[ 책 소개 ]
* Laura Ingalls Wilder Award 수상작
에릭 칼의 최신 작 Mister Seahorse는 새끼들을 돌보는 아빠 물고기의 습성을 에릭 칼 특유의 콜라쥬 그림으로 보여주는 책입니다.
아빠 해마는 자기 배에 있는 주머니에 알을 품고서 바닷 속을 돌아 다니면서 자신처럼 새끼를 돌보는 물고기들을 만납니다. 둥지를 지어놓고 알을 보호하는 Stickleback(큰가시고기), 머리 위에 자신의 알을 지고 다니는 Kurtus(커터스), 알들을 입 속에서 기르는 Tilapia, 배 밑에 낳아 놓은 알을 돌보는 Pipe... 그 외에도 아빠 해마는 갈대더미 사이에 숨은 Trumpet fish, 산호초 뒤에 숨은 Lionfish, 해초 가운데 있는 Leaf fish, 돌 뒤에 숨은 Stonefish를 만납니다.
점점 배가 불러오는 아빠해마가 마지막으로 만난 물고기는 방금 부화된 아기 물고기를 돌보는 아빠 물고기 Bullhead였습니다. 그리고 마침내, 아기 해마들이 부화한 아빠 해마는 주머니에서 나와 헤엄쳐 나가는 아기 해마들 속에 한 마리가 다시 아빠 품속으로 돌아오자, 사랑스러운 눈빛으로 처다 보던 아빠 해마가 속삭였습니다. “Oh, no! I do love you, but now you are ready to be on your own.”
이 책은 바다 속 아빠 물고기들의 자식을 사랑하고 돌보는, 잔잔하면서 감동스러운 스토리입니다. 작가 특유의 콜라쥬 기법 그림과 더불어 해초, 산호초 뒤에 숨은 바다 물고기들이 보일 듯 말듯하게 구성된 투명한 책장이 아주 독특합니다.
큰 사이즈의 튼튼한 하드커버입니다.

Book Description
When Mrs. Seahorse lays her eggs, she does it on Mr. Seahorse's belly! She knows he will take good care of them. While he swims waiting for the eggs to hatch, he meets some other underwater fathers caring for their babies: Mr. Tilapia, who carries his babies in his mouth; Mr. Kurtus, who keeps his on his head; and Mr. Catfish, who is babysitting his young hatchlings.
Eric Carle has done it again, with astonishingly beautiful collage illustrations and a story that introduces the very young to the wonders of aquatic life...and some very special daddies. A "hide and seek" feature with acetate overlays adds a colorful surprise.
The Washington Post
In Mister Seahorse...a salty salute to devoted dads, beloved collage artist Eric Carle draws a warm-hearted story from the ocean's depths...The beguiling cast of creatures includes some animals that Mr. Seahorse doesn't see: They are carefully camouflaged under clear overlay pages printed with vibrant seascapes. This interactive element is a delightful addition to the book.—Jessica Bruder
Publishers Weekly
In this original, entirely engaging book, Carle adds to his rich cache of endearing animal characters while delivering some intriguing information about several underwater species. Father fish come to the forefront here-and deservedly so. When Mrs. Seahorse announces that it is time for her to lay her eggs, Mr. Seahorse affably asks, "Can I help?" She then lays her eggs into a pouch in the belly of her mate, who earnestly announces, "I'll take good care of our eggs.... I promise." Then, drifting through the sea, the expectant pater meets up with other fish who are also carrying-or protecting-eggs, such as Mr. Tilapia, who carries eggs in his mouth, and Mr. Kurtus, who has stuck his mate's eggs on top of his head. Chipper Mr. Seahorse gives each words of encouragement ("Keep up the good work"; "You must be very happy"; "You are doing a fine job"). Between each of Mr. Seahorse's encounters, he unknowingly swims by other sea creatures, cleverly camouflaged behind curtains of seaweed, a coral reef and a rock. Yet readers spy all of these hidden critters when they lift acetate pages, adding a delightful dimension to this first-rate fish tale, capped by a winsome, child-confidence-building finale. In his elegant painted tissue-paper collages, Carle innovatively balances pastel hues with shocks of brilliant color, creating an appealing seascape that succeeds swimmingly. Ages 4-up.
Children's Literature
When Mrs. Seahorse lays her eggs, Mr. Seahorse takes them into a pouch on his belly and promises to care for them. In the ocean he passes other fish and meets other fathers caring for their young: a stickleback, a lion fish, a tilapia, a bullhead, etc. When it is time for his babies to be born, Mr. Seahorse sends them off to be on their own. This tribute to caring fathers includes facts on the fish that do this, but it is particularly distinguished by Carle's personally traditional use of self-painted tissue paper collage, stunning cut paper shapes on white backgrounds. True to each fish's anatomy, they also add to the esthetic impact of the representation. A few pages have clever overlays of transparent plastic acetate which create screens of seaweed or reef to show how some fish are concealed in nature. The perky dads with names may not be realistic, but the general information provided in a charming way is factual. 2004, Philomel Books/Penguin Young Readers Group, Ages 3 to 8. - Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz
School Library Journal
Carle once again successfully introduces his young fans to an interesting aspect of the natural world. Using oceanic hues, he creates a menagerie of fascinating underwater creatures with his trademark painted tissue-paper collage illustrations. After Mrs. Seahorse carefully lays her eggs in the pouch on his belly, Mr. Seahorse gently drifts through the water, promising to take good care of their young while they incubate. As he floats along, he politely greets other fish fathers similarly caring for their offspring and praises their efforts, telling them, "Keep up the good work" and "You should feel proud of yourself." Interspersed between these encounters are scenes where he unknowingly swims past fish that are camouflaged (e.g., trumpet fish hide in some reeds and a lionfish lurks behind a coral reef), and their presence is revealed when readers turn the overlaying acetate pages. Although these episodes do not contribute to the main theme of the story, they introduce a greater variety of sea life and are sure to be a hit with children. Finally, Mr. Seahorse's task is complete and the babies are ready to be born and swim away on their own. Repeated phrases and a balanced structure make this offering a good choice for reading aloud. Although the prolific Carle has produced stronger stories, this one is sure to appeal to a wide audience.
Kirkus Reviews
The striking single seahorse gracing the cover of this tribute to aquatic fatherhood could never be mistaken as anything other than one of Carle's consummately creative collage creatures. The graphically arresting cover leads to rows of baby seahorses swimming across the endpapers and then on to a wonderful variety of jewel-toned fish set against white backgrounds with just the suggestion of pale blue and green waves in bold strokes of watercolor. The star of this underwater show, Mr. Seahorse, swims through his underwater home as he carries the eggs that Mrs. Seahorse has laid. He greets other fathers that are carrying eggs or caring for their young, complementing each fish on his fine work. The father fish alternate with other kinds of fish that Mr. Seahorse doesn't see because they are hiding behind camouflage elements such as seaweed and coral, which are overprinted on clear acrylic pages. These camouflage pages illustrate how different kinds of fish can hide themselves, but as each of these special pages is turned to cover Mr. Seahorse, the reader sees how he can hide himself as well. The simple, thoughtfully told story includes repetitive phrases and a predictable structure with an emotionally satisfying ending as Mr. Seahorse sends his babies out into the watery world.
