MAY最近一周看的书 （2006-04-24 16:36:29）

看书的速度越来越快。我一直想找到非常符合她胃口的书。惦记着在上海的那两箱书啊。

"WEMBERLY WORIED" BY Kevin Henke
提到童书，这几个CHARACTER是少不掉的：MADELINE， WINNIE THE POOH， CHARLOTTE，还有这个LILLY。这个小老鼠一直都在杞人忧天，和我一样，担心着并未发生甚至根本都不会发生的事情。对于这个小老鼠的担心，我并没有全部解释给聪聪听，因为我怕她听了以后，也开始担心起来。
“OWEN”
是同一个作者，一个形象的小老鼠。这本是CALDECOTT HONOR BOOK。
FRANKLY SPEAKING，我对老鼠一直非常讨厌，但是这是得了奖的书啊，我们也应该崇拜一下，是不？讲的是一个小老鼠一直拿着她小时候的一块BLANKET，一直到要上学了还要拿着。聪聪没有这样的爱好，所以她也不是特别能够理解，但是看得出来她对这只小老鼠还是很喜欢的。
（另：让聪聪看她小时候的照片，大概是三、四个月的时候的吧。她看了，说，“为什么这个小BABY要睡在我的PILLOW上啊？）

“SAM’S BALL”
这本书借的时候我就知道给聪聪看是有点偏简单了，但是我是想介绍给她完整的一句话的表达法，用英语。这本书达到了这个目的。聪聪很喜欢，也几乎都背下来了。

“AWAY WE GO！”（Harper Growing Tree）
借这本书是想和BABY EINSTEIN里的ON THE GO呼应，又多认识了几项交通工具：WHEELCHAIR， CABLE CAR，SUBWAY，SLED，TAXI。

“FIRST FRIENDS”（Harper Growing Tree）
压韵的，并且讲的都是她身边的事，一般喜欢。

《大嘴巴的长耳兔》
这还是上次台湾的“幼儿脑力图画书”中的一册。这本书想讲的是如果我们把快乐传递给别人，一定能增加别人的喜悦；相反的，如果将善意误传为恶讯，则会造成彼此感情的决裂。我觉得对聪聪来说，有一点太深的。但是图画本身还是充满童趣的。

"WATCH WHERE YOU GO"
一只小老鼠到处跑，都是在其他人的身上。我故意让聪聪猜小老鼠是跑在了谁的身上，效果非常好。每次读，她总会哈哈大笑。

“UP DAY DOWN DAY”
这是我随便找的一本书，没有想到聪聪很喜欢。我不知道她是否真正地理解了其中的幽默。
everyone has up days and down days. A sunday spent fishing with his friend Jeremy is definitely not an up day, since the young hero caught nothing except cold.  but things soon look up when staying home with a cold turns out not to be so bad after all!
可能是少儿版的“塞翁失吗，焉知非福？”

“MAISY’S RAINBOW DREAM”
“JAZZY IN THE JUNGLE” BY LUCY COUSINS
这本是纯粹地追星借的书，自然是读上很多遍的。

“TEN APPLES UP ON TOP” by Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss的书我自己一直不怎么喜欢，所以给聪聪INTRODUCE也晚，我觉得比较SILLY，可能孩子就是喜欢这种SILLY吧，只要我念，她还是很喜欢的，不住地点头，就象是RAP一样。

“THE APPLE PIE TREE”
字大，图画也是满满一页的那种，一个完整的故事，似乎很适合聪聪现在的阅读。她也听得比较仔细，能够重复个大概。

"ON THE MOVE" (LET'S READ-AND-FIND-OUT SCIENCE BOOKS LEVEL I)
我自己是学文科的，所以对SCIENCE的书一直也给MAY介绍得比较少。这个STAGE 1 explain simple and easly observable sceince concepts for preschool- and kindergarten-age children.决心一点点地看完这个系列。

“MOTHER GOOSE MATH”
想用她喜欢的韵律来帮助她学习数学来着。未果。

“DON‘T LAUGH， JOE！”
Mother possum is trying to teach Joe, her baby to play dead, because that's how possums escape their enemies.这个对我来说很难，因为DEATH这个概念对聪聪来说还是模糊的，所以，我就稍微改变了故事，但是听上去不是那么回事。

