심었습니다. 다음해에는 6개의 씨앗중 1개를 먹고 5개의 씨앗을 땅에 심어서 10개를 얻고, 그 다음해에는 1개를 먹고 9개를 땅에 심어서 18개의 씨앗을 얻고, 또 그 다음해에는 1개의 씨앗을 먹고 17개를 땅에 심고... 그러던 어느날 잭은 신부를 만나 결혼을 하게 되고, 예쁜 아기도 태어났으며, 남는 씨앗은 시장에 내다 팔기 시작했어요. 잭의 사업은 날로 번창해서 소도 사고 집도 크게 지었지요. 그러던 어느날 큰 태풍이 불어와서...

The real wizard is the renowned Japanese author and illustrator, who has found yet another way to introduce numbers and counting with wit and charm...Endlessly rewarding
Booklist
Jack meets a wizard who gives him two magic seeds and instructs him to eat one, which will sustain him for a full year, and to plant the other. The following spring, the plant bears two seeds. Jack eats one and plants the other, as he does for several years until he determines to plant both seeds. The next year he has two plants each bearing two seeds, so he eats one seed and plants the other three. Six seeds! As the years go by, he marries, raises a family, plants many crops, endures a flood, and saves enough seeds to feed his family and start planting again. Told in folktale style, this symbolic story charts the development of agriculture. Teachers could use the eating, planting, harvesting, marketing, and storing of precise numbers of seeds as a mathematics lesson (though expect some confusion around the eighth year), but underlying the plot is a celebration of life's goodness and of the fundamental magic of planting a seed and watching it grow. From the first simple pictures of Jack and his plant to the last double-page spread echoing Millet's painting The Angelus, Anno's pleasing watercolor artwork illuminates this thoughtfully designed picture book.
Publishers Weekly
Anno (Anno's Mysterious Multiplying Jug; Anno's Hat Tricks) offers another worthy addition to his collection of playful stories with mathematical themes. A brief prelude tells of a wizard who gives happy-go-lucky Jack two golden seeds and directs him to eat one and bury the other: "I promise you it will grow and give you 2 more magic seeds in the fall." Jack does as he is told, and the cycle repeats for a number of years, until Jack decides one fall to bury both seeds. As Jack buries more and more seeds each consecutive year, readers are challenged with a series of questions ("How many seeds grew that year?"; "How many seeds did they bury?"). The mathematical gymnastics become even more rigorous as Jack marries, has a child, begins to store some seeds and sell others... until a hurricane wipes out the crops and Jack must begin all over again. Kids on the older end of the targeted age span will have fun with this, and although the arithmetic is well beyond those on the younger end, they'll enjoy Anno's lilting, linear narrative-as well as his soft, appealingly primitive watercolors.
School Library Journal
A happy-go-lucky young man and some magic seeds are the familiar elements of this deceptively simple tale. Anno provides the enchantment. An old man gives Jack two golden seeds and a simple formula for becoming self-sufficient. He faithfully follows the directions, eating one of the seeds, which amazingly takes care of his hunger for the year, and planting the other the following spring, which produces two new seeds. He enjoys several years of easy subsistence until he decides to fend for himself one winter and plant both seeds. The next and each successive season begin a geometric progression of harvests-2 sprouts produce 4 seeds (one of which he eats), 3 plants produce 6 seeds, 5 yield 10, etc. In no time at all, he has a bountiful surplus and shares his wealth first with Alice, who becomes his wife, and eventually their son. Even when a hurricane devastates their crops and storehouse, 10 seeds are saved and the family begins anew. Anno illustrates the multilayered story (and its mathematical operations) with his trademark spare, clear watercolors using metallic gold circles to represent the stored seeds and red ones for those that are consumed. Pictorially and conceptually, he explores the fundamental magic of planting and harvesting crops in this celebration of life and its many riches. |
