内容简介

Poor baby, no one calls her by her real name! “I am not a buttercup, or a giggly goose. I am not a cupcake. Please don’t call me Little Lamb, and never ever Gum Drop,” she insists. With a curtsy and a twirl, again and again our protagonist makes it abundantly clear who she is. She wears a shiny crown, a fancy dress, sparkly shoes, a velvet cape, and glittery jewels.

There are more clues too–she dances with princes, has perfect manners, and makes sure that everyone in her kingdom is happy. Her persistence pays off in the end, and even the youngest readers will be cheering,

作者简介

From painting and sculpture to quiltmaking and costume design, Karen Katz has been making art in one form or another all her life. But it was not until she and her husband adopted a baby from Guatemala that she considered a career in children's books. Published in 1997, her debut picture book, Over the Moon, told the story of one adoptive family's happy beginnings in a country far away. Since then, Katz has gone on to create many award-winning picture, board, and novelty books that capture the joys of childhood in simple storylines, vibrant colors, and winsome illustrations. Some include count-down elements (Counting Kisses, Ten Tiny Tickles) or interactive features (Where Is Baby's Belly Button?, Peek-A-Baby); still others introduce holiday traditions (My First Kwanzaa, My First Chinese New Year) or reinforce good habits, manners, or behavior (Excuse Me!, No Biting!, I Can Share).

Perhaps the secret to Katz's success (besides the undeniable appeal of her signature round-headed babies!) can be summed up in this quote taken directly from the author/artist's website: "When an idea for a story pops into my head, I ask these questions: Will a child want to read this book? Will parents want to read this book with their children? Will this book make a child laugh? Will this book make a parent and child feel something? Is there something visual here that will hold a child's interest? Will a child see something in a different way after reading this book? If the answer to any of those questions is 'yes,' then I know I'm on the right track."

精彩书评

"The curly-haired and clearly much-adored young heroine is sick and tired of people calling her "Cupcake," "Giggly Goose," "Missy Muffin" and other such sobriquets. After all, her "real name"-and the book's title-should be obvious from her shiny crown (it glitters on the book jacket), or her wand, or her innate sense of noblesse oblige ("I have perfect manners... and make sure that everyone in my kingdom is happy"). Katz's (Counting Kisses) characters are the very definition of pert. They have big round heads and tiny cute eyes, and they frolic on pastel backgrounds of polka dots, clouds and flowers; even the human beings looks like plush toys. Toddler girls just discovering the joys of dress-up should find this as enticing as a glittery petticoat, although the same idea received more astute treatment this past fall in Karma Wilson and Christa Unzner's Princess Me."

"'Why doesn't anyone ever call me by my REAL name?' asks the little girl. She is not Cupcake or Little Lamb or Buttercup. It is always "time for breakfast, Giggly Goose," she complains. "But I am not a buttercup or a giggly goose. I am not a cupcake." She politely requests to be called by her real name. "You'll know me by my shiny crown, my fancy dress and, of course, my royal wand. I am PRINCESS BABY!" The book will be a bit too pink, sparkly, and girly for parents who are hoping to avoid the whole princess thing, and the girl really is a bit obnoxious--but little kids will eat it right up. The painted and drawn illustrations are cute and funny. Really, I feel like a bit of a crank for complaining; it is a sweet book."

