Late one winter night, a father and child go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is as silent as a dream. Whoo-whoo-whoo, they call to the mysterious nighttime bird. But there is no answer. Wordlessly the two companions walk along, for when you go owling, you don't need words. You don't need anything but hope. Sometimes there isn't an owl, but sometimes t...(展开全部)

这个故事是讲一个小女孩在一个寒冷的冬夜里跟着父亲去寻找猫头鹰的故事，小女孩跟着父亲的脚步在雪地里寻找着猫头鹰的踪迹，书中很细腻地描述小女孩的心情，以及人与猫头鹰之间的互动，真的很值得大人小孩细细品味喔！ 留白是说画面，空白是说页面。留白是绘画技巧，空白是设计手段。留白和空白，都是图画书常用的表现方式，它们为读者提供想象的空间，具有无中生有和无中胜有的效果。美国画家约翰?勋伯赫，把一个父女俩雪夜看猫头鹰的故事画出了一种中国水墨画的“墨韵”。你看，他用超出二分之一画面的留白，把森林里厚厚的积雪表现得多么形象啊！仿佛竖起耳朵，就能听到那个系着红围巾的少女踩踏雪地的“沙沙”声。这个故事译成中文有一个非常诗意的名字，叫《月下看猫头鹰》。

"As expansive as the broad sweep of the great owl's wings and as close and comforting as a small hand held on a wintry night . . . The visual images have a sense of depth and seem to invite readers into this special nighttime world."--School Library Journal, starred review. Full color. 1988 Caldecott Medal Book.

But Vladimir Nabokov's wise, ironic, elegant masterpiece owes its stature as one of the twentieth century's novels of record not to the controversy its material aroused but to its author's u...(展开全部)
