When a new boy wants to join in their play, will these two friends find room for three? Find out in children’s book author Linda Sarah’s Big Friends, illustrated by Benji Davies
Birt and Etho are best friends. Together they play outside in big cardboard boxes. Sometimes they’re kings, soldiers, astronauts. Sometimes they’re pirates sailing wild seas and skies. But always, always they’re Big friends. Then one day a new boy arrives, and he wants to join them. Can two become three?
伯特和伊索是最好的朋友。他们一起在外面的大纸箱里玩。有时他们是国王，士兵，宇航员。有时他们是在狂野的海洋和天空中航行的海盗。但他们永远都是大朋友。然后有一天一个新来的男孩来了，他想加入他们。二能变成三吗?
For those few blighted souls out there who are unaware of this fact, cardboard boxes are a kid’s answer to pretty much everything.
Birt and Etho are a couple of mites with a couple of nice-sized boxes that can launch friendships—and lots of other ships: pirate, flagships, and submarines. Each day they drag the boxes up Sudden Hill and become kings, astronauts, naturalists watching the world go by, ant by ant. Sarah is not goopy with the language, though its pleasing atmosphere can get somewhat filigreed: “Birt loves their two-by-two rhythm.” As will happen, “one Monday morning (it’s cramping cold) they meet another box-carrier.” Etho is ready for a comrade, Birt not so. Indeed, Birt retreats home one night and jumps on his box until it’s flat as an album cover. Birt ignores Shu and Etho’s entreaties to come and play, until…they arrive with a box contraption built for three. It’s a crazy Rube Goldberg device, clattering, careening, crashing: it’s Mr. ClimbFierce or sometimes a Monster-Creature-Box Thing. Of course it is. Birt “loves their three-by-three rhythm. / It’s new. And it’s good.” Davies’ alluring rustic-looking artwork with just the right slants of light salve this story considerably.
Excellent, believable advice, with boxes—what could be better than that? (Picture book. 4-8)
或者那些没有意识到这个事实的人，纸箱是孩子们对几乎所有事情的答案。Birt和Etho是一对小螨虫，它们有两个大小不错的盒子，可以启动友谊和许多其他船只:海盗、旗舰船和潜艇。每天，他们把箱子拖上突坡，成为国王、宇航员、自然学家，看着世界一个蚂蚁一个蚂蚁地走过。萨拉并不笨于语言，尽管它令人愉快的气氛可能会变得有些精致:伯特喜欢他们的2乘2的节奏。一个星期一的早晨(寒冷刺骨)，他们遇到了另一个搬运行李的人。伊索准备好当同志了，伯特却不是。事实上，有一天晚上，伯特回到家里，跳到他的箱子上，直到它像专辑封面一样平。伯特无视舒和伊索的恳求来玩，直到……他们带着一个可供三个人使用的盒子。这是一个疯狂的Rube Goldberg设备，发出咔嗒声，倾斜着，崩溃着:它是凶猛的攀爬先生，有时也是一个怪物-生物-盒子的东西。当然是。伯特喜欢三乘三的节奏。/它是新的。这很好。戴维斯吸引质朴的艺术作品与正确的光线倾斜缓解了这个故事相当大。极好的、可信的建议，还有什么能比这更好的呢?(图画书。4 – 8)
