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。

Clement Hurd redrew some of his pictures for this new edition of the profoundly comforting story of a bunny’s imaginary game of hide-and-seek and the lovingly steadfast mother who finds him every time.
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.
