City Under the City

內容簡介

內容簡介 沒有螢幕的地下之城重啟閱讀、思考新生活 Bix和爸媽住在一個凡事都有「大眼睛」效勞的城市，大眼睛會幫他們擠牙膏、洗刷刷。Bix不喜歡這這樣，他喜歡自己來。這個城市的人們，也很特別，不一起玩遊戲，不互動，不讀書，只盯著小小的螢幕看。Bix有時覺得這樣好無聊，愛親自動手操作的他，意外發現另一世界：被荒廢的城下城。在地下之城，Bix和老鼠成為朋友，老鼠帶他去圖書館。Bix 愛上這個知識寶庫，愛上沒有大眼睛監看的地方。但，Bix想念爸媽，於是他回到原來的城市，幫助爸媽，擺脫眼睛，帶領他們如何思考、生活，開啟新生活。From acclaimed author-illustrator Dan Yaccarino comes an exhilarating adventure—set in a richly imagined alternate future—celebrating autonomy, community, and the power of reading, perfect for fans of The Rock From the Sky.Bix lives with her family in a city where people rarely talk or play together, and no longer read books. Instead, they stare at small portable screens, monitored by giant eyeballs. The Eyes are here to help! With everything. But Bix would like to do things for herself. Running from an Eye, she discovers another world: the City Under the City. There, she befriends a rat who leads her to a library and its treasure trove of books and knowledge. As she explores the abandoned city, she’s thrilled to learn about the people who lived there, with no Eyes. But she misses her family, and decides to head home, where, just maybe, she can help defeat the intrusive Eyes—and show her people how to think for themselves and enjoy each other’s company. Told through Dan Yaccarino’s stunning graphic style, this page-turning picture book early reader crossover will spark a new appreciation of reading, books, independence, friendship, and family."
