小朋友有没有想过，自己到底喜不喜欢你自己？这本书里的主角，是一个“真心喜欢自己”的快乐小猪妹，她算不上特别漂亮，也没有什么特异禀赋，就像我们身边最常见的小朋友，但是她很懂得照顾自己，既使没有朋友在身边，也会做一些让自己愉快的事情。如果犯了错或是遇到了挫折，她会给自己再一次的机会尝试。
这是一本图文俱佳的优秀儿童绘本，通过亮丽画面传达出的，是一种具有普遍意义的、非常重要的早期教育思想——孩子要从小建立积极的自我概念。自我概念是指对自己的感觉和认识。
从孩子口中，我们听到过太多“我喜欢妈妈”、“我喜欢爸爸”、“我喜欢老师”之类的外向性表达，“我喜欢自己”的自白对小孩子来说却相对陌生。而《我喜欢自己》最大的特点正在于，绘本对“我”的强调非常明显，非常惹眼！
当一个孩子意识到自己和他人的分别时，“我”就成为塑造和成就的对象。参与的主体自然包括了家长和孩子本身，但从终极的角度来说，孩子本身无疑是第一位的、主导性的，家长是第二位的、辅助性的，借用电影里面的话来说就是“自个儿成全自个儿”。这个绘本的叙述也如诸多童书那样，每一次都采用“我”作为主体，并且实实在在地关注孩子生活的方方面面。
《远在天边》——
真正的家就在心真正所在的地方……
《远在天边》是一个令人感动的故事。
小男孩有一天遇见了一只企鹅。企鹅一句话也不说，却总是跟着他，如影相随。小男孩以为自己读懂了企鹅的沉默，他想，企鹅一定是迷路了，于是男孩希望帮助企鹅找到回家的路。小男孩找了很久，问了很多，做了很多，终于知道企鹅的家在遥远的南极。小男孩决定亲自把企鹅送回家。他又想了很多，做了很多，在海上漂泊了很久，战胜了风，战胜了浪，战胜了遥远，也战胜了孤独，因为企鹅始终和他在一起。最后,终于成功地把企鹅送回了南极。
叙述到这里，故事已经完整，在左寻右找中我们体会到小男孩的责任感，张牙舞爪的海浪衬托出他的勇气，万里迢迢的征途见证了他的坚持。然而，作者并没有满足于这个完璧归赵的结局，也就是说作者并不满足于讲述一个完整的故事或者塑造一个完美的形象，作者的理想是需要通过这个故事来传达自己更深的思考。
茫茫大海上，离开企鹅的小男孩独自划着小船，突然，他终于真正读懂了企鹅的沉默。小男孩掉转船头，划向南极去寻找企鹅。这时思念小男孩的企鹅也勇敢地出发了，它要去寻找男孩。两个读懂了彼此的朋友再次出发了……此时，我们也读懂了奥利弗杰弗斯想说的话，企鹅真正的家不是南极，而是在一个无话不谈的地方，一个风雨无阻的地方，一个忠实坚守的地方，在它心灵所在的地方。一个朋友，可能是一个最好的精神归宿。
有时候，我们需要具备足够的智慧来认识到生命中最重要的那个人不是远在天边；我也需要具备足够的勇气来轻轻告诉生命中最重要的那个人：你在哪里，家就在哪里。

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.
