绘本：《Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother，Too？》
by Eric Carle
HarperCollins
这是Eric Carle的经典绘本，“Does a kangaroo have a mother，too？Yes！A kangaroo has a mother.Just like me and you.那小狮子、小企鹅、小海豚呢？这位全球知名度较高的幼儿绘本作家，一贯鲜艳的彩图，轻松学习的重复句型，让阅读变成充 满趣味的亲子游戏。绘本末页亦附上各种动物的家族称呼列表，例如：小羊－lamb； 羊妈妈－ewe；羊爸爸－ram；一群羊－a flock。这绘本能让小朋友从中知道人类和动物在外观上也许不同，但母爱表现却是一样伟大的。
此绘本是我在英文绘本讲师培训班个人考核的绘本。但在个人考核中，我表现得并不算好。按我自己当时的理解，这本绘本描述了一位大人耐心地回答一个孩子好奇的问题，动物们是都有妈妈的。所以在绘本演绎的设计中就缺少了与小朋友的互动。
在哪里跌倒就从哪里爬起来，所以我选了这本绘本在打卡实践作为第一个给小朋友讲的英文绘本。实践时吸取经验，改进老师说的注意事项，多跟小朋友互动。
在课堂上看到芳芳老师整个故事会的演绎，我作为一个成人都好喜欢、好享受，何况是小朋友呢。我的绘本演绎能力还在磨练中，所以还是从模仿开始吧！我准备了扩音器、绘本围裙、暖场歌曲、互动小道具。这些准备会让我有绘本阅读的仪式感。
在绘本演绎中，由于大部分听众小朋友有一定的英语基础，所以小朋友都能用英语回答看到的是什么动物，描述动物特征，也能很踊跃地举手回答“Yes！”的那个句型，或者跟我慢慢地复述句子。
绘本讲述完毕，我请了年龄最大的小姐姐来当小助手，让小朋友们听着JY音频来玩配对游戏，帮助动物宝宝们找到他们的妈妈。小朋友们好开心，结束后要求再玩多一次。
自家的娃好喜欢跟小伙伴们一起听故事和互动，回家后会不由自主地哼绘本的歌曲。看到娃这样，就觉得做的这一切都值了，也促使我更好地为以后地每一次实践做好准备。
加油吧！为自己打气！
以下是绘本的英文简介：
Do animals have mothers, too? Of course they do - just like me and you!
Meet the little joey, whose kangaroo mother carries him in her pouch. See the cygnet riding on the back of the mother swan. Eric Carle′s colourful collages of animal babies with their caring and affectionate mothers offer small readers visual delight as well as comforting reassurance.
The playful question-and-answer text invites children and adults to read aloud together. Repetition of key phrases helps preschoolers take the first step toward reading readiness. And the game-like format makes it easy and fun to discover more about the world of nature and to learn the common names of some familiar - and some not so familiar - animals. A bonus page at the back of the book lists the correct but sometimes surprising names of animal babies, their parents, and groups.
Eric Carle is the creator of many beloved picture books for very small children. Here he offers a beautiful way for parents and children to share the knowledge that love crosses all boundaries and ties all creatures on this earth together.
