#72 Excuse me! > 선배들의 책장

어제.. 유난히 일도 많고 바빴던 하루를 보내고..

낮잠까지 안 주무시는 딸내미 덕에 늦게 글 올립니다.

자~~ 두번째 책~ Excuse Me! 들어갑니다.

이 책은 많이 알지 못하시는 책일거예요.

좀 지저분학 저러운 느낌?? 도 있지만 아이들에게 매너 가르치는데 좋은 책 같아요.

재미도 있구요. ㅎㅎ

먼저 이 책의 작가에 대해.. 알아보자구요.

Lisa Kopelke라는 분.. 어떤분일런지.. 궁금하네요.

Lisa Kopelke was born in the sixties to parents who were “borderline” hippies.They lived in the suburbs of San Diego, California, in a typical house, butthe collection of eclectic friends & neighbors made for a very atypicalupbringing. Both her parents were artists and her father spent mostof his time in his shack/studio doing hippie art stuff, while her motherexpressed her own talents by cooking gourmet meals & sewing clothes.This was probably what set Lisa’s palette for good food and quirky art atan early age.

Agenda: BURPING
(gassamous-expellerous-grossamus)

Frog loved to burp. He’d been burping since his early tadpole days.Why? Because it made him happy. It was what he called “enthusiastic burping…notonly feels good, but makes room for dessert!” Not everyone shared his enthusiasmfor burping and he was exiled. Frog found a town full of gaseous frogs thatmade no apologies for burping, never said excuse me and even burped whilethey slept. He soon understood how he had offended his old friendsand that it was time to go home. Would they accept him?

Be prepared for gobs of glorious gaseous gluttonies in this goofy comedyof bad manners.

"Schnorrrkle!"

Frog and his friends can't stop sniffling. What's worse, they wipe their noses on their arms. Frog's runny nose is making it hard to concentrate in dance class, and it's disgusting his teacher, Miss Tutu. What Frog and his friends need are tissues!

Frog discovers nirvana when he finally uses a tissue to blow his nose. But what will happen when Frog is caught in the middle of his dance recital with a runny nose -- and no tissue? Lisa Kopelke's humorous text and exuberant art enliven this comedy of manners.
