[ 책 소개 ]
뉴욕타임즈 처ㅣ우수 그림책으로 선정된 The Hueys in The New Jumper에 이은 Hueys 시리즈 두번째 책입니다.
믿고 볼 수 있는, 현존하는 최고의 작가중 한 명인 올리버 제퍼스의 그림책입니다.
동그란 콩알같이 생긴 휴이들은 모두 똑같이 생겼어요. 그리고 항상 함께 다니지요. 하지만 모양이 똑같이 생겼다고 해서 생각까지 같은 것은 아니지요. 휴이들은 사소한 일에도 항상 의견이 갈리고 말다툼을 합니다. 때로는 왜 다투는지도 모르고 말싸움을 하다가, 이번에는 누가 이 말다툼을 시작했는지에 대해 말다툼을 하네요.
휴이 중의 한 명인 길레스피는 말다툼하는 휴이들로부터 멀찍이 떨어져서 이들을 바라보다가 참지 못하고 큰 소리로 외칩니다. "잠깐만 멈춰봐. 도대체 무엇때문에 싸우는거니?" 길레스피가 외치는 소리를 듣고서 휴이들은 자신들을 돌아보게 됩니다. 이들은 무의미한 싸움을 멈추게 될까요? 길레스피는 그 방법을 알고 있지요...

Book Description
Meet the Hueys - a fabulously quirky group of characters from international bestselling, award-winning author/illustrator, Oliver Jeffers, creator of How to Catch a Star and Lost and Found.
A fight has broken out amongst The Hueys. “It was not me! It was him!” But no one can remember what they’re fighting about. If only they could find an interesting distraction…
Publishers Weekly
Jeffers’s first book about the Hueys quietly extolled the virtues of nonconformity; with equal subtlety (and a touch of dark humor) he explores disagreement in this sequel. “The thing about the Hueys,” Jeffers writes of his egg-shaped, stick-legged crew, “was that most of the time they got along.” But when they fight-Jeffers depicts their argument as a joint speech bubble filled with scribbles, scrawls, storm cloud, hammer, and skull-and-crossbones-it’s up to a Huey named Gillespie to set things right. What’s his trick? Distraction. “Want to see a dead fly?” he asks, and everyone does, naturally. A stylish and sophisticated story that reminds readers that some fights aren’t worth having.
Kirkus Reviews
The Hueys are back, and this time they're testy. Jeffers opens his latest story about a cast of stick-limbed, jelly-bean-shaped, multicolored characters with the line: "The thing about the Hueys… / …was that most of the time they got along." With this setup, the art on the next page then illustrates a time when they don't. Jeffers eschews background detail and places the Hueys on empty white or monochromatic pages with just scribbled indications of ground and shadow as they stand about talking. The fearlessly spare setting enables the Hueys' simple forms to stand out; speech balloons visually describe their mounting anger. (These are filled first with whimsical flying creatures and objects, then with expressive abstract scribbling to indicate anger and finally with hand-lettered script.) Finally, when a Huey named Gillespie happens upon the scene and asks, "What are you fighting for?" the conflict escalates as one after another denies blame, which gives rise to the book's title. Gillespie, a peacemaker to his Huey core, persists and asks, "WHAT ARE you Fighting ABOUT?" This stumps his peers, and a page drained of all color captures the chagrined silence of this shift in the story. Not one to gloat or rub his cohorts' faces in their pettiness, Gillespie quickly distracts his pals with an enticing invitation: "want to SEE a DEAD Fly?" And who wouldn't? Want to SEE a GOOD Book? Read this one.
Booklist
"Jeffers is a master of this sort of wry humor, with his deeply expressive gestures; generous, empty backgrounds; and quirky charm. The explosion of the argument-and stillness of the solution-resonates on just the right frequency, distilling complex emotion into something manageable and entertaining. Kids will recognize themselves here, over and over again."
School Library Journal
"Children will undoubtedly enjoy the simple, but expressive, caricatures and the childlike pencil and mixed-media compositions. Parents may get new ideas for conflict management under Gillespie's cool tutelage. A worthy sequel." |
