崽子过了两岁以后就开始了十万个为什么，小嘴巴一刻不得闲，说的问的都是常识，而我也特别愿意陪着他嘚吧嘚嘚吧嘚说个不停。听他嫩嫩的童声奶声奶气地陪妈妈聊天就是这个年龄段的限定福利，一定一定要珍惜。
本周小鹿给大家选的绘本就是这种看似无聊，废话连篇，实则特别温馨的故事。Does a Kangaroo have a mother too出自大神Eric Carle之手，剪贴画的画风与他A Very Hungry Caterpillar、 From Head to Toe等作品一致，极具个人风格。很容易就在娃那里刷到了好感。绘本的文字部分简单重复一个一般疑问句Does...have a mother, too？在享受音韵的乐趣同时润物无声地让娃牢记这个句型，熟悉第三人称单数在英语中的应用。同时也顺带复习到好几种动物的名称，一举多得。最重要的是，绘本的内容与母爱有关，每个小动物都有自己的妈妈，每个小动物都在妈妈的身边玩耍成长，讲绘本时我和娃之间仿佛笼罩着母爱的圣光，一时间母慈子孝，平时调皮捣蛋的娃看起来都更可爱了点。
话不多说，进入正题吧。

这本书的精髓就是爱啊，整本书都在铺垫着母子间浓浓的亲情，书的最后最后，终于把那句我爱你说出来了。你爱你的宝宝吗？当然爱。你会经常把爱他挂在嘴边，让他知道你的爱吗？这个问题的答案就不一定这么统一了。东方的含蓄让我们即使想念，也只会说一句今晚的夜色很美，可是宝宝们确实需要并享受着我们无时不刻的表白。
可是总说爱会变成对孩子的溺爱吗？我认为不会。对孩子的爱并不影响家长对他们行为准则上的要求，相反，家长态度和要求的始终如一才是孩子安全感的来源。
合上书，好好享受和宝宝双箭头的爱吧。
