愿每一个孩子都能把月亮带回家
这不是一个虚构的故事,这是我小时候干过的诸多傻事中的一件。
然而,没曾想到的是,它却如诗如画地存留在了我童年的时光里,成为了我一生中最美的记忆。
小时候,我生活在一个偏僻的乡下,或许因为物质上的某种贫乏,也或许正因为这种贫乏,给我意外地留下了太多太多可以思考和想象的空间。
一个人走在田间小路上,或者在有点额外简朴的村子里转悠时,我最常思考的一个问题是:外面的世界是什么样的呢?
对于一个孩子来说,这是一个大问题。但是,却并不能和谁说,因为我知道,孩子的问题没有人会认真对待。
于是,我常常在夕阳西下的时候,望着那天边,望着那天边的尽头。
天边是什么?在一个孩子所能目及到的地方,大概就以为着那就是带着某种神秘的天边了。
它看起来不远,没有人告诉我说那就是地平线。我带着我对这世界的一切新鲜好奇,以为凭着我的一双小脚很快就能到达那里了……
于是,我曾经就这么傻傻地跑了很远很远……
因为,夏日里的夕阳西下的时候,地平线上,那曼妙无穷、美轮美奂的霞光里,有一个梦一样纯美的世界,和一个孩子所能有的全部向往。
这就是大自然的力量。我很庆幸我有如此美好的童年。
童年是一生中最宝贵的,也是一个人一生幸福的源泉。
一个孩子是不能没有童年的。一个脱离了大自然环境成长起来的孩子是不幸的,是注定不会有童年的,或者注定不会有完整的童年的。遗憾的是,现代的生活,尤其是城市,让我们一致地与大自然集体隔离了……
爱默生曾这样说:“真正说来,成年人很少有懂得自然本质的。多数人没有真正欣赏过太阳。太阳往往在成人眼前一晃而过,却能透过孩子的双眼照亮他们的心灵……他们的心灵无时无刻不与天地同在。”
所以,请带孩子到广漠的原野里去吧!让他感受大自然的壮观、奇妙,感受日出日落曼妙的美,夕阳西下的美轮美奂;感受月亮挂在静静的夜空,感受漫天的繁星……一个孩子的成长中,如果没有这些可以让他插上一对幻想的翅膀的记忆,那将是一生的缺憾……
这不仅是对落日、晚霞、充满无限诱惑的美丽的地平线,及宁静的月亮、繁星等自然现象的客观书写。也是对理想、梦想所赋予的一种追求。我想要重复一个人人都以为认知的道理:任何付出都会有收获……所不同的是,也许,它只是以另外一种形式实现而已。
愿世界上每一个孩子,都能有一个美好的童年;愿每一个孩子,都能在童年里,把自己心中的月亮带回家。

“A told B, and B told C, ‘I’ll meet you on top of the coconuttree.’” This rollicking rhythmic beginning starts a lively, tongue-tingling adventure as all the characters from A to Z try to climb to the top of the coconut tree. But will there be enough room? With an insistent, repetitive chorus of “chicka, chicka, boom, boom,” this book entertains while teaching the alphabet without even trying. Capital and small letters are both introduced. When all the letters get to the top of the tree, it bends over and all the “baby” (lower case) letters fall out. Then, each “adult” (upper case) letter comes, rescues its baby, and runs home to take care of their various (not serious) injuries. A very clever presentation of the alphabet.
I remember this book from my childhood and was delighted to be ableto find it on Amazon and read it to my children, who love it aswell. The clever mouse dentist and his wife know they shouldn'ttreat the fox, but are too kind-hearted to turn away a creature inpain. But they think of a plan to make sure he doesn't eat themafter the treatment! Very funny text and pictures. Agem.
William Steig's books are very funny both to adults and children,which is an amazing accomplishment if you think about it.
The story involves a mouse dentist, Dr. DeSoto, who has a foxpresent himself for dental work. Normally Dr. DeSoto doesn't workon carnivorous patients, but he feels sorry for the fox, who has atoothache. Even while Dr. DeSoto is fixing the fox's tooth,however, the fox is thinking about what a tasty treat his dentistwill be.
The humor lies in William Steig's use of language -- he is wellknown for not talking down to children, but slipping in somewonderful "big words" that children love to hear and that increasetheir vocabularies painlessly.
I can't imagine anyone not finding this book entertaining. WilliamSteig will be greatly missed.
