那天晚上,麦克斯穿上他的狼服,开始了恶作剧。妈妈骂他:“野兽!”麦克斯说:“我要吃掉你!”结果妈妈没让他吃晚饭,把他关到了房间里。 正是在那天晚上,麦克斯的房间里长出了一片树林,海上漂来了一艘小船。他日夜航行,一个星期又一个星期,几乎用了一年的时间,到了一个野兽出没的地方。野兽们发出了可怕的咆哮,磨着它们可怕的牙齿,转动着它们可怕的眼睛,伸出了它们可怕的爪子。“别动!”麦克斯的眼睛一眨也不眨,盯着它们的黄眼睛,用魔法驯服了它们。它们全都害怕了,把他当成了野兽之王。 “现在,”麦克斯喊,“让野兽们闹起来吧!”它们又是对着月亮吼叫,又是吊在树上,等闹够了,“停!”麦克斯不让它们吃晚饭就让它们去睡觉了。
可是他这个野兽之王突然感到孤独起来,想到一个被人爱的地方去。这时,从遥远的世界的那一边,飘来了好吃的东西的香味。 他决定放弃在这个野兽出没的地方当国王了。可是野兽们喊:“哦,请不要走——我们要把你吃掉——我们如此爱你!”野兽们发出可怕的咆哮,磨着它们可怕的牙齿,转动着它们可怕的黄眼睛,伸出了它们可怕的爪子。但麦克斯还是上了他的小船,挥手说再见了。 然后他航行了一年,又回到了他自己房间的那个夜晚。他发现他的晚饭正等着他,而饭还是热的。
苏斯博士,可以说是二十世纪最受欢迎的儿童图画书作家,在英语世界里,是家喻户晓的人物。他创作的图画书,人物形象鲜明,个性突出,情节夸张荒诞,语言妙趣横生,是半个多世纪以来孩子们的至爱,同时他的书也被教育工作者推荐给家长,作为提高阅读能力的重要读物。
孩子喜欢的古怪精灵的读物,为什么也会受到教师的青昧,被列为学生提高阅读能力的重要读物呢?这与苏斯博士开始创作儿童图画书的背景有关。
二十世纪五十年代,美国教育界反思儿童阅读能力低下的状况,认为一个重要原因就是当时广泛使用的进阶型读物枯燥无味,引不起孩子的兴趣。苏斯博士的Beginner Books便应运而生。作为初级阅读资料,这些书力求使用尽可能少的简单词汇,讲述完整的故事。但远远高于过去进阶型读物的,是苏斯博士丰富的想象力、引人入胜的情节和风趣幽默、充满创造力的绘画和语言。
苏斯博士的图画书在讲述有趣故事的同时,更有一个特别的功能,即通过这些故事来使孩子们从兴趣出发轻松地学习英语。从简单的字母,到短语、句子,再到一个个故事,苏斯博士的图画书,亦是一套让孩子们循序渐进掌握英语的优秀读物。例如其中《苏斯博士的ABC》一书,就从英文的二十六个字母入手,将字母和单词配合起来讲解,同时,这些单词又组成了一个个韵味十足的句子,不断重复加深读者对字母的记忆和理解。《一条鱼两条鱼红色的鱼蓝色的鱼》和《在爸爸身上蹦来跳去》也是采取类似的方式进行单词和句子的讲解。《穿袜子的狐狸》则是充满了饶有风趣的绕口令,对诵读者来说是一个充满快乐的挑战。
苏斯博士,可以说是二十世纪最受欢迎的儿童图画书作家,在英语世界里,是家喻户晓的人物。他创作的图画书,人物形象鲜明,个性突出,情节夸张荒诞,语言妙趣横生,是半个多世纪以来孩子们的至爱,同时他的书也被教育工作者推荐给家长,作为提高阅读能力的重要读物。 《绿鸡蛋和火腿》的创作源于苏斯博士和一位朋友打赌,能否用五十个单词写成一个故事。于是便有了这本脍炙人口的书。故事是容易引起孩子共鸣的熟悉话题——要不要尝试新食物。故事情节发展激烈,一个拼命劝,一个玩命躲,最后的结局出人意料。苏斯博士的语言是节奏感很强的韵文,朗朗上口,书中所用词汇很少,而且句子结构大量重复,只置换少量单词,孩子一旦记住了第一句,后边的句子很容易读出来,让孩子颇有成就感。
