Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too?
Of course they do -- just like me and you! From baby kangaroos, called joeys, to baby elephants, called calfs, every kind of animal has a mother. Inside this playful and colorful book you will see all sorts of different babies with their mothers, all with one thing in common: Their mothers love them very, very much -- just like your mother loves you! Come right in and meet the family -- the animal family, that is -- in words and pictures by Eric Carle.
在《信谊·宝宝起步走:从头动到脚》中里,作者用独特的拼贴画,画出了大象会跺脚、大猩猩会捶胸、野牛会耸肩膀等十二种不同动物的“招牌动作”,并以“我会……,你会吗?”和“这个我会”的重复句型,邀请小小孩一起来转头、弯脖子、摆动胳臂,让孩子在玩乐中掌握一些重要的技能,比如认真倾听、集中注意力、听从指挥。通过《信谊·宝宝起步走:从头动到脚》,孩子们也学习到了各种身体部位及动作的说法,培养想象、发现与思考的能力。更重要的是,通过一次次地大声重复“你会吗?”“这个我会!”孩子能够建立起基本的自信心。而从这些简单的身体动作出发,孩子们得以在自信、愉悦的状态下,开始学习舞蹈、体操以及其他更复杂的运动技能。人類都有媽媽,那麼貓啊、狗啊、企鵝和長頸鹿也有媽媽嗎?這可能是每個小朋友曾經有過的疑問。翻開艾瑞.卡爾的硬頁小書《袋鼠也有媽媽嗎》,我們就會得到答案了:「動物都有媽媽嗎?當然有!就像我和你一樣!」
