Pets and Their Famous Humans

內容簡介

內容簡介 寵物與名人 你知道莫札特的八哥鳥，是鋼琴第17號協奏曲的靈感來源？作家Dorothy Parker太愛動物了，所以她讓兩隻鱷魚在她的浴缸游泳？寵物和人之間，有著如人類般的情感，既像是朋友又像是家人。畫家芙烈達思念她的鹿，為牠創作The Wounded Deer。科學家愛因斯坦看他的鸚傷心難過，便鵡講話給鸚鵡聽，想像不到吧！ 作者Katherine Quinn收錄寵物和名人各種有趣的或是感動的故事，從養寵物的角度重新認識名人私底下的一面，也體會寵物不只是動物，更是生活樂趣或創作來源。 In this charmingly illustrated collection of pet-related stories children will find out about some of history's most important scientists, artists, writers, and musicians and their beloved animals. Did you know that Mozart's pet starling was the inspiration for his Piano Concerto No. 17? Or that writer Dorothy Parker loved animals so much she let a pair of alligators swim in her bathtub? These are just a couple of the stories in this delightful and surprising collection that profiles the strong bond between humans and their pets. Some of these stories are touching: Frida Kahlo memorialized her pet deer Granizo in her painting The Wounded Deer. Some are a little quirky: Albert Einstein, convinced that his parrot, Bibo, was sad, told bad jokes to cheer the bird up. Each of these wonderfully entertaining stories is made even more appealing by Katherine Quinn's captivating illustrations. Rich in detail and reminiscent of folk art, they capture the humor and poignancy of these fascinating pairings. Together these stories and illustrations will create lasting impressions that will help young readers identify historic figures and spark joy in friendships with the animals in their own lives.
