Winnie's Wonderland

偶然看到一篇報導，說兒童在睡覺前的學習力很好，所吸收知識經過一夜好眠可深印大腦，從賓賓約一歲有上床前念故事給他聽的習慣，隨著他長大求知慾越來越強，一次總要翻看好幾本書，有時偷懶想放故事CD含混過去，聽完他還是要我念故事書，不管那天幾點上床，賓賓都會堅持上床睡覺前聽故事再講故事，他才肯乖乖就寢。

賓賓翻看的床邊故事中英文夾雜，在圖書館借到好幾本深受小朋友喜愛的Eric Carle繪本，賓賓非常非常愛，可以學簡單英文句子，又能認識不同動物，所以，每天都要反覆聽和翻看好幾遍。記得Ally媽也介紹過Ally很愛Eric Carle繪本，借回來時不確定賓賓是否喜歡，Eric Carle畫風鮮豔美麗，賓賓每天都要複習一遍，看來我的想法是多慮了。

From Head to Toe

透過不同動物介紹從頭到腳的部位，例如企鵝轉頭、水牛聳肩、猴子揮動手臂…，賓賓唸出動物名稱後，再跟著書中動物做動作。
PreS. Animals and multiethnic children illustrate various body movements on large, double-page spreads. A giraffe bends its neck, a monkey waves its arms, etc. The repetitive text has the animal stating the movement and asking, "Can you do it?" Each child responds, "I can do it!"

The Very Busy Spider

這是一隻忙著織網的蜘蛛，很多動物跑來問要不要一起玩，但總是忙著沒回答。賓賓一樣會如數家珍的動物點點名，並模仿各種動物的叫聲。
This colorful picture book describes a spider's day. Blown onto a farmyard fence, she starts to spin a web. The other animals ask if she wants to play, but in every case "the spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web." The book is touchable: elements including the strands of web are embossed on the pages and you can follow them with your fingertips.

The Mixed-UP Chameleon


變色龍覺得生活好無聊，當它逛到動物園時，許願想要像北極熊一樣英俊、狐狸一樣聰明、海狗一樣幽默、長頸鹿一樣可以看很遠，可是，它混和各種元素，卻發現當自己填飽肚子是最棒的一件事！
Except for catching flies and changing colors occasionally, this chameleon doesn't find life very exciting. When a surprise visit to the zoo makes this wistful lizard realize it can change its shape and size as easily as its color, it ends up wanting to be like all the animals in the zoo at once--with hilarious results.
