书籍简介

金先生是一只喜欢新事物的猫。事实上，是“大量的新事物。只要他的东西有一点点旧了，他就把它扔到附近的池塘里，然后用一个新的东西来代替它。”值得高兴的是，这在一段时间内效果很好。但是有一天，当金先生试图在这个池塘里钓鱼时，他被吓坏了，因为他认为这是一个巨大的怪物。但事实证明，这根本不是什么怪物。这是被他丢弃的东西自己纠缠在了一起，它们回来吓唬他了！Geneviève Côté通过这本生动有趣的图画书对污染和过度消费的原因和影响做了很好的介绍。就跟许多伟大的想法一样，当从孩子的角度来解释时，这里所介绍的环境知识就容易理解了。这个故事舍去了说教的态度，以温和、幽默的方式叙述，插图简洁，大部分的视觉重点集中在金先生和他的一系列强烈情绪上。在书的结尾，金先生找到了重新回收利用所有东西的方法，这可以激发各种课堂讨论，比如孩子们应该如何为其他人或其他用途回收他们的东西，以及如何在一般情况下不浪费东西。也可以作为一个项目的跳板，将孩子们的现有物品变成他们自己的艺术作品。

Mr. King is a cat who likes new things. In fact, "LOTS of new things. As soon as one of his things becomes the tiniest bit old, he tosses it into the nearby pond and replaces it with a new one." Happily, this works just fine for a while. But then one day while attempting to fish in this same pond, Mr. King is terrified when he pulls up what he believes is a gigantic monster. Only it turns out it's not a monster at all. It's a tangle of his own discarded things, come back to scare him! Geneviève Côté has created a terrific introduction to the causes and effects of pollution and overconsumption with this lively and funny picture book. As with so many big ideas, the environmental message here is quite simple and easy to understand when explained at a child's-eye view. The story is gentle, humorous and not at all preachy, and the artwork is clean and open, with most of the visual focus on Mr. King and his range of intense emotions. The ways Mr. King finds to repurpose all of his resurrected things at the end of the book could inspire all kinds of classroom discussions about what efforts children might make to recycle their things for other people or other uses, as well as how not to waste things in general. It could also work as a jumping-off point for a project turning children's found objects into their own works of art.
