"Grade 2-5 In an odd wordless picture book about a dream, a fair-haired boy falls asleep while reading an ominous looking atlas. As he floats through sky and slumber, the boy's green checked bedspread is transformed into an aerial view of the earth. He then descends upon an enormous chess board complete with mortal playing pieces. This medieval welcoming party leads the youngster to their mazed castle where he continues his search (although this is not always clear) for an elusive map. The nameless protagonist's ensuing adventures are confusing, complicated, and illogical. Transformations abound in this surrealistic universe. Floating leaves change into swans, fortress walls become dragons, building fronts turn into mountains. The influence of such literary classics as Gulliver's Travels, The Wizard of Oz, and The Water-Babies, along with the artistry of Raphael, Escher, and Sendak, is apparent. Soft shades of green, blue, and yellow dominate the action. Technical virtuosity is the trademark of the double-page watercolor spreads. Especially notable is the solidity of forms and architectural details. While many of the illustrations are stunning, if somewhat slick, they work better as individual pieces than as a whole. This book lacks the sequence and logic required by young children, and it will have limited appeal among older children."

I borrowed this book from the library and fell in love with it instantly and have since bought it. My 16 month old does not as yet show a special interest in this book but I think it will come into its own when she's a little older. The pictures are bright and there are references to famous paintings in them. But there are oddities on nearly every page (like the dog walking a man) which are a great source of inspiration for talking to my bub and explaining what's out of place and when she's a little older I think will be a source of amusement for her to spot what looks a little odd. Very clever book!! Browne's books are among our favourites. Both my daughter (3) and I love Magic Mirror; it's a book that has stayed with me from my own childhood, which is why I looked for it, and my daughter has asked for repeat readings of it virtually every day since it arrived. The images are intriguing, the text is short and simple, and I love the references to Rene Magritte. Browne's books are among our favourites.

這本真的一個字也沒有喔。不像那本《七號夢工廠》,裏麵有不少文字說明夢工廠的雲類型。這本呢,大概屬於作者較早期的作品。一個夢境,一段奇妙的人生旅程。

我感覺印刷質量很不好 就像拿原版書翻印的。大傢彆買這個版本瞭。封麵的立體印章是翻拍影印的 拍不齣來用眼睛直視時那種一言難盡的效果。裏麵印刷也是不夠清晰。就是用不夠清晰的版印刷的 質量和盜版沒什麼區彆……還有之前買過一本 ox-cart man 也是這種印刷質量 背麵圖案版都錯瞭。提醒大傢注意
