  • 本書介紹
有一隻青鳥正在樹梢上築巢，但同時樹下的另一側卻有兩位古怪的男士，他們伐木、焚林、搬運，他們野心勃勃地想打造一座由上百個關著鮮豔鸚鵡的鳥籠所搭建的宮殿。當青鳥銜著枯枝來回奔波的巢逐漸成形，他們精心計畫的宮殿也即將完工...
這是一本完全沒有文字的繪本，透過畫面的安排，每一頁的串聯就像逐格動畫，看似沒有改變的整體卻有隱藏著變化與象徵。把動物關在籠子裡，彷彿是對美的歌頌、將珍品如畫裱框一般，然而這真的是正確的欣賞方式嗎?豢養、占為己有、剝奪自由是愛惜動物的方式嗎?
書名與封面的設計也別有暗示，被關進籠子裡的終究不會是人類妄想控制的他者，最後被囚禁的會是可悲的自身。

In this wordless picture book, a bluebird builds her nest and watches on from the safety of her tree as two eccentric gentlemen construct an enormous palace of caged birds. But when the gentlemen go in to admire their handiwork, the bluebird has an idea... While a bluebird builds her nest in the forest, two eccentric gentlemen have a more ambitious construction in mind: a vast palatial building, made from birdcages filled with colourful parrots. As the trees come down and the structure goes up, the bluebird watches on. More and more caged birds are consigned to their fate until at last a huge dome completes the work. But when the celebrating architects go in to admire their creation, the little bluebird brings their ambitions crashing down around them. A witty tale of freedom and retribution for readers of any age.
