【美国名家绘本】好饿的毛毛虫 孩子阅读不可错过的绘本！

　　

       绘本《好饿的毛毛虫》讲述了饥饿的小毛毛虫不断地进食，最终从幼虫蜕变成美丽的蝴蝶的故事。作者艾瑞克·卡尔手里爬出来的红脑壳、绿身子、高高地弓起来走路的毛毛虫，已经“吞噬”了世界上二千多万个孩子的心。 这是一本充满了诗情与创意的图画书。

　　这本书的设计很有特色：毛毛虫吃过的食物上都留有一个指头大小的洞，宝宝们可以用小手来抠着玩，顺便体会毛毛虫吃食物的感觉；另外在讲毛毛虫周一到周五的食物时，页面特意制作成了递进式的，周一那页只有一个苹果那么大；周二那页只有两个梨那么大……直到周五才是一张满幅的画，家长们利用这几页也可以训练孩子们的点数能力。语言上作者大量的使用了重复性的语言，非常适合1-3岁小宝宝们的阅读理解需要。

     On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone,one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop,one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. That night he had a stomachache.

      星期六，他啃穿了一块巧克力蛋糕，一个冰淇淋蛋筒，一条酸黄瓜，一片瑞士奶酪，一截萨拉米香肠，一根棒棒糖，一角樱桃馅饼，一段红肠，一只杯形蛋糕，还有一块甜西瓜。到了晚上，他就胃痛起来！

       The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better.  

       第二天，又是星期天。 毛毛虫啃穿了一片可爱的绿树叶，这一回他感觉好多了。

       Now he wasn’t hungry any more and he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more. He was a big, fat caterpillar.  

       He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks. Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and ------  




      现在他一点儿也不饿了——他也不再是一条小毛虫了。他是一条胖嘟嘟的大毛虫了。 他绕着自己的身子，造了一座叫做“茧”的小房子。他在那里面呆了两个多星期。 然后，他就在茧壳上啃出一个洞洞，钻了出来……





       He was a beautiful butterfly!

       他已经是一只美丽的蝴蝶了！
