《远在天边》——
真正的家就在心真正所在的地方……
《远在天边》是一个令人感动的故事。
小男孩有一天遇见了一只企鹅。企鹅一句话也不说，却总是跟着他，如影相随。小男孩以为自己读懂了企鹅的沉默，他想，企鹅一定是迷路了，于是男孩希望帮助企鹅找到回家的路。小男孩找了很久，问了很多，做了很多，终于知道企鹅的家在遥远的南极。小男孩决定亲自把企鹅送回家。他又想了很多，做了很多，在海上漂泊了很久，战胜了风，战胜了浪，战胜了遥远，也战胜了孤独，因为企鹅始终和他在一起。最后,终于成功地把企鹅送回了南极。
叙述到这里，故事已经完整，在左寻右找中我们体会到小男孩的责任感，张牙舞爪的海浪衬托出他的勇气，万里迢迢的征途见证了他的坚持。然而，作者并没有满足于这个完璧归赵的结局，也就是说作者并不满足于讲述一个完整的故事或者塑造一个完美的形象，作者的理想是需要通过这个故事来传达自己更深的思考。
茫茫大海上，离开企鹅的小男孩独自划着小船，突然，他终于真正读懂了企鹅的沉默。小男孩掉转船头，划向南极去寻找企鹅。这时思念小男孩的企鹅也勇敢地出发了，它要去寻找男孩。两个读懂了彼此的朋友再次出发了……此时，我们也读懂了奥利弗杰弗斯想说的话，企鹅真正的家不是南极，而是在一个无话不谈的地方，一个风雨无阻的地方，一个忠实坚守的地方，在它心灵所在的地方。一个朋友，可能是一个最好的精神归宿。
有时候，我们需要具备足够的智慧来认识到生命中最重要的那个人不是远在天边；我也需要具备足够的勇气来轻轻告诉生命中最重要的那个人：你在哪里，家就在哪里。

Told with simple rhymes and rhythms, this jaunty illustrated tale gives very young readers a taste of the Cat in the Hat’s flamboyant cooking skills as he slaps on a Chef’s hat and whips up purple cupcakes using some truly odd ingredients!

To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.
The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
