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。
三只青蛙生活在一起。一天，爱冒险的那只青蛙捡回了一颗巨大的蛋，等蛋孵好以后，他们和蛋里的“小鸡”成为了好朋友。大家一起生活一起玩耍，直到有一天，“小鸡”找到了自己的妈妈，三只青蛙很开心，不过，他们却很疑惑：“鸡”妈妈对自己孩子的叫法怎么跟他们不一样呢？Now in Dragonfly comes the tale of three colorful frogs. Onefinds a pebble.
Another declares it a chicken egg. But what happens when a babyalligator
hatches instead? "Kids will giggle at the frogs' repeatedreferences to the
friendly newborn as `the chicken.' They'll be even more tickledwhen the frogs
chuckle at the `mother chicken' who, finally reunited with heroffspring,
greets her `sweet little alligator'...In his 40th book, Lionni isin
typically fine form" (Publisher's Weekly).
佩泽提诺也叫小P，他身边的朋友都是大个子，敢于冒险，做事也很漂亮，而他自己却是个小不点儿，他总觉得自己肯定是什么人身上的一小块儿。有一天，他决定去找到答案。他问了飞毛腿、大块头、游得快、山顶汉，可大家都说小P不可能是自己掉落的一小块儿。后来，住在山洞里的智多星建议小P去砰砰岛寻找答案，于是，小P驾着小船出发了……
《摘星的日子》——
坚持下去，找颗星星做朋友并不是奢望！
在众多题材中，奥利弗杰弗斯选取了摘星星这个潜伏在童年里的公共秘密——从遥远的天上摘下星星，和星星做朋友，的确是无数孩子的梦想——《摘星的日子》能瞬间唤起读者的亲切感。
作者精湛的绘画艺术在本书中发挥得淋漓尽致，同时我们也深深感受到作者在透视原理和色彩运用等方面的杰出能力，这些都是本书的鲜明特色。在纯粹而美好的光感中，我们触摸到了童年的透明和单纯，男孩追逐梦想的专注和执著也让我们深受震撼。
此外，作者的造型能力也值得一提。从构图来看，奥利弗?杰弗斯很有几分顽童心理，因为他非常善于将物体生命化，比如作品中的宇宙飞船看起来像一条活鱼，大海的波浪看起来像美人鱼的卷发，而星星，在这里放弃了我们熟悉的对称造型，并在参差的棱角中贯注了活力，看起来就像一个充满活力的孩子，因此，当他们牵着手散步时，他们的步伐和谐极了。对孩子的眼睛而言，万物有灵，一切都会变形，一切都富于生命，一切都活了起来。作者的创新能力和未泯的童心于此可见一斑。
一本多美好的书啊，它如此真切地告诉我们，也许要很长时间的等呵等呵，找呵找呵，但只要坚持下去，找颗星星做朋友并不是奢望呢。

今天天气真好，爸爸领着他的四个孩子去猎熊了。
他们不害怕，他们要抓一头大熊。
他们穿过草地，趟过又宽又冷的河流，走过沼泽和森林，穿越暴风雪——他们终于找到了一个黑漆漆的山洞。
咚咚咚！是谁呢？一个又湿又亮得鼻头，两个大耳朵，一双闪闪发亮的大眼睛……哇！是熊！！！
他们转身就逃。
逃出了山洞，逃出了暴风雪、逃出了森林和沼泽，逃出了草地回到家。可是刚逃到楼上就想起来，门还没关，于是又冲下来把门关上。五个人一起钻到了被子底下，齐声说：“我们再也不猎熊了！”
这是一本画面节奏跳跃的图画书，黑白素描与彩色插图在交替、整幅画面于阵列小图在交替、节奏忽快忽慢，读者的心也仿佛跟着爸爸和孩子们的脚步一起忽快忽慢的前进。好美的地方、好惊险有趣的冒险、好慎人的山洞，好吓人的大熊！折腾一圈之后，孩子们一定又兴奋又快乐，和爸爸一起探险哦！可是——也许图画书中的爸爸就和许许多多正揽着小孩子讲故事的家长一样，其实就是在家里，乃至在被窝儿里用想象力带着孩子做游戏！
别忘了那首脍炙人口的猎熊歌哦，we are going on a bear hunt/ we are going to catch abig one/ what a beautiful day/ we are not scared
In autumn, a strong wind blows flower seeds high in the air and carries them far across the land. One by one, many of the seeds are lost -- burned by the sun, fallen into the ocean, eaten by a bird. But some survive the long winter and, come spring, sprout into plants, facing new dangers -- trampled by playing children, picked as a gift for a friend. Soon only the tiniest seed remains, growing into a giant flower and, when autumn returns, sending its own seeds into the wind to start the process over again.
作者简介：Eric Carle's eloquent text and brilliant collages turn the simple life cycle of a plant into an exciting story, a nature lesson, and an inspiring message of the importance of perseverance.

Look! Look! The Cat wants to cook!
Told with simple rhymes and rhythms, this jaunty illustrated tale gives very young readers a taste of the Cat in the Hat’s flamboyant cooking skills as he slaps on a Chef’s hat and whips up purple cupcakes using some truly odd ingredients!

To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.
The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
