【粉紅豬國王：臭臉羊國馴馴記】《King Pig》
 

相信大家都還記得澳洲繪本作家Nick Bland與他的Very Cranky Bear系列，他的作品總是妙趣橫生，這次要向各位介紹另一位逗趣角色——粉紅豬大王——King Pig。他（不知為何）統治著一個羊咩咩王國，羊咩咩們都被豬大王當成奴隸使喚，承擔著各種苦役工作。例如背上背著木板當國王的步道，或是利用軟澎澎羊毛的特性，整隻羊被當作刷洗城牆的海綿刷！更惡劣的是，豬大王竟然在冷颼颼的冬夜，叫醒睡眼惺忪的羊群，只為了他半夜哪來的時裝秀點子，將羊咩咩染成各種色、刮羊毛，又令裁縫羊徹夜趕工……

原來粉紅豬大王內心期待可以獲得羊子民的尊敬與愛戴，但卻總是越弄越糟，羊咩咩雖然溫馴不會抵抗，但每一隻都臭著臉不喜歡他。到底他該怎麼做，能扭轉他們之間的關係呢？

必買原因
◎每隻羊咩咩都好有戲，光看圖就覺得故事好精彩
◎當領導者不容易，且看粉紅豬如何改變他的影響力

What's a king to do?
King Pig is grand ruler of the sheep. He can make them do whatever he wants (clean his castle), whenever he wants (the middle of the night). But for some reason, he can't seem to make them like him.

Until he has a brilliant idea! King Pig marches all the sheep into his castle and sets them to work dyeing, cutting and knitting their wool into a pile of fancy new clothes. He prances out in his spectacular, intricate, rainbow-bright fashions expecting applause and adulation, but . . . NOTHING! The sheep are so preoccupied with themselves (could it be that they're naked and cold without their wool?) that they don't even notice him! What's a king to do?

When King Pig finally thinks of a way to make amends, it may not be perfect — but it's a pretty good start.

Nick Bland's playful, wonderfully humorous illustrations will leave kids and parents grinning, even as they share an important lesson about treating others the way they would like to be treated.
