The Indian in the Cupboard

The Indian in the Cupboard
内容简介:

What could be better than a magic cupboard that turns small toys into living creatures? Omri s big brother has no birthday present for him, so he gives Omri an old medicine cabinet he s found. Although their mother supplies a key, the cabinet still doesn t seem like much of a present. But when an exhausted Omri dumps a plastic toy Indian into the cabinet just before falling asleep, the magic begins. Turn the key once and the toy comes alive; turn it a second time and it s an action figure again.

The Indian in the Cupboard is one of those rare books that is equally appealing to children and adults. The story of Omri and the Indian, Little Bear, is replete with subtle reminders of the responsibilities that accompany friendship and love. For kids, it s a great yarn; for most parents, it s also a reminder that Omri s wrenching decision to send his toy back to its own world is not so different from the recognition of their children s emerging independence.

    就原著来说,我觉得重心是放在“成长”,而不是历史反思。Omri手忙脚乱应付印第安小人需求的同时,也慢慢意识到每个人都有自己的灵魂,不该以“玩物”的心态去对待(好友Patrick就是反面例子),而最后的告别便是这一切的意义。

    纸质本读到33页,我生平第一次意识到童书可以是严肃的,严谨的,不粉饰的。没有必要不对孩子说真话。ps.看到第十章Breakfast Truce
