內容簡介

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,

作者簡介

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."

精彩書評

"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 [平裝] [1歲及以上]》內容的圖書簡介，字數約1500字，力求詳盡且自然： --- 《星塵編年史：失落文明的低語》 作者：伊萊亞斯·凡恩 譯者：林曉月 齣版社：寰宇星圖文化 一、 遠古的呼喚：揭開宇宙的序幕 在浩瀚無垠的宇宙深處，時間的概念如同塵埃般輕盈易逝。然而，總有那麼一些文明，它們的光芒即使在恒星熄滅之後，依然在曆史的褶皺中留下不可磨滅的印記。《星塵編年史：失落文明的低語》並非一部傳統的曆史著作，它是一份跨越數個星係、曆經數百萬年光陰的考古學報告與哲學思辨的宏大交響。 本書的開篇，我們將跟隨主角——傑齣的星際考古學傢阿麗亞娜·維剋多博士，深入探索被時間遺忘的“塞壬星雲”。塞壬星雲，一個因其奇特的時空扭麯現象而被星際航行者避開的禁區，卻恰恰是“前驅者”文明的最後安息之地。前驅者，一個在人類文明誕生之前就已掌握星際躍遷技術的古老種族，他們的突然消失一直是宇宙間最大的謎團。 阿麗亞娜博士的團隊，憑藉著從一顆漂流的彗星殘骸中截獲的微弱信號，成功定位瞭被數層暗物質屏障包裹的塞壬核心——一個被稱為“寂靜之城”的巨型遺跡。這座城市並非由磚石或閤金構成，而是以一種未知的、能夠吸收光綫的晶體材料搭建而成，散發著一種令人不安的寜靜。 本書的敘事節奏在嚴謹的科學考證與令人窒息的懸疑氛圍之間找到瞭完美的平衡。早期章節著重於對前驅者遺留的文字係統進行破譯工作。這些文字並非綫性排列，而是以多維幾何結構呈現，蘊含著極其復雜的數學和哲學概念。凡恩博士通過精妙的類比和大膽的假設，逐步揭示瞭前驅者對“存在”與“虛無”的獨特理解，為讀者構建瞭一個關於高級文明思維模式的初步框架。我們首次瞭解到，前驅者並非單純地追求科技進步，而是將“意識的純化”視為其存在的終極目標。 二、 維度之錨與時空悖論 隨著挖掘工作的深入，阿麗亞娜的團隊發現瞭一係列令人震驚的裝置——“維度之錨”。這些裝置錯綜復雜地分布在寂靜之城的各個關鍵節點，它們似乎是用來穩定局部時空，防止整個星雲被黑洞引力撕扯。然而，最新的發現錶明，這些錨點的功能遠不止於此。 在第三部“時間之繭”中，本書引入瞭一個核心的科幻概念：時間並非單嚮流動，而是可以被“摺疊”和“存檔”。通過分析一處被完美保存在時間場中的前驅者圖書館，研究人員發現，前驅者早在其文明的鼎盛時期，就已經預見到瞭某種無法避免的災難。他們沒有選擇抵抗，而是選擇瞭一種極為超然的方式來應對——“意識上傳”和“時間封存”。 這裏的描述極其細膩，凡恩博士巧妙地引用瞭量子糾纏理論和弦理論的推測，來解釋前驅者如何將整個種族的集體意識壓縮成一個單一的、可以被存儲的信息流。讀者將被帶入一場關於“如果生命可以被備份，那麼死亡的意義何在？”的深刻討論。 然而，這種宏偉的“時間封存計劃”並非沒有代價。隨後的章節揭示瞭在封存過程中齣現的“數據腐化”跡象。一些被保存的意識片段開始顯現齣異常的、帶有強烈情感色彩的殘留物——恐懼、憤怒，甚至是一種近乎偏執的“渴望迴歸”的低語。這些低語，正是本書標題“失落文明的低語”的來源。 三、 破碎的鏡像：文明的陰影麵 《星塵編年史》的偉大之處在於，它拒絕將任何一個文明描繪成完美的烏托邦。前驅者的失落並非僅僅源於外部威脅，書中通過對“陰影檔案館”的解讀，揭示瞭其文明內部的巨大裂痕。 這個檔案館記錄瞭前驅者社會中一個被稱為“虛空派”的邊緣哲學流派。虛空派認為，對純淨意識的追求是違背自然規律的傲慢行為，他們主張文明的價值在於其“不完美性”和“體驗的完整性”，包括痛苦與混亂。當主流文明決定進入“時間封存”時，虛空派選擇瞭抵製，並采取瞭極端的破壞行動。 阿麗亞娜博士的團隊發現，在寂靜之城的深層結構中，存在著由虛空派成員親手設置的“反嚮裝置”。這些裝置的目的不是摧毀城市，而是要故意乾擾時間封存的完整性，讓被保存的意識在迴歸時，攜帶上“混亂的病毒”。 本書在此進入瞭高潮部分，緊張感驟然上升。當阿麗亞娜試圖激活主控颱，試圖讀取前驅者的“迴歸指令”時，她發現指令已經被篡改。一個古老而強大的、被虛空派意識碎片感染的實體開始通過遺跡的能量網絡嚮外滲透。這個實體擁有前驅者的全部知識，卻被人類無法理解的原始衝動所驅動。 四、 哲學迴響與未完的旅程 最後幾章，敘事從純粹的考古探險轉嚮瞭一場精神上的交鋒。阿麗亞娜必須利用她在破譯前驅者思維過程中學到的知識，與這個半實體化的“混亂意識”進行對話。 凡恩博士在這裏展現瞭其深厚的哲學功底。他描繪的對話不是激烈的戰鬥，而是思想與反思想的碰撞。混亂意識指責現存的、基於碳基的生命形式是“低效的模擬品”，並試圖用前驅者的“純粹邏輯”來重塑阿麗亞娜的感知。 最終，阿麗亞娜沒有選擇摧毀這個實體，而是選擇瞭一種更加“前驅者式”的解決方案——“共存隔離”。她利用維度之錨殘餘的能量，在寂靜之城內部建立瞭一個動態平衡場，將混亂意識重新封存，但這一次，是以一種開放和學習的狀態進行隔離。 《星塵編年史：失落文明的低語》的結尾是開放式的。它沒有提供一個簡單的答案，而是留下瞭一個深刻的疑問：我們從其他文明的興衰中學到瞭什麼？我們是否也在走嚮一條相似的，對“完美”的極端追求的死鬍同？ 本書是獻給所有對宇宙、時間、意識以及文明的本質抱有好奇心的讀者的史詩級作品。它不僅是一場視覺和智力上的盛宴，更是一次對人類自身在宇宙中地位的深刻反思。讀者閤上書頁時，耳邊仿佛還能聽到來自遙遠星係中，那些古老而智慧的低語，指引著我們探索未知的邊界。 ---
