Night Sounds よるのおと

男の子が池のほとりを歩いています。もうすぐおじいさんの家につくところです。もうすっかり日がくれて、空には月が輝いています。リリリ、リリリ。虫が鳴いています。遠くからは列車の汽笛。池に浮かぶハスの葉にはカエルがいます。シカの親子も水を飲みにきているようです。ほんの数十秒のあいだにおこる小さなドラマの数々。そこにひろがるゆたかな世界。ページをめくることが一つの体験だということが感じられる絵本です。

A boy is walking by a pond on the way to his grandfather's house. The sun has already set and the moon in shining in the sky. "Chirp, Chirp" sing the insects. Trains whistle from afar. There are frogs on the leaves of the lotus floating on the pond. A family of deer come to drink water from the pond. A number of small dramas that take place in just a few seconds. A rich world is unfurled. This is a picture book that makes you feel that turning each page is an experience.
