In 2010, the 3D animated film "Owl Kingdom: Legend of the Guardians", directed by Zach Schneider and voiced by Ryan Coventus and Jim Sturges, was released in China, and I still remember the excitement of my son when I took my son to see this movie, and I was also fascinated by the cute shape of the little owl furry like a small round ball in the movie. This owl-themed cartoon opened up the love of animals for the little son, and was obsessed with nocturnal animals for a long time.
Movie "Owl Kingdom: Legend of the Guardians"
Owls are also known as "owls [xiāo]", and because of their appearance like cats, they are generally called "owls". Owls are a total of more than 130 species of animals distributed on all continents except Antarctica, they like to hide among the leaves during the day to sleep, wait until nightfall to feed, is a typical nocturnal carnivore, the food is mainly rodents, but also eat insects, birds, lizards, fish and other animals.
The movie "Owl Kingdom: The Guardian Legend" is based on the best-selling book "Owl Kingdom", which has sold 30 million copies worldwide and is highly recommended by the New York Times.
"The Kingdom of the Owl" is a best-selling children's book by the famous American author Catherine Laske, and is an important fantasy masterpiece created after ten years of studying the habits of owls.
Catherine Latkey is a well-known American author who has won the Silver Medal at the Newbury Children's Literature Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the ALA Best Children's Book Award from the American Library Association. She is also the recipient of the Boston Globe Award and the Washington Post Children's Book Association Award. He has published more than 70 works such as the "Desperate Wolf King" series.
Catherine Rasqui is a lover and researcher of animals, and in her writings, animals such as wolves, owls, and bears have always been the protagonists of her work. Through her husband's tenure as a National Geographic photojournalist and documentary filmmaker, Catherine Latkey had the opportunity to delve into the living environment of animals, observe their habits, and understand their survival habits and life details.
Her real and meticulous depiction of animals in her works, her magnificent and colorful literary imagination and elegant literary ink have earned her the reputation of the "Queen of Animal Fantasy Novels" in the United States.
Today, Chen Mama wants to share the Chinese edition of "Owl Kingdom" published by Relay Press in 2021.
Cover of Owl Kingdom
I have always liked to read the original works more than to watch film and television drama works, compared to the intuitive stimulation of film and television works, the original works can make me have a richer imagination, can be more dimensional to imagine the pictures in various stories, rather than being limited by the intuitive pictures in film and television works.
Sure enough, after reading the original book of "Owl Kingdom", I liked books even more.
This set of "Owl Kingdom" was translated by Ma Ainong, and Ma Ainong's translation level naturally needless to say, and it is very smooth to read, and it has a children's book context.
Stills from the movie Owl Kingdom: Guardian Legends
The three themes of "adventure, search, and growth" in fantasy novels are vividly reflected in "Owl Kingdom".
On a small island in the middle of the Hul Sea, there are towering giant trees. In the sky, there are owl guardians soaring freely. In the tree cave, there are elders who tell a long-standing legend for the curious little owl. Countless little owls were born here, and the best of them, tempered and fought in the tribulations, became the kings of the owl kingdom for generations.
Just as in the human world, children cannot grow up without the care of their parents. In the world of owls, the growth of small owls is also inseparable from the care of parents and nannies blind snakes.
The nanny blind snake of the owl family
One of the great things I love about Catherine's novels is that she has a very wide range of knowledge, and in the process of reading, we can find that she cleverly integrates various knowledge into the story and characters. For example, the zoological common sense of the symbiosis of the owl family and the blind snake. The blind snake is the nanny character in the owl family, and I believe that children who have read and watched "Owl Kingdom" can accurately remember it.
The Little Owl Salem family has a father, a mother, an older brother Kunlang, a sister Elan and a blind snake nanny, Pi Taitian, a total of 6 people. It is a family full of love and ritual, and every moment of growth in the life of the little owls is celebrated by the family with various anniversaries: the first insect ceremony (the first time the little owls eat insects), the first flight ceremony (the first flight of the little owls), the first ceremony of eating the woolly meat, the first ceremony of spitting out the small food ball...
In this otherwise happy family, Cyring could have grown up like other little owls, but one day he fell from the nest on the top of the tree to the ground, and although Cyring was lucky not to be injured, he was abducted by the bandit owl regiment passing by and brought to a terrible orphanage of the Holy Spirit Owl, where a large number of little owls who had been abducted from all over the world were gathered, they were collectively managed by General Abala and his men, hypnotized by the moonlight, and they forgot their previous lives , the walking dead live like a living.
Cyrlin and The little elf owl Geiffey became the only good friends in this sinister world, and they tried their best to escape the moonlight hypnosis and pretend to be hypnotized while waiting for them to grow up enough to fly enough wings to leave the Holy Spirit Owl Orphanage.
"There is nothing to be afraid of, only fear itself."
Friendship and betrayal, shock and perseverance, defense and judgment... In the search for success, it is not more powerful magic that is defeated, but justice, unity, faith and courage. It's a coming-of-age story of two children, told by the race of owls, and in fact behind the story is an adventure and growth. With firm faith, the little owls finally achieved their own brilliant legend.
I love children's books like this.
Different from the domestic animal children's books that focus on environmental protection themes, this set of "Owl Kingdom" has both the life habits of owls and the growth and experience of small owls. Professional zoological knowledge coupled with growing adventures and ethical adherences is a rare set of children's novels that perfectly combine animal habits with human nature and fantasy.
618 is coming, this summer vacation, prepare for children this set of children's books that are praised by the American media as "a masterpiece that integrates and overrides "Harry Potter" and "Happy Bigfoot", and runs freely in reality and imagination", giving children rich literary nourishment and masculinity of life, pouring vitality into children's growth, and plumping their soaring wings!
