日本全國繪本獎
隨著生活型態走向都市化,這一代孩子享受豐裕的物質,但同時也損失許多寶貴的東西。其一,是失去體驗大自然的機會。其二,是缺乏與親人共同面對生活困難,同甘共苦、共患難的學習經驗。
此時,在世界眾多優秀兒童圖畫書中,我們特別鍾愛岩村和朗的「十四隻老鼠」系列,並非因為它曾贏過比賽大獎,而是因為作者在這套書中流露出極豐富的自然觀察、家族生活體驗。這份自然之美與家族親情之愛交融無間的作品,使我們愛不忍釋,深覺它是最適合給現代兒童看的圖畫書。
作者岩村和朗,一九三九年生於東京。他在東京藝術大學畢業後,一度曾任職美術設計及電視卡通節目。然後,他全心全意投入了圖畫書的創作。最有意義的,是他厭倦東京都市生活,毅然帶領家人到郊外,自己選地、蓋家屋、尋水源,克服種種生活困難,過「回歸自然」的生活。從這經歷,我們可以充分瞭解岩村和朗創作「十四隻老鼠」靈感來源了。
「十四隻老鼠」以家族三代老鼠大家庭為主角,系列圖畫書包括:
「大搬家」──家族尋找美好環境、合力蓋家屋。
「吃早餐」──家族一起在大自然裡尋找食物。
「挖山芋」──在秋天裡尋找足以過冬的糧食。
「過冬天」──冬日大雪紛飛,家族自己製造玩具、尋樂趣。
「去郊遊」──冬去春來,萬物生發,是家族郊遊踏青,認識野生動植物的最好時機。
「洗衣服」──夏日炎炎,家族合作到河邊洗衣服,從工作中反而享受到了無限清涼。
「賞月」──中秋滿月,家族攜祭品食物,上了高樹賞月,美好的圓月象徵老鼠以辛勞換得的美滿家庭生活。
「捉迷藏」──家族在秋天的森裡頭玩捉迷藏,並尋找食物。
「晚安」──黃昏後,洗個熱水澡,家族共進晚餐,在溫馨的氣氛中進入甜美的夢鄉。
「遊池塘」──十隻小老鼠同遊蜻蜓池塘,共享歡樂的夏日時光。
「種南瓜」──兄弟姊妹同心齊力開墾南瓜田,享受南瓜豐收的成就與喜悅。
「搗年糕」──家族分工合作搗年糕,歡喜迎接新年到來……
從「十四隻老鼠」系列十二本圖畫書中,我們可以清晰看出作品的優點:由於作者岩村和朗對大自然熟悉、並且觀察入微,「十四隻老鼠」系列籠罩在春夏秋冬季節變遷的美景中。讀者大可以從圖畫中分辨不同季節動植物生態,不知不覺學會了自然觀察。
十四隻老鼠三代同堂,年齡個性能力都不同。他們一起為生活團結合作,各自發揮特長、互相照顧,不只克服種種困難,並達成和諧美滿的家庭生活。這種不畏生活艱難、勇於自己動手,熱愛自己家庭的態度,是現代都市兒童的最佳教育。
「十四隻老鼠」插圖細膩精美,極簡短的文字只為誘引讀者自行分辨書中角色和情境。十二本系列圖畫書,使讀者不知不覺進入老鼠世界,以老鼠的眼光去發現大自然無窮的新鮮和奇妙。而擁有十二本系列圖畫書的小讀者,也學會了從外表、服裝去判斷誰是爺爺、奶奶、爸爸、媽媽以及從老大到老么……這等於是讓讀者一下子結交了十四隻老鼠做親密玩伴。這可以使缺少玩伴的都市兒童,即使在公寓裡,也能跟十四隻老鼠到大自然裡去探險、遊歷、工作、嬉遊……這真是太好了。
岩村和朗「十四隻老鼠」系列的好處,一下子是說不完的。正如所有最佳圖畫書的長處──一切的優點,得在你翻閱圖畫書時,自己慢慢發現。
