有个性的现代女孩 Stephanie's Ponytail & Paper Bag Princess (Classic Munsch)




今天娃爹回来的早,我做饭的时候,听见他们一起读这本。
借这个书也是因为这是ICECREAMAN MM推荐的Robert Munsch 系列中的一书。以为就是GOOFY GOOFY就完了。结果不然。
A little girl who is determined to strike a blow for nonconformity manages to arrive at school every day with a hairdo more outraegous than the day before. And each time, the cast of copycats grows and grows --- until the day she threatens to shave her head! The strong female voice will speak to many, asserting the importance of individuality and independent thought.

如简介所言,这是一本不错的“洗脑”好书。有趣的,意外的故事,润物细无声的告诉我们,要有自己的个性,原创性,不要跟风,不要做COPYCATS!走自己的路,让别人去MEAN吧!

娃看懂了没有不知道。至少他ENJOY了。

同作者另外一本 PAPER BAG PRINCESS 也是很有类似意思的一本。非一般性王子公主的童话故事。简直可以算是现代女性自立自强的宣言了,让偶想起来华人的泥螺同学的大气度。

洗脑要不要这么早啊!

人生如书 The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore



这本是在B&N转悠看到说是OSCAR短片得奖的影片原著,好奇,从图书馆借回来看看。丁丁上周看的。也是书太多了,要还的前一天匆匆的看了一遍。回头还需要再借了看看。一遍不太够。

这是又一本看了我比孩子感慨更多的图画书。

人生如书,书如人生。

绝对值得一读,再读的好书。

Good Night Good Night Construction Site

AmazonLink

给孩子借某个博客妈妈推荐的I STINK的时候看到AMAZON网页推荐,一看REVIEW很好,就REQUEST了。今天和孩子一起读了读,写的真不错。押韵,朗朗上口的,淡淡的有点轻松的幽默感。本来一人一页,到后面孩子抢着自己读了。

内容是男孩子爱看的CONSTRUCTION SITE,辛苦了一天,各种工具车们洗洗睡了的故事。

顺便把几个工具车的中文名字普及了一下。
crane truk:起重机(其实应该叫起重车?)
bulldozer: 推土机
cement mixer: 搅拌机(车) 嗯,忘了说水泥了。
excavator: 挖土机
dump truck: 翻斗车, 还有教泥头车和自卸车的。立刻联想到自推,哈!
