今天赏析的绘本是这本《the Itsy Bitsy Spider》,这本是一首备受传唱的童谣,延伸而成一个奋发向上的故事。

Climbed up the spout again.

The itsy bitsy spider

She spun a silky web
Right at the very top.

And when her web was done,

The itsy bitsy spider
Rested in the sun.

特别具象的一个童谣绘本,可以引导小朋友去关注身边的小生物活动,把现实中蜘蛛的形象描绘得可爱又励志。
每一个场景之前,我都会问一下宝贝:“where is the spider?”前面几个场景他还是一脸懵,需要我说出中文才能指出来,到最后一个场景,我再这样问的时候,他就自己会去指小蜘蛛了。而且我唱过两遍,他就开始跟着我唱,不过很快他太困,睡着了。我想,再放慢点节奏,等等他,一定会收获到惊喜。
