Dude 是一隻自認為「全城最友善」的熊,他決定整天都要幫助朋友和鄰居,把好事做到底。但問題是,他常常沒有先問清楚別人的需求,就直接開始「幫忙」:拆掉毛衣、放走狗狗,甚至把冰淇淋聚會搞得一團亂。Dude 以為自己在做好事,卻反而讓情況變得更混亂。在朋友 Fizz 的陪伴下,Dude 必須開始思考:如果沒有真正幫上忙,那還算是「好意」嗎?這是一本幽默又溫暖的繪本,透過有趣的故事提醒孩子:善良很重要,但更重要的是先傾聽、尊重別人真正的需要。
Meet Dude, the nicest Dude in town! Or so he thinks . . .
Created in part by the organization dude. be nice, whose mission is to “inspire people to treat themselves and others better" comes a book about a bear named Dude. He decides that he wants to do nice things for his friends and neighbors. All day long. But Dude doesn't exactly know how to read the room and tends to forget the most crucial part of helping people: asking first. So when Dude unravels a sweater, frees some dogs, and ruins an ice cream social, he needs to reckon with his own niceness: is it really nice if he wasn't that helpful? Can Dude and his best friend Fizz save the day before Dude makes too big of a mess?
With a bouncy text from Sarah Scheerger and gorgeous illustrations by debut children's book artist Alex MacNaughton, Dude. Be Nice is a tale of good intentions and not-so-good outcomes, sure to make readers giggle along the way.
