內容簡介:
小蓝和小黄是一对好朋友,一起游戏,一起上课。
一天,小蓝趁妈妈出门的时候,溜出去找小黄。从家里找到外面,找了许久,才在一个角落里找到了小黄。小蓝和小黄惊喜地拥抱在一起,越抱越紧,结果融合在一起变成了“绿”。“绿”去了公园,钻隧道,爬山,后来累了,就回家了。
可回到小蓝家,小蓝的爸爸妈妈认不出来了:“哎呀,这个‘绿’不是我们家的小蓝呀。”回到小黄家,小黄的爸爸妈妈妈也认不出来了:“哎呀,这个‘绿’不是我们家的小黄呀。”
“绿”很伤心,流下了蓝色和黄色的眼泪,哭呀哭呀,最后全都变成了蓝色和黄色的眼泪,蓝眼泪集拢到一起变成了小蓝,黄眼泪集拢到一起变成了小黄,两个人高兴了:“这回爸爸妈妈不会认不出来了!”
小蓝和小黄先回到小蓝的家,小蓝的爸爸妈妈高兴地拥抱小蓝,又拥抱了小黄,结果变成了绿色。直到这时,爸爸妈妈才总算明白是怎么一回事了。于是,他们一起去小黄家报告这个好消息,两家的父母高兴地拥抱在一起,也变成了“绿”。而小黄和小蓝,则在外面和好朋友一直玩到吃晚饭。
Leo Lionni’s first picture book has at last found its perfect
format in this sturdy board book for the very youngest child.
Little Blue and Little Yellow are best friends, but one day they
can’t find each other. When they finally do, they give each other
such a big hug that they turn green! How they find their true
colors again concludes a wonderfully satisfying story told with
colorful pieces of torn paper and very few words. This classic tale
of friendship also offers a playful introduction to color
concepts.
代表作《一寸虫》《小黑鱼》《田鼠阿佛》《亚历山大和发条老鼠》分别于 1961年、1964年、1968年及1970年荣获美国凯迪克大奖。

Tribune, he died in 1999 at the age of 89.
