The Bride Factory

一群馴鹿聚在一起，準備參加一場比賽，從起跑線一路衝向終點。故事一開始便邀請讀者一起加入賽道，看著這些選手各出奇招，為了搶先過線而使出令人意想不到的小手段，場面既熱鬧又帶點荒謬趣味。Édouard Manceau 以他標誌性的紙張拼貼與鮮明色彩，塑造出表情生動、個性鮮明的角色。畫面看似簡單，卻暗藏節奏與層次，讓孩子在翻頁之間自然感受到速度、競爭與變化。故事表面是比賽，實則透過輕鬆詼諧的方式，引導讀者思考「勝負」與「過程」之間的關係。本書曾獲 Foreword Reviews 評選為 2014 年最佳童書，並受到多家媒體好評。Get ready, get set, GO! A group of caribou gather together to run a race. Starting at the beginning of the course, readers join in the fun as the caribou engage in some rather outlandish tricks in order to be the first to cross the finish line. (Banana skins, for example, are an effective way to get rid of some opponents.) But in the midst of this titanic struggle for victory, some of the caribou stop to question the merits of their single-minded pursuit of winning at all costs. In the end, the reader is left to decide who the real winner is in this cautionary tale about the ups and downs of winning and losing.
