閉上眼睛一下下

by Jimmy Liao, 幾米

讀完這本書，讓人忍不住要閉上眼睛一下下，好好回想品味。但要談它，又得好好想一想，這實在不是可以簡單容易說明的作品。

單看畫面，滿溢著童趣繽紛的想像；單讀文字，帶著世故又寬容的慧黠；圖與文融合後，產生了獨特的律動感。

這是一趟音樂與色彩的旅程，畫面變化的想像力，與文字翻轉韻律感，撞擊出獨一無二的繪本享受。畫面像是有了音樂，文字生出了色彩，翻轉再飛颺，大珠小珠落玉盤，落英柳絮漫天舞，合力譜出韻味獨特的繪本饗宴。

　　以為永遠失去的，
　　卻慢慢回來了。

　　以為不再可能的，
　　卻重新創造驚喜。

　　列車列車，慢慢開⋯⋯
　　閉上眼睛一下下，讓我好好想一想。

Very colourful and lively illustrations, with rhythmical narration about little paradoxes in life.
