★ 賴嘉綾的繪本報一報


A beautifully designed book, celebrating the power of the imagination to transform even the most ordinary of objects into something magical.

A stick is just a stick… unless it's not a stick. From fishing rod to dragon-taming sword a small pig shows that a stick will go as far as the imagination allows.

Antoinette Portis captures the thrill of when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes reality. Her simple, spare text and illustrations show that seeing truly depends on the ability to believe in the possibilities.


一本設計精美的書，頌揚想像力，將最普通的物體變成神奇的物體。

棍棒只是一根棍子......除非它不是棍子。從釣魚竿到龍馴劍，一隻小豬表明，一根棍子會達到想像所允許的程度。

Antoinette Portis捕捉到了當假裝感覺如此真實以至於它真正成為現實時的快感。 她的簡單，簡易文字和插圖的呈現，說明了視覺真正取決於相信可能性的能力。
