Peter Bruegel's Tower of Babel : The Builder With the Red Hat By Nils Jockel |
The scope of this delightful book encompasses history, painting, 16th-century construction techniques,
the conditions of workers, and the biblical story of the Tower of Babel--designed to reach up to heaven
but doomed to chaos. Pieter Bruegel painted two colorful, intricate, and mesmerizing versions of the
tower (this book shows both but focuses on just one in depth) and set them in his seaside hometown of
Antwerp, Belgium. Subtitled The Builder with the Red Hat, this picture book circles in on a close-up
of a tiny image--a man gesturing toward a building stone--and spins a tale about the construction site
as if this tiny fellow were telling the story. It's a charming device, and the text is written with
great sensitivity to a child's interests and listening ability. The style is conversational: "We should
take a closer look"; "Let us ask the man wearing the red cap and the apron"; "I'm sure you can imagine
how heavy the stone is that the worker is carrying on his back down the hill. Let's follow him...." The
language in the book is not overly simplified; "devices," "incorporated," or "extravaganza" would need
explanation. But even for a 2- or 3-year-old, there are many pleasures to be had just from gazing into
the pictures.