“MIGHTY MADDIE”
借这本书的唯一目的就是为了教育聪聪要CLEAN UP HER ROOM AND HER PLAY MAT。还在教育的过程中。

"It's mine!"   Lionni, Leo
原本借来是想强调一下SHARE的概念，HOWEVER，确被聪聪强调了MINE的概念。

“The hello, goodbye window”
这是得奖的书，看着封面挺喜欢的，应该是很温馨的那种。但是我自己个人的意见是不怎么样。聪聪对里面的图画和文字文字都不是很感兴趣。

“Book! book! book!”   Bruss, Deborah
讲一堆农场里的动物去图书馆借书的故事。聪聪非常喜欢，可以坐在那里，自己对自己讲好几遍：）

“Every buddy counts”
聪聪虽然数数不好，但是对这本书，还是比较喜欢的，尤其是其中一页，“大家都躺着数星星”

“ On my way to buy eggs”   Chih-Yuan, Chen
在图书馆看到这本书的时候，就是因为作家是位华人。文笔是细腻的，图片是精美的，注重细节的，颜色是单一的。聪聪比较喜欢。

“The family book”   Parr, Todd.
TODD的书家里已经买了很多了，所以对这本，聪聪也不是特别感冒。







另外：原来的记录也放在这里好了：8/15/2005
MAMA’S COMING HOME

Kate banks

The clock goes ticktock on the wall.

The phone is ringing down the hall.




Shops are closing for the day.

Mama’s coming home.



Papa turns the oven on.

Ties an apron round his waist.



Horns are blaring.  Whistles blowing.

Mama’s coming home.



Boys are sprawling on the floor.

Baby’s crawling toward the door.



The slidwalk throbs with footsteps.

Mama’s coming home.



Papa’s rolling pizza dough.

Laying sausage row by row.



The station platform fills with crowds.

Mama’s coming home.



The dog is howling loudly.

Growling at the cat.



The train moves slowly down the track.

Mama’s coming home.



Papa feeds the baby.

Scolds the boys, the dog, the cat.  “Mama’s coming home!” he says.



People clamber off the train.

Clouds are swelling fast with rain.

Mama’s coming home.



Now the dog is munching.

Crunching on a bone.



Thunder clapping.  Raincoats flapping.

Mama’s coming home.



Boys have got the table made.

Laid with plates and silverware.



Eager feet are hastening.

Mama’s coming home.



Baby’s legs are turning.

Churning like a riverboat.



The streetlights flicker on like stars.

Mama’s coming home.



Boys are picking up their toys.

The cat is licking doggy’s ears.



Footsteps hurry up the walk.

Mama’s coming home.



Little faces beaming.

Gleaming in the windowpane.



Kisses flying. No more crying.

Mama’s coming home.



Mama’s home!

Music is

Lloyd Moss

Music fills our lives with magic; music is a wondrous thing.  Music bright or music tragic, music makes you cry or sing.  In the morning when you wake up, nighttime when you go to bed, music’s always there to take up lots of space inside your head.



Music makes my foot start tapping. Music makes me wave my hand.  Singing, humming, chanting, rapping; fingers snapping.  Music’s grand



Music is a magic potion. Happy music makes me smile.

Music’s like a mighty ocean, full of motion all the while



Music plays when people marry, music when your birthday’s here.  Just before it’s January, on the last day of the year.



Music when we go parading on the 4th day of july.  Music after daylight’s fading; serenading lullaby.



Music in the elevator, sometimes music on the phone.



After school or on a date or later when I am all alone.



Music when a band is coming, sounding out a marching song.



Bugles blare to sounds of drumming, and I’m humming right along.



Symphony or horn concerto.

I compare to heaven’s sound.  Any orchestras that care to sure can play while I’m around.



Solo, duo, quartet, trio; chamber music I rate high.  Brass or strings, when played with bio, lift my spirits to the sky.



Sondheim, Rodgers, Gershwin, porter, Mozart, Bach or Ellington;



Any time, in any order, all their music’s lots of fun.



Verdi, Humperdinck, Puccini; opera is such a thrill.  Those by Bizet and Rossini please me, and they always will.



Tango, rumba, cha-cha, mambo, music with a hip-hop beat any number, any combo, gets me up and on my feet.



Rock, calypso, waltzing rhythm, polka, ballroom, stomp or trot, it’s a trip, so I dance with them.  Large room, small room, matters not.





Music has an eerie power; music is my truest friend, brightening a lonely hour, comforting from start to end.



If there never had been music, if it never did exist, what would life be without music? Think of what we would have missed!
