Book ID/图书代码： 11710410B39382

English Summary/英文概要： The white dove had been flying for a long time over the ocean. She was growing very tired, and her wings were beating more and more slowly. Suddenly, far below, she spied a tiny, round island. But was it an island? Or was it only a rock jutting up in the sea?

Whatever it was, she knew she must alight to rest. But she had perched there hardly long enough to sigh or to coo when she cried, "Why, this island is moving!"

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 白鸽一直在大海上飞翔，她已经飞了很长时间。她越来越累，翅膀拍打的速度也越来越慢。突然，在遥远的下方，她看到有一个圆圆的小岛。可那真的是一个小岛吗？还是仅仅是一块露出海面的礁石呢？不管它是什么，鸽子知道自己必须落下来休息了。可是，她才刚刚站稳，还没来得及好好喘口气，就立刻惊叫道：“哎呀，这个岛在动！”

* * 当然，这个“小岛”其实是一只海龟。海龟和白鸽很快就成为了好朋友，他们一起旅行，一起快乐地聊天。接着，突如其来的暴风雨一下子把这对伙伴分开了。海龟消失在海浪下面，而鸽子越飞越高，穿过乌云，飞向太阳。孩子们会非常喜欢阅读这个故事。他们将看到鸽子如何找到一个真正的小岛，实现了自己的愿望，在那里安住下来，并且和她的好朋友海龟——其实是两个家庭幸福地重逢。唐?弗里曼以娴熟而稳健的手法创作了这本图画书。恬静的故事，加上柔和的蓝灰色画面，使这部作品更具迷人色彩。

About the Author/作者介绍： Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California danceband. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students? League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings.
Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for the New York Times and the Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident; he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater.
He was introduced to the world of Childrens? Literature, when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: ?I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what?s next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It?s all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it?s such a pleasure. I don?t know when the time ends. I?ve never been happier in my life!?
Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear, named Corduroy.
