小威是個很有條理的男孩,生活中的一切都井然有序。想當然爾,他的寵物麋鹿一定也是很聽話的,最起碼在小威欣賞唱片時不可以發出噪音。不過,這頭麋鹿有個小問題:牠似乎不愛聽小威的指令,常常愛去哪兒就去哪兒。原來,小威並不是這頭麋鹿的唯一主人…
擁有主見固然是好事,但也不能總是希望別人依照自己的方法走。小威訂定了許多規矩要寵物遵守,卻遇上了不受拘束的野生麋鹿,推翻了他的各種原則。小威漸漸了解,想交朋友必須學著尊重、妥協,才能夠看見對方眼中的世界奧妙!【文∕博客來外文館】
WINNER of the Irish Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year 2012 and the Honour Award for Illustration from Childrens' Books Ireland, 2013.
An exquisite new book, featuring a boy and his moose, from internationally bestselling, multi-prize-winning picture book creator, Oliver Jeffers.
“Wilfred owned a moose. He hadn’t always owned a moose. The moose came to him a while ago and he knew, just KNEW, that it was meant to be his. He thought he would call him Marcel.”
Most of the time Marcel is very obedient, abiding by the many rules on How to Be a Good Pet. But one dark day, while deep in the woods, someone else claims the moose as their own…
Is Marcel really Wilfred’s pet after all?
An beautifully-illustrated, witty and thought-provoking story, exploring the concept of ownership.