好的，以下是一份不包含《Princess Baby [平装] [1岁及以上]》内容的图书简介，字数约1500字，力求详尽且自然： --- 《星尘编年史：失落文明的低语》 作者：伊莱亚斯·凡恩 译者：林晓月 出版社：寰宇星图文化 一、 远古的呼唤：揭开宇宙的序幕 在浩瀚无垠的宇宙深处，时间的概念如同尘埃般轻盈易逝。然而，总有那么一些文明，它们的光芒即使在恒星熄灭之后，依然在历史的褶皱中留下不可磨灭的印记。《星尘编年史：失落文明的低语》并非一部传统的历史著作，它是一份跨越数个星系、历经数百万年光阴的考古学报告与哲学思辨的宏大交响。 本书的开篇，我们将跟随主角——杰出的星际考古学家阿丽亚娜·维克多博士，深入探索被时间遗忘的“塞壬星云”。塞壬星云，一个因其奇特的时空扭曲现象而被星际航行者避开的禁区，却恰恰是“前驱者”文明的最后安息之地。前驱者，一个在人类文明诞生之前就已掌握星际跃迁技术的古老种族，他们的突然消失一直是宇宙间最大的谜团。 阿丽亚娜博士的团队，凭借着从一颗漂流的彗星残骸中截获的微弱信号，成功定位了被数层暗物质屏障包裹的塞壬核心——一个被称为“寂静之城”的巨型遗迹。这座城市并非由砖石或合金构成，而是以一种未知的、能够吸收光线的晶体材料搭建而成，散发着一种令人不安的宁静。 本书的叙事节奏在严谨的科学考证与令人窒息的悬疑氛围之间找到了完美的平衡。早期章节着重于对前驱者遗留的文字系统进行破译工作。这些文字并非线性排列，而是以多维几何结构呈现，蕴含着极其复杂的数学和哲学概念。凡恩博士通过精妙的类比和大胆的假设，逐步揭示了前驱者对“存在”与“虚无”的独特理解，为读者构建了一个关于高级文明思维模式的初步框架。我们首次了解到，前驱者并非单纯地追求科技进步，而是将“意识的纯化”视为其存在的终极目标。 二、 维度之锚与时空悖论 随着挖掘工作的深入，阿丽亚娜的团队发现了一系列令人震惊的装置——“维度之锚”。这些装置错综复杂地分布在寂静之城的各个关键节点，它们似乎是用来稳定局部时空，防止整个星云被黑洞引力撕扯。然而，最新的发现表明，这些锚点的功能远不止于此。 在第三部“时间之茧”中，本书引入了一个核心的科幻概念：时间并非单向流动，而是可以被“折叠”和“存档”。通过分析一处被完美保存在时间场中的前驱者图书馆，研究人员发现，前驱者早在其文明的鼎盛时期，就已经预见到了某种无法避免的灾难。他们没有选择抵抗，而是选择了一种极为超然的方式来应对——“意识上传”和“时间封存”。 这里的描述极其细腻，凡恩博士巧妙地引用了量子纠缠理论和弦理论的推测，来解释前驱者如何将整个种族的集体意识压缩成一个单一的、可以被存储的信息流。读者将被带入一场关于“如果生命可以被备份，那么死亡的意义何在？”的深刻讨论。 然而，这种宏伟的“时间封存计划”并非没有代价。随后的章节揭示了在封存过程中出现的“数据腐化”迹象。一些被保存的意识片段开始显现出异常的、带有强烈情感色彩的残留物——恐惧、愤怒，甚至是一种近乎偏执的“渴望回归”的低语。这些低语，正是本书标题“失落文明的低语”的来源。 三、 破碎的镜像：文明的阴影面 《星尘编年史》的伟大之处在于，它拒绝将任何一个文明描绘成完美的乌托邦。前驱者的失落并非仅仅源于外部威胁，书中通过对“阴影档案馆”的解读，揭示了其文明内部的巨大裂痕。 这个档案馆记录了前驱者社会中一个被称为“虚空派”的边缘哲学流派。虚空派认为，对纯净意识的追求是违背自然规律的傲慢行为，他们主张文明的价值在于其“不完美性”和“体验的完整性”，包括痛苦与混乱。当主流文明决定进入“时间封存”时，虚空派选择了抵制，并采取了极端的破坏行动。 阿丽亚娜博士的团队发现，在寂静之城的深层结构中，存在着由虚空派成员亲手设置的“反向装置”。这些装置的目的不是摧毁城市，而是要故意干扰时间封存的完整性，让被保存的意识在回归时，携带上“混乱的病毒”。 本书在此进入了高潮部分，紧张感骤然上升。当阿丽亚娜试图激活主控台，试图读取前驱者的“回归指令”时，她发现指令已经被篡改。一个古老而强大的、被虚空派意识碎片感染的实体开始通过遗迹的能量网络向外渗透。这个实体拥有前驱者的全部知识，却被人类无法理解的原始冲动所驱动。 四、 哲学回响与未完的旅程 最后几章，叙事从纯粹的考古探险转向了一场精神上的交锋。阿丽亚娜必须利用她在破译前驱者思维过程中学到的知识，与这个半实体化的“混乱意识”进行对话。 凡恩博士在这里展现了其深厚的哲学功底。他描绘的对话不是激烈的战斗，而是思想与反思想的碰撞。混乱意识指责现存的、基于碳基的生命形式是“低效的模拟品”，并试图用前驱者的“纯粹逻辑”来重塑阿丽亚娜的感知。 最终，阿丽亚娜没有选择摧毁这个实体，而是选择了一种更加“前驱者式”的解决方案——“共存隔离”。她利用维度之锚残余的能量，在寂静之城内部建立了一个动态平衡场，将混乱意识重新封存，但这一次，是以一种开放和学习的状态进行隔离。 《星尘编年史：失落文明的低语》的结尾是开放式的。它没有提供一个简单的答案，而是留下了一个深刻的疑问：我们从其他文明的兴衰中学到了什么？我们是否也在走向一条相似的，对“完美”的极端追求的死胡同？ 本书是献给所有对宇宙、时间、意识以及文明的本质抱有好奇心的读者的史诗级作品。它不仅是一场视觉和智力上的盛宴，更是一次对人类自身在宇宙中地位的深刻反思。读者合上书页时，耳边仿佛还能听到来自遥远星系中，那些古老而智慧的低语，指引着我们探索未知的边界。 ---
