Will I ever be the waddle of a snail? Will I ever be the tumble of a honeybee?

Instead, he makes himself a snug home in the ceiling of the New York Museum of Natural History, where he reads anything he get his hands on and explores the artifacts afterhours. But when a rare Egyptian ruby--the highlight of the museum's new exhibit--goes missing, John is accused of the crime. That is until the unpredictabl

本書由《A Sick Day for Amos McGee》作者 Philip C. Stead 與繪者 Matthew Cordell 再度合作，描寫一位古怪又充滿熱情的Aunt Josephine，向姪女講述她追尋巨蛙的奇幻經歷。故事從秘魯叢林展開，穿越海洋與城市，節奏明快又荒誕可愛。Cordell 以流暢筆觸與水彩展現誇張場景，畫面充滿細節與幽默；Stead 則讓敘事在喧鬧與沉靜之間往返，展現講故事的樂趣與親情的溫度。這是一則關於想像、冒險與傾聽的繪本，適合親子共讀，也讓人重新體會「講故事」這件事的魔力。When a curiously croaking stranger comes knocking at the door, Aunt Josephine launches into a rambling tale about her lifelong pursuit of a rare giant frog. Eccentric Aunt Josephine poignantly ignores a stranger knocking at her door as she tells her niece Sadie the story of her time in the jungles of Peru, cataloguing amphibians for the scientific team of Admiral Rodriguez. When the admiral's son was suddenly swallowed by a giant frog, Aunt Josephine gave chase in a journey which took her around the world. In the tradition of Philip Stead and Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell's previous collaborations Special Delivery and The Only Fish in the Sea, this is a story full of rambunctious fun and sensationally appealing artwork.

光是懂得食物的成分與烹飪的科學，對於「滋味」，你只懂了一半！普立茲獎、國際專業烹飪協會大獎得主　約翰‧麥奎德力作李家維／葉怡蘭／莊祖宜／陳淑華　推薦＊＊＊＊＊備受尊崇的食品科學家哈洛德‧麥克吉（Harold McGee）與一群知名廚師曾鄭重宣告：「吃這件事除了會用到各種感官，也與我們的心智有關。」與我們的其他感官相當不同，「對味道的感受」不僅因人而異，且差異可能極大。它涉及我們全身、大腦、心理等許多層面，神祕莫測，因此在過去兩千年來，這領域一直處於科學研究的邊緣。直到近年隨著新型科技與科學理解的進展，才終於躍居科研的前沿，使「烹飪」成一門講究的技藝，從而揭露諸多奧祕：○「聯覺人」的大腦裡，一種感官會觸發另一種看似毫不相關的感官，比如文字的字義或發音會觸發味覺。大腦也可能會混淆不同味道和氣味。○光是「想像」苦味或看到嫌惡皺眉的表情，大腦就會體驗到「苦」的反應，影響你嘗出的滋味，所以生活經驗會持續影響嘗東西的偏好。○為何代糖吃起來，就是比不上真正的糖？○為什麼「甜點是另一個胃」，此話不假？○發酵作用如何解放出「新味道分子大軍」，帶動一連串廚藝實驗？○辣的刺激其實是種不適感，人類為何偏偏喜愛？○鮮味是怎麼藉由與其他味道協力合作，讓食物的美味跳出來？○澱粉加重鹽，洋芋片這種垃圾食物貌不驚人，為何卻令人一口接一口？○細胞上的「受體」可以察覺環境中的特殊物質，比方帶苦味的分子。人類細胞每個都有受體，這意味著我們「全身具有味覺」？○我們的大腦相當消耗能量，為了攝食效率，人類祖先發展出更佳狩獵能力與烹飪技術，並學會用火，製作更美味、好吸收的食物。○代糖的分子能與甜味受體產生鍵結，但無法完全結合，就像一支鑰匙能插入鎖中，但無法轉到底開鎖一樣，因而無法完全觸發大腦的愉悅線路。○在幾個大腦結構中，反應「愉悅」與「痛覺」的神經細胞都很接近，或許這是某些人覺得越辣越過癮的原因。品嘗是人體最為獨特的感官能力，有太多有趣的事值得探掘！國際專業烹飪協會大獎得主約翰‧麥奎德深入廚房、超市、農場、餐廳，以及大型食品公司與科學實驗室，揭露最新的飲食研究結果，並援引神經學、人類學、生物學、遺傳學、演化論等眾多領域的知識，廣泛地闡述了味覺如何塑造智人的發展，以及我們如何逐漸理解這種最神祕感官的運作方式。（更詳盡介紹可參閱目錄引文）

