Whittington 惠灵顿传奇（纽伯瑞奖） 9780375828652

     在一间挤满了“遗弃动物”的谷仓里，有退休的赛马，过度亢奋的公鸡，一群又矮又吵的母鸡，一只名叫大小姐的莫斯科鸭子，以及新来的神秘大猫惠灵顿，还有时常来造访的狗、老鼠和一对学习吃力的小姐弟。  
    大猫惠灵顿用分段式的方法，讲述一个令大家又惊叹又感动的冒险故事——他的祖先和一位少年狄克·惠灵顿互相支持，发迹致富的传奇经历。

Whittington is a roughneck Tom who arrives one day at a barn full of rescued animals and asks for a place there. He spins for the animals—as well as for Ben and Abby, the kids whose grandfather does the rescuing—a yarn about his ancestor, the nameless cat who brought Dick Whittington to the heights of wealth and power in 16th-century England. This is an unforgettable tale about the healing, transcendent power of storytelling, and how learning to read saves one little boy.
