The Happy Day BSW020

US$17.95

Farmer Bailey thinks he has hit a deer while driving his truck, but in the middle of the road lies a man, an enigmatic stranger. He goes home with Farmer Bailey, his memory apparently gone. Weeks pass at the Bailey farm; the stranger seems happy to be around them, and helps with the harvest. Oddly, while trees to the north of the farm turn red and gold with the arrival of fall, Bailey's land seems to be in a state of perpetual summer. One day, the stranger sees geese flying south and knows that he, too, must leave. Not long after that, the leaves at the farm change color and the air turns cool. And every year since, summer lasts a week longer at the Bailey farm than anywhere else. Van Allsburg's story is strangely melancholy, and his straightforward writing is uncannily dry, in contrast to the vivid green and golden landscapes of his paintings. The mood and suspense in this book make it a compelling chance to see the artist take a slight incident and create a truly mysterious event. Ages 4-8.

茫茫的下雪天,大地一片靜寂。田鼠躲在地洞裡睡覺,熊躲在山裡睡覺,蝸牛躲在樹洞裡睡覺,松鼠、土撥鼠,也全部都在窩裡睡覺……有一天,牠們紛紛張開眼睛,探出頭來聞了聞,騷動起來。究竟發生什麼事呢?
