This hilarious story, by a popular Belgian illustrator, is about a long, long beard and its short-sighted royal owner.

內容簡介

當一位自負、輕率的國王終於迎來報應該怪誰呢?當然是他自己!

喜愛Tomi Ungerer的頑皮幽默和Jon Agee狡猾道德故事的讀者,將會非常喜歡這本關於一條長長的鬍鬚和它那短視的國王主人,且由一位受歡迎的比利時插畫家、設計師和動畫高手創作的幽默朗讀書。

這條豐盈、金黃的皇家鬍鬚是是個神奇的東西——尤其對國王自己而言。他整天沉迷於欣賞和修剪它,並通過法律宣布任何其他人的臉上若有一根鬍鬚,就會被判死刑!

隨著國王的臣民每日緊張地剃鬍,皇家鬍鬚卻越長越長,直到它出現在宮殿的後門。接下來會發生什麼讓讀者捧腹大笑的事情呢?


Who's to blame when a vain, heedless king meets his comeuppance? He is, of course! Fans of Tomi Ungerer's mischievous humor and Jon Agee's sly morality tales will be delighted by this hilarious read-aloud about a long, long beard and its short-sighted royal owner, by a popular Belgian illustrator, designer, and animation whiz.

The lush, golden royal beard is a wondrous thing - especially to the king himself. He spends his days admiring and grooming it, and passes laws making it a crime punishable by death for anyone else's face to sport even a single hair. As the people of the kingdom nervously shave daily, the royal beard grows and grows until it appears at the palace's back gate. What happens next will have readers laughing along -- and cheering for the astronomers who, unlike the tyrannical king, know that the earth is round.

各界推薦

"What once might have been 'long ago' seems eerily not so long ago at all." — The New York Times

"A new children's classic...will warrant entry into your forever library....playful, weird, funny, absurd, and wil make elementary-aged children laugh out loud....one of those picture books that kids will laugh at and adults won't mind reading over and over." —Daddy Mojo

“A fairy tale for our unusual times. Verplancke hopes the book will help children (and their respective parents) understand the danger of absolute power, narcissism, selfishness and ignorance of science and knowledge." — Steven Heller, The Daily Heller/PRINT

“A fun way to introduce readers to concepts such as self-indulgence and abuse of power….An enjoyable read, a worthy addition to any library, and a useful tool for teaching humility and respect.” —School Library Journal

"The illustrations are extremely clever and the text flows around the sides and bottom of the pages, even appearing upside down in some places, to convey the concept of circumnavigation…..Just plain fun. Recommended." — School Library Connections

"Rapunzel has nothing on the vainglorious king from this sly cautionary [picture book] .... “The law may be the law, but some laws are bad for your health,” a new king remarks with distinct schadenfreude. Readers fond of Jon Klassen’s karmic tales will agree.” —Booklist

“Deeply satisfying.” —Kirkus Reviews

"A witty story, exquisitely drawn! — Award-winning artist, author, graphic designer Christoph Niemann

"A clever, biting fable.” —Publishers Weekly