用啤酒來照料傷口？用葡萄酒驅蟲？用威士忌治療毒蛇咬傷？酒還可以治療瘧疾、鼠疫和壞血病？作為現代人重要的消遣娛樂、品味表徵、投資收藏、解悶澆愁不可或缺的各種酒類，在古老時代，竟是與生命、健康、靈性攸關的藥品！自古以來，酒與醫學緊密連結，其中一方的創新，往往產生連動效應，刺激另一方的發展。在遠古時代，啤酒、葡萄酒是用來提供體弱者所需的營養、水分，並用作植物溶劑以方便製藥；到了中世紀，為了追求長生不老，鍊金術士運用不斷改良的蒸餾法，企圖製造出第五元素、生命之水；修道院的修士意外開發出多種神祕風味的植物利口酒，行腳醫生使用具有令人陶醉的飲料……諸多因素刺激了現代我們熟悉的飲料。而科學的進步，發酵、細菌、蒸餾等技術也運用在藥物製作上，古典雞尾酒、琴通寧、琴蕾，或其他雞尾酒，也都是作為治療使用，卻又如何從必需有醫生處方箋才能購買、服用，到現在餐廳、酒館，甚至超商都可輕易取得的飲料（只要年滿十八歲）？雞尾酒、烈酒專家坎帛．英格里胥在本書中爬梳酒與藥物的歷史，也解答了為什麼我們家中酒櫃與藥櫃架上所放之物竟然有驚人的相似度！如果碰到有人詢問，為什麼喝酒？或許我們就可以理直氣壯的回答：為了健康，乾一杯！推薦人哈洛德．馬基（Harold McGee），《食物與廚藝》作者艾米．史都華（Amy Stewart），《邪惡植物博覽會》、《醉人植物博覽會》作者艾爾頓．布朗（Alton Brown），《好吃》（Good Eats）節目創辦人亞當．羅傑斯（Adam Rogers），《酒的科學》、《全光譜》作者Allen（Drizzle by Fourplay 創辦人）侯力元（酒類散文作家）唐墨（疑案辦網站主編）陳上智（台灣女子愛思葡萄酒大賞創辦人）黃琮閔（M8喝酒老實說）好評推薦：這是一趟有趣且豐富的主題之旅，就像在閱讀社會歷史時，配有一盤美味的下酒小菜。英格里胥加入過去流行病治療方式，讓這本書多了對人類天性的洞見。──《紐約時報書評》（The New York Times Book Review）英格里胥對這個嚴肅的主題相當熟悉，卻也知道如何從中自得其樂。當他討論了苦艾酒成癮者所患的疾病──包括「癲癇發作、癡呆、眩暈、幻覺、暴力和癲癇症」之後，就提供了一款名為「午後之死」的苦艾酒和香檳酒。他也帶讀者探究修士的各種蒸餾酒以及開胃酒和消化酒的歷史價值。對於好奇的飲酒者，或者只是在雞尾酒會上尋找一點娛樂的

《A Snow Day for Amos McGee》延續《A Sick Day for Amos McGee》與《Amos McGee Misses the Bus》的溫柔筆調，再次描繪守護友情的動物園管理員 Amos 與他的動物朋友們。當預報的雪遲遲未到，他只好靜靜等待；隔日清晨，雪終於覆蓋整座小鎮，朋友們便決定前來共度雪日。Philip 與 Erin Stead 以柔和線條與淡雅色彩，描繪出冬日的寧靜與友誼的溫度。故事節奏緩慢而溫馨，讓人感受到陪伴與期待的美好。Caldecott Medal-winning and NYT bestselling duo Philip and Erin Stead, creators of A Sick Day for Amos McGee and Amos McGee Misses the Bus, are back with another heartwarming tale featuring Amos McGee and his menagerie of friends.
