神奇的上學冒險（英國水石童書繪本大獎得主蕾貝卡．寇柏作品）A Wild Walk to School

 
★ 英國水石童書繪本大獎得主蕾貝卡．寇柏（Rebecca Cobb）最新作品
 
　　今天是上學日，我們最喜歡去學校的這段路，因為就像一場超棒的史詩級大冒險。媽媽希望我們可以準時到學校，但她沒有注意到，我們走的小山丘其實是沉睡的巨人肚子，腳踩的地面變成岩漿，我們走起來可就要很小心！啊糟糕，媽媽講話太大聲，把巨人吵醒了……還好有飛龍及時來救援，我們能順利及時趕到學校嗎？
 
　　讓孩子準時上學是個困難的挑戰，從忙碌的母親眼中看來，上學途中充滿了麻煩，但孩子卻不這麼想。這本繪本以有趣的想像力和童心視角，把上學途中的風景和阻礙，轉化成一個個刺激的冒險關卡。換個視角看視角，發揮想像力，每天早上的無聊上學日常，就這樣變成讓人難忘的瘋狂冒險，一起來讓日常變有趣吧！

　　The SchoolRun is a warm, witty and imaginative story from Waterstones prize-winner Rebecca Cobb that perfectly captures the epic adventure of getting to school on time.

　　It's time to walk to school and mum wants the children to get there on time. But what Mum doesn't realise is that the hill is in fact the tummy of a sleeping giant and it's important to tread carefully when the floor turns to lava! It's just as well Mum has these two Brave Explorers with her . . .

　　A charming, relatable and beautifully illustrated story that's full of fun: recognisable to children and their grown-ups everywhere!

　　Rebecca Cobb is a rising star in children's picture books. Since graduating from Falmouth College of Arts in 2004, she has illustrated for many clients including Guardian Guide, Guardian Weekend magazine, The Independent and Waitrose Food Illustrated. Rebecca has collaborated on two picture storybooks with the Orange-Prize winner Helen Dunmore, both set in her native Cornwall. In addition, Rebecca's stunning illustrations accompanied Julia's Donaldson's wonderfully lyrical story in The Paper Dolls and The Everywhere Bear. In 2011 Macmillan published Rebecca's debut solo project, the hugely accomplished Missing Mummy which approached the subject of child bereavement with great honesty, sensitivity and integrity. Lunchtime is Rebecca's second solo picture book, and although wholly different in subject matter from her first, features the same stunning illustration style and child-friendly voice. Aunt Amelia, Rebecca Cobb's third picture book, is every bit as warm, engaging and original as her existing books, and is sure to continue to establish her as a real 'one to watch'.
