小時候,你是否有過東西亂扔,被長輩教訓的記憶?231Please respect copyright.PENANA2H1fRhdiYs
231Please respect copyright.PENANAGTScYJoYRN
玩具、娃娃、小汽車、書本丟不見了,找不著了,就會被教訓說:「難道書會自己長腳跑掉不成!」231Please respect copyright.PENANA6ooUsQKkyq
231Please respect copyright.PENANAFK30aHwYOy
在書店裡,還真有這種「自己長腳跑掉的書」。231Please respect copyright.PENANAzABATv4eum

店員茶葉蛋和店員艾莉兒曾負責童書區,童書區是很混亂的一區,一般成人看的書區也有被亂放的時候,大人們書本亂放往往是順手擺在顯眼位置,但是小孩子的書本亂放,是上天下地任我遨遊,有縫就插,沒縫還是插,奉行沒路走就自己開創。231Please respect copyright.PENANAl6COMM4Id0
231Please respect copyright.PENANAFiVQajfs2O
在童書區,書本被亂擺是日常風景。231Please respect copyright.PENANAPA8YuC6lbj
231Please respect copyright.PENANAq3jAJT6Cl7
當中卻有那麼一本書,在亂世之中長年位居亂王之王寶座。231Please respect copyright.PENANAxuhWw7be5w
231Please respect copyright.PENANASpXFsUOHWq
這則故事是關於小天下出版的童書繪本《我的老師是怪獸!(不,我不是!)》。231Please respect copyright.PENANAKctTTpliUc
231Please respect copyright.PENANAwZQAWVzTAT
這是一本永遠不在原處的繪本,只因它實在太受小孩子歡迎,每個經過的孩子都要拿起來翻幾下,翻完後彷彿被施展魔法般失憶幾分鐘前所有記憶,想不起原本從哪裡拿的。231Please respect copyright.PENANA6fNjlbXdhu
231Please respect copyright.PENANAnfvlCFzrEu
某日,又是一大群孩子肆虐完童書區後,店員茶葉蛋照例來巡視童書區,把被買走的書補上新的,整理被弄亂的書本。231Please respect copyright.PENANA6ljiWoBQlO
231Please respect copyright.PENANAHSKrh2olVL
「玩具好亂喔,小朋友又亂放了,咦?這裡怎麼卡了一本書,啊!怪獸老師又是你!」茶葉蛋從兒童玩具區撈出被亂放的《我的老師是怪獸》,順手將它擺回小天下出版社的書區。231Please respect copyright.PENANAz1lji0Y9bV
231Please respect copyright.PENANAg4vvSHU4hD
約莫一小時後。231Please respect copyright.PENANAUJj3UZCvlZ
231Please respect copyright.PENANA1TqYQdElAf
已經把書區整理過一遍的茶葉蛋從洗手間出來,他低頭看手錶,心想:時間好像差不多了。231Please respect copyright.PENANA8kP5NIT3e5
231Please respect copyright.PENANAzrrBSWeFdI
於是繞路過去看看小天下出版社書區的架上。231Please respect copyright.PENANAaKcbtBpJDd
231Please respect copyright.PENANALbf7yJFhmN
茶葉蛋忍不住笑出來,「噗......果然怪獸老師又跑掉了。」231Please respect copyright.PENANAUrCNhGrb9q
231Please respect copyright.PENANAarbpAEIKA4
沒錯,那本《我的老師是怪獸》又不見了。231Please respect copyright.PENANAxG08C65fSg
231Please respect copyright.PENANA8KUNTNmB7U
茶葉蛋晃了一圈後,從小麥田出版社的書區找到《我的老師是怪獸》,再把它放回架上。231Please respect copyright.PENANA4ARgMWBgg7
231Please respect copyright.PENANAB9alvGbOrT
五分鐘後。231Please respect copyright.PENANApyNptZotVw
231Please respect copyright.PENANAvXK4J8nVq1
店員艾莉兒也去整理書區,她回來後和茶葉蛋說:「我剛剛在維京出版社的繪本區找到《我的老師是怪獸》。」231Please respect copyright.PENANAMuuvPS7UtI
231Please respect copyright.PENANAOf3BjNJDqc
「不是吧,我才剛把它放回家而已。」茶葉蛋哭笑不得,「視線才移開幾分鐘,怪獸老師又長腳跑了。」231Please respect copyright.PENANAtgpQAi45q8
231Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZAwzdF0zZ
怪獸老師落跑的足跡遍佈整個童書區。231Please respect copyright.PENANAt94EwdX1cN
231Please respect copyright.PENANAC7cw6566ta
它曾在世一圖書的箱子裡,曾在風車圖書的架子上,曾在親子教養類型書區的第二層櫃子中,也曾偷偷混在兒童有聲書檯子區。231Please respect copyright.PENANAMbGCfg0QzO
231Please respect copyright.PENANAVXFRmYlWpR
它每一次失蹤,店員茶葉蛋和艾莉兒就得到處去找它,往往找回來沒多久,視線才剛挪開,轉眼它又跑掉了。231Please respect copyright.PENANAGE9y5vPiJ9
231Please respect copyright.PENANA249gvmc6ce
《我的老師是怪獸》是一本很可愛的繪本,封面畫了一頭綠色恐龍,臭著臉,手插腰的模樣,像極了每個人童年陰影裡的老師。231Please respect copyright.PENANA5DWfFycBgy
231Please respect copyright.PENANA9r5qpD60gm
書中的主角小羅有一位很嚴厲的老師柯比,柯比老師上課時總是大吼大叫,要他們安靜,不准他們講話,不准他們玩紙飛機。某次小羅在課外時遇見柯比老師,他與柯比老師一同坐在公園長椅上,小羅第一次發覺,柯比老師沒有像以往一樣變成怪獸大吼大叫,他看起來就像尋常人。231Please respect copyright.PENANA5uSIQEEEE6
231Please respect copyright.PENANA2W8tanK60V
如果將書翻到背面看,會發現張牙舞爪的怪獸老師,其實也只是平凡人而已。曾經以為的恐怖大怪獸,說不定只是還不夠了解對方。231Please respect copyright.PENANABqPscGCyHT
231Please respect copyright.PENANAYAjWFvy93Z
書店裡總是自己逃跑的繪本,也不是真的發生靈異故事。231Please respect copyright.PENANAvRTXVxsXrw
231Please respect copyright.PENANA4dm6IcQknT
僅僅是因為,孩子們非常愛這本書。231Please respect copyright.PENANAs62xQvvFf1
