牆是保護還是阻隔?
放下成見,越過高牆,
也許所有恐懼都只存在於想像
放下成見,越過高牆,
也許所有恐懼都只存在於想像
從前從前,書頁的中間有一道牆,牆的這頭有個小騎士,看著高高的牆,他心裡好安心。「還好有這座牆!」牆的那頭不只有兇狠的怪獸,還有超級可怕的大巨人,要是沒有這座牆,鐵定會被吃掉的啊。牆的另一頭有犀牛、老虎、猩猩,一隻疊著一隻,試圖爬上高牆。小騎士說,牆的這頭很安全,牆的那頭很危險,但小騎士的身後,危險正步步逼近,水越淹越高,水中的怪獸張著大嘴,就在千鈞一髮之際,有雙大手抓住了小騎士……小騎士的命運將何去何從?

In this timeless tale battling notions of prejudice and preconception, a little knight is glad the wall in the middle of the book keeps him safe from the ogre on the other side - until a big flood on his side means he needs the ogre to rescue him! Suddenly he discovers a wonderful new world.
Making fun use of the middle of the book, classic picture book creator Jon Agee is brilliant in his use of the page turn, visual storytelling, and deadpan humour, and appeals to fans of Oliver Jeffers and Jon Klassen.
