Noodleheads 시리즈가 코믹한 시리즈로 인기를 얻은 것뿐 아니라 드디어 수상작이 되는 영광을 갖게 됐네요.
Meatball이 Mac과 Mac이 나무 그네를 타고 왔다 갔다 하고 있는 모습을 보고 곧 그네에서 떨어져 멍이 들 거라고 한소리 했어요.
그런데!, 정말 그네에서 떨어졌어요. Mac과 Mac은 Meatball이 미래를 볼 수 있다고 확신했죠!
엄마가 케이크를 구워주기를 바라는 소년에게 무엇을 하면 되는지를 알려줄 수 있게 된 거죠.
Best-selling author-illustrator TEDD ARNOLD has teamed up with two professional storytellers to create a second comic-style book about the gullible Noodlehead Brothers, Mac and Mac.
When Meatball sees Mac and Mac sitting on a tree branch and sawing it, he predicts they will fall and bruise their bottoms. And they do! Mac and Mac conclude that Meatball can see the future! What the boys really want in their future is for Mom to bake them a cake. But they don't want to oblige her request to dig holes for her garden. Thanks to Meatball's trickery, the boys unknowingly dig dozens of holes. Mom gets her garden and the boys get their cake. Puns based on "lend a hand," "listen up" and "a piece of cake" as well as slapstick and other visual humor tell a wacky story that is based upon traditional folktale motifs. Back matter traces the folk origins of various incidents in the story.
