一个勇敢的小女孩，一栋古怪的房子和一条怕痒的龙帮助年轻读者通过高迪的眼睛看世界。

这个有趣的故事以安东尼•高迪最**的建筑之一巴特罗公寓（CasaBatlló）为背景，让小读者们首次接触这位建筑师的作品，并激发了他们的好奇心和想象力。在她的保姆睡觉时，小帕洛玛听到了声音。她爬上房子的楼梯一直到达屋顶，上面栖息着一条龙。帕洛玛毫不畏惧地伸出手来抚摸这条龙——但他很怕痒，大笑的时候，他喷出了无意间吞下的无数海洋动物。房子变成了梦幻的水族馆，巨龙在屋顶上沉睡了。书的最后包括一段关于高迪事业的简史，为帕洛玛的故事提供了有帮助的背景。孩子们会想流连于这些图片，想像一下如果龙住在他们的屋顶上，他们自己的房子会是什么样。

A brave young girl, a whimsical house, and a ticklish dragon help young readers see the world through Gaudí's eyes.

Set in Casa Batlló, one of Antoni Gaudí's most renowned buildings, this joyful story introduces young readers to the architect's work, inciting their curiosity and imagination along the way. While her nanny is sleeping, young Paloma hears a noise. She climbs the stairs of her house until she reaches the roof, where a dragon is perched. Unafraid, Paloma reaches out to pet the dragon--

but he is ticklish, and as he laughs, he spews a myriad of sea animals that he had unwittingly swallowed. The house is transformed into a dreamy aquarium and the dragon settles into a deep sleep on the roof. Cécile Alix's playful story and Fred Sochard's boldly graphic illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to Gaudí's exuberant vision. As readers make their way through Paloma's home, they are introduced to its fabulous elements--columns shaped like elephant legs; marine-

inspired tiles, glass, and ironwork; and of course the spectacularly undulating, iridescent roof, which resembles a sleeping dragon. The end of the book includes a brief history of Gaudí's career and provides helpful background to Paloma's story. Kids will want to linger over the pictures and imagine what their own house would be like if a dragon were living on their roof.
