《Papa,please get the moon for me》这部作品是卡尔写给女儿Cirsten的,绘本以大片的深蓝色作为主色,暖暖的蓝色让寂静的夜不再阴冷黑暗,画风依然是卡尔爷爷的招牌式拼贴画风,满满的圆月低低地挂在夜空,似乎触手可及,窗前的小女孩儿望着月亮毫无睡意,一只可爱的小黑猫在月下散步,故事以小女孩儿睡前一个不经意的想法开头,"I wish I could play with the moon!"自然引入故事情节,爸爸将Monica放在肩膀上和Monica伸手够月亮的背影温馨地向人们展示了父爱如山的独特情感,温暖人心,没有冠冕的许诺,没有打破女儿的美丽梦想,这就是父亲的爱,不如爱人之间的浓烈,不如母爱的细腻,无声却凝重。

在Monica提出"Please get the moon for me."的时候,绘本以对开的折页,打开后大于原版本两倍的表现手法让观者直接地感受到爸爸手里的梯子的长度,细细的梯凳无尽头,接着爸爸又把梯子立在"very high mountain,"两个"very"也让看绘本的小朋友深刻地感受到月亮离我们真的好远好远。绘本再次利用上翻的折页直观地展示月亮的高度,"Up and up and up he climed."

Before Monica went to bed she looked out of her window and saw the moon.

The moon looked so near “I wish I could play with the moon” thought Monica, and reached for it.

But no mater how much she stretched, she could not touch the moon.

“Papa,” said Monica to her father, ” Please get the moon for me.”

Papa get a very long ladder,he carried the very ladder towards a very high mountain.

Then Papa put the very long ladder on top of the very high mountain. Up and up and up he climbed.

Finally, papa got to the moon.

My daughter Monica would like to play with you” said papa,” but you are much to big. “

“Every night I get a little smaller,” said the moon. “When I am just the right size you can take me with you.” And, indeed, the moon get smaller and smaller and smaller.

When the moon was just the right size, papa took it.

Down and down and down he climbed.

“Here,” said papa to Monica, ” I have the moon for you.”

Monica jumped and danced with the moon. She hugged the moon and threw it into the air.

But the moon kept getting smaller and smaller and smaller, and finally it disappeared altogether.

Then, on night, Monica saw a thin sliver of the moon reappear. Each night the moon grew… and grew and grew.

当爸爸爬到梯子的顶端,卡尔爷爷用一整页画了一个大大的月亮,以至于样儿在看到月亮的时候不由自主地惊呼:"哇,好大的月亮啊!"接下来,爸爸和月亮的一段对话更是将爱心与善良发挥到极致,"My daughter Monica would like to play with you,"said papa,"but you are much too big.""Every night I get a little smaller,"said the moon. "When I am just the right size you can take me with you."随后月亮越来越小,卡尔爷爷不着痕迹地把月圆月缺的天文知识融入到了绘本中,直到只剩下一个小月芽儿的时候,爸爸把它摘了下来交给了女儿Monica,看着女儿开心地与月亮一起跳舞、蹦跳、拥抱、玩耍,爸爸的眼里全是幸福。

在这期间月亮仍在不停地变小,直至消失不见,而后又重回夜空,当Monica再次看到夜空中的月亮慢慢长大的时候,她安心地睡着了,月亮也再次露出了笑脸!看,那只小黑猫,她也在看月亮噢!在故事里Monica想要和月亮一起玩耍的美丽却不符实际的愿望并没有被爸爸的阻止,相反,爸爸非常地愿意帮助女儿并努力地为她实现愿望,当然这更不是一件容易的事,可爸爸最终却做到了,他帮女儿实现了这个愿望,给了女儿一个joyful surprise.
