In his first book since Time Flies, his Caldecott Honor debut, Eric Rohmann transports a young boy in a magical sailboat to a lush tropical island inhabited by six cats with eyes like blazing coals. Rohmann's magnificent oil paintings draw the eye seamlessly from page to page, adding layers of complexity to a deceptively simple storyline. His palette reaches effortlessly from the brilliance of a tropical day to the glow of a starlit night, while his scenes range from breathtaking ocean vistas to the meticulously detailed and expressive creatures. The Cinder-Eyed Cats is both a sumptuous feast for the eye and a virtuoso feat of picture storytelling.
本书围绕一个小男孩的热带梦幻世界之旅展开。作者用壮丽的油画和押韵的文字,为我们展现了一个神秘的岛屿,在那里,灰眼猫如影子般移动,小船漂浮在海洋上空,鲸在黎明的天空中翱翔,鱼儿在篝火边跳舞。
