Chicken Soup With Rice《鸡汤米饭》文本是一首爵士小调，在诗歌韵文中自然可以记住十二个月份。作者非常巧妙的围绕“鸡汤米饭”，为每个月都编写了一个好玩的场景，朗朗上口，是学习自然拼读超棒的素材~这是上次我为大家推荐的《坚果壳四本套》其中一本，美国殿堂级童书作家Maurice Sendak的代表作之一。

Sipping once, sipping twice
Sipping chicken soup with rice

Mix it once, mix it twice
Mix that chicken soup with rice

For eating chicken soup with rice

桑达克始终觉得自己的作品不够好，因此常常向文学大师如keats, blake, melville和dickinson寻求灵感源泉。
“我永远不能和大师们并驾齐驱。但是，我仍期许自己能带给别人些什么，也许就像blake和keats那样，激发了我内在的热情。”
