我是貓耶

Rate this book
「開什麼玩笑,我是貓耶!」
  就算害怕、就算逃跑,還是不改本性!
  驚悚、逗趣、不思議

  有一隻超愛吃魚的貓。在所有的魚當中,牠最愛吃鯖魚了。「好久沒吃鯖魚了,今天晚上就來吃鯖魚吧!」中午才吃過鯖魚的貓說 道。在散步途中,貓一直想著鯖魚。突然間,有個東西飛過來打掉貓的帽子,貓一看居然是條鯖魚,貓很驚訝,但更讓貓驚嚇的是,後面居然游過來一群鯖魚,一直對他說:「你吃了鯖魚喔!」貓嚇得拔腿就跑,但還是一邊喊著「開什麼玩笑,我是貓耶!」的貓能逃得過鯖魚的追殺嗎?而這一切究竟是怎回事呢?

  《我是貓耶!》這本小書,乍看之下有著非常荒謬的外表,一隻愛吃鯖魚的貓,反而被魚給追殺,而他一邊被追殺,還一邊喊著「我是貓耶!」這句聽起來完全像是廢話的話,卻是支撐著貓的勇氣來源。作者藉由貓與魚的翻轉,暗示著人生中充滿各種荒謬的遭遇,但只有堅定地知道自己是誰,不改本性,就會有勇氣與智慧去面對。貓就是吃鯖魚的啊,怎麼可能會有被魚給欺負的道理,所以貓歷經這場似幻似真的艱險之後,儘管剛剛才被鯖魚追殺,還是堅持自我的說:「啊!好久沒吃鯖魚了,今天晚上就來吃鯖魚吧!」而這正是佐野洋子式的人生哲學。

  本書中,佐野洋子以簡單的色調與俐落的筆觸,刻劃出不思議的魔幻場景,尤其兩個大膽的全黑畫面以及兩個滿布鯖魚的劇場式設計,令人叫絕。全書高潮迭起,充滿無厘頭的逗趣,簡單卻很深刻。

What an odd book…

A cat who LOVES eating saba (mackerel) is taking a stroll in the forest, thinking “I’ll have Saba for dinner tonight…” when out of nowhere he’s attacked by flying saba! With ridiculous sharp teeth. “This ain’t the ocean! What’s goin’ on!”

He escapes by running into town and ducks into a movie theater… safe.

Only to look around him and find—every other member of the audience is a saba!!! Still with those crazy fangs!

He high tails it back to the forest (because that makes sense)… finds the pipe and hat he’d lost in the earlier attack.

And the book ends exactly where it began—the cat continues his walk, and thinks he’ll have saba for dinner.

All in all, it’s very nightmare-ish. I can imagine children enjoying the wacky, at times over the top ugly illustrations… (I myself love the cover illustration.) I find it harder to imagine children enjoying the story itself… makes me curious to know kids reactions to the story. Maybe it’s simply funny?
