《玛德琳游伦敦》是作者路德维格·贝梅尔曼斯继《玛德琳》成功出版后创作的续集,也是启发继成功引进、出版《玛德琳》,时隔5年再次推出的玛德琳系列绘本故事。由于是作者去世前不久的作品,比起《玛德琳》绘笔更趋成熟。他笔下这个可爱、聪明的玛德琳的形象已深入人心,其快乐的孩童世界持续感染着一代代的大小读者……
这是一套满是童心、童真、童趣的绘本。书本小小的,小鹅小小的,故事也小小的,甚至小鹅们为之快乐或悲伤的事儿也是那么小,小得让大人觉得不值一提。小鹅们爱做的事儿似乎也简单,它们吃好吃的,玩好玩的,穿着雨靴散步,简单到大人觉得无聊。
但对孩子们来说,这些小故事里有着孩子们的大世界,包含着孩子们相互的交往和对世界的自由探索。
孩子应当是在孩子的世界里学会交往的,只有融入同龄人当中,他们才能学会如何与人相处,如何解决矛盾,如何交朋友,并在和朋友一起玩耍的过程中认识自己、调整自己。这样,孩子以后才更能更容易地形成适应社会所需的人格。“穿雨靴的小鹅”系列里的每只小鹅就是一个极有个性的孩子。在他们之间,有小孩子对大孩子的崇拜,有大孩子对小孩子的照顾,有分享也有分歧,有任性也有服从。他们独立的自我正在萌芽,而有些矛盾有些问题,大人不必过多介入,他们自有解决的智慧。

ls-than the Disney Golden Books.The history of these books began in 1933, when the president of Whitman Publishing wrote a letter to Walt Disney. Whitman had already published compilations of the "Dick Tracy" and "Little Orphan Annie" comic strips, and these Big Little Books had met with great success. The publisher proposed a similar collection of the "Mickey Mouse" comic strips, and offered a royalty of one-half percent per book. Walt agreed, and a new era in Disney publishing commenced.A remarkable lineup of talent, many of whom were Disney Studio artists - including Mary Blair, Alice and Martin Provensen, Gustaf Tenggren, Al Dempster, Retta Scott Worcester, and Bill Peet -created the illustrations for the early Disney Golden Books. The bold and incredibly detailed artwork was painstakingly executed in gouache and watercolour - media that required a steady hand and immense patience and precision. The resulting publications became favourite selections in the libraries of many children, among them, future generations of Disney and Pixar artists who were inspired to draw, dream, and later, create their own films and Golden Books.The Art of the Disney Golden Books celebrates a legacy that has now thrived for more than eighty years and continues to influence new generations of artists and filmmakers. Through interviews with contemporary animators who recall tracing the characters in their childhood Disney Golden Books, paintings by artists who influenced and inspired the Disney Golden Book illustrations, and a generous complement of Golden Book artwork - much of which was thought to have been lost until very recently - the rich tradition of the series is explored in this vibrant volume.From Peter Pan and Cinderella to Toy Story and Tangled, the Disney Golden Books are displayed in all their glory, evoking a poignant sense of wonder and nostalgia. For as long as parents and children partake in the ritual of reading together at bedtime, the Disney Golden Books will continue to be published, enjoyed, and treasured.
