这是英国著名儿童文学作家朱莉亚-唐纳森写给自己女儿的书。在英国,曾经有数千个孩子读过之后一起制作了非常长的手拉手纸娃娃,打破了世界记录。这到底是怎样一本书呢?
书中的小女孩有一双虎头拖鞋,还有小金鱼和霸王龙玩具。最重要的是,她有一个非常好的,会教她剪纸娃娃的妈妈。于是有了五个手拉手的纸娃娃。
纸娃娃们遇见了大老虎,他们不怕;
纸娃娃们遇见了大鳄鱼(妈妈的防烫手套),他们不怕;
纸娃娃们遇到了霸王龙,他们也不怕。
他们高高兴兴,手拉手,高高兴兴地战胜了所有的困难,但是这时,出现了一个很坏很坏的小男孩,他用剪刀把纸娃娃们剪碎了……
“We are not gone, oh, no, no,no.”纸娃娃的碎片重新聚集在一起,他们飞向了哪里呢?——那是一片温暖美丽的森林:那里有慈祥的奶奶,有蝴蝶发卡,有海星香皂,原来这片森林就是小女孩温馨的记忆。
