Can Somebody Please Scratch My Back?

紐約時報暢銷作者Jory John與超人氣插畫家Liz Climo聯手出擊！

一隻背上超癢的大象四處向其他動物尋求幫助，

但當痛苦最終獲得解脫後，感激之情就是無關緊要的事了……

 

大象背上好癢，有沒有誰可以來幫幫忙呀？

鱷魚先生非常樂意幫忙，但牠尖銳的牙齒和咧嘴大笑的模樣，嚇到了大象。

蝸牛先生也想來試一試，但牠只是在大象背上塗滿了黏糊糊的黏液而已。

 

搔癢的感覺越來越不舒服了，大象好沮喪，

難道就沒有人可以幫幫忙嗎？

一隻好心的小刺蝟自告奮勇幫忙，沒想到最後，粗魯的大象卻……

 

Jory John的幽默，加上Liz Climo畫筆下看似無辜的動物搭配，創造出一個充滿諷刺性的有趣故事，
大象困境，讓許多孩童也能哈哈一笑，感同身受。(文/博客來編譯)

 

 

　　A hilarious take on helping others and self awareness from New York Times bestselling author Jory John and comic artist sensation Liz Climo

 

　　Persnickety Elephant has an itch--a big one--and he can't reach it! While he isn't above asking for a little help, no one is up to the task. Turtle is too lazy, Snail is too slimy, and Alligator... well, Elephant isn't sure he wants his assistance. Does Elephant have to do everything himself? 

 

　　Jory John's signature deadpan humor pairs perfectly with Liz Climo's oh-so-innocent-looking animals to create a slyly ironic read-aloud that will leave kids and parents in stitches.
