[img align=left]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/068981786X.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/img][size=small]Goldilocks And The Three Bears Ready To Readby Betty Miles, Bari Weissman (Illustrator)

Kindergarten-Grade 1-Two simplifications of well-known cautionary tales. Instead of just watering down the stories, however, the reteller whitewashes their entire purpose, eliminating the language and charm that young children love, to say nothing of the social values. Goldilocks has three bears of indeterminate relationship or size, even though the illustrations depict them as papa, mama, and child. The time-honored order of porridge, chairs, and then up to bed is also altered. The entire text is in dialogue, yet not a single quotation mark or "said" is included. Things just happen, and Goldilocks leaves none the wiser. The Three Little Pigs continues in a similar vein. There is a lot of huffing and puffing but no message about the rewards of a good work ethic. Instead, the wolf goes head first down the chimney, but lands tail first in the pot only to get up and leave with a good-bye. The watercolor cartoons in both titles are equally styleless. Beginning readers deserve better, and librarians should not be attracted to this bland series because of the familiarity of the titles.

Book Description

Uh-oh!
Someone sat in the Bears' chairs.
Someone ate the Bears' porridge.
What will the Bears find upstairs?

Reader comments:
This is the story of goldilocks & the three bears written very simply with repeated words & colorful drawings. My not yet 3 year old loves to count the chairs, birds & porridge bowls. He's learning the hard & soft, going up the stairs & such. I would think that this book would be a little dull for an older kid, although it's easy to read. But definitely a keeper for us right now.

Lovely!!

[img align=left]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/067089799X.01._PIdp-schmooS,TopRight,7,-26_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/img][size=small]Garden that We Grew, The (Easy-to-Read,Viking Children's)by Joan Holub

In this appealing addition to the series, children are making a garden. The whole process, from preparing the soil to creating things from their harvested pumpkins, is cheerfully and simply reported in verse, two or four lines on each double-page spread. The illustrations of the smiling, busy youngsters show that they're into the project with both their spirits and their bodies: into the dirt "all warm and brown," the water, the weeds, and finally the pumpkins-"Inside the pumpkins/is wet, orange goop./This is the way/we scoop, scoop, scoop, scoop!" with both spoons and hands. Beginning readers should enjoy the short, simple text, the enthusiasm of the children, and the fun they're having.

This rhyming story in the Viking Easy to Read series has clear, colorful illustrations that show children growing a garden, starting with seeds that they push way down into the warm, brown dirt. They water and weed, watch the plants flower and the pumpkins grow, and finally harvest the crop, bake cookies and pies, make Halloween masks, and save the seeds to grow next year. Holub's words are nearly all one syllable, and beginning readers will be drawn by the hands-on excitement as children make important things happen. There's also a lot to talk about with adults about how plants grow through the seasons.

Reading level: Ages 4-8

Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Viking Juvenile (August 27, 2001)
Language: English
ISBN: 067089799X

This book is a good book no matter who you are. This is a great book especially for children because you can tell what is going on just from the pictures, and this helps them understand unknown words better. It also helps the child understand that through work come rewards. This is a great book that you and your child will just want to read over and over again, and the illustrations are very fitting.

Where Are You Going? To See My Friend!
by Kazuo Iwamura, Eric Carle (Illustrator) 我係買中英雙語版的(台灣買的)

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-This lively and rhythmic, bilingual picture book is told in dialogue, with rebuslike symbols used to identify speakers. It details an energetic romp with a dog, cat, rooster, goat, rabbit, and a child, all of whom become friends. Carle's familiar collage technique is employed in the book's first half, while Iwamura's gentle watercolor illustrations, combined with the Japanese text, make up the second half. The two texts are divided by a gatefold that includes the music and lyrics to the song "Where Are You Going? To See My Friend!" in English and Japanese. An irresistible, spirited ode to friendship.
Andrea Tarr, Corona Public Library, CA
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. Starting at opposite ends of this bilingual collaboration, two popular children's book artists work toward the middle while telling the same tale in English and Japanese. A dog, off to meet a friend, invites a cat to come along, because "my friend is your friend." For the same reason, a rooster, a goat, and a rabbit end up tagging along; the "friend" turns out to be a child. Eventually, everyone meets to dance and sing across a central double-foldout spread. The text is brief and repetitive (speakers are identified by icons), and the Japanese text is transliterated, which allows monolingual American children to "read" along in either direction. Each artist illustrates his half in characteristic style; Iwamura's fetching, naturalistic paintings are softer looking and feature smaller characters than Carle's familiar painted-paper collages, but the artists' work merges without jarring contrast. The authors' remarks printed on the inside dust jacket will be lost to most children, but the tale's simple theme and unusual format make an inviting celebration of social and cross-cultural connections.

Comments:
A bilingual story. Very nice picture. Coz of two illustrator, two styles drawing could be seen.
Very nice!!

The comment from a Japanese reviewer:
The repetition of "Where are you going?" is great for teaching a grammar point and the kids love getting to read the Japanese after I read the English. It's also fun for learning the animal sounds in English/Japanese. Reading the roman-ized Japanese might not be that interesting for someone who doesn't know any Japanese but older kids can start to learn easy Japanese writing by looking at this book.

Very early readers, like these Level 1 books from the Green Light Readers series, have the challenge of turning a few words into a story that will pique children's interest. Both these offerings accomplish just that; the texts may be brief, but they will propel kids into reading. In Rick, Bunny Jack comes to play with Rick the bear, but Rick is in bed. Jack helps with a cup of tea and a bag of ice, and when it's time for a nap, they take one together. In Box, Todd and his mother are taking a walk. Mom tells Todd to stop picking up things, but he doesn't listen. At the end of the story, he gives her a box of the treasures that he collected. The pictures add to the books' appeal, and there are several other useful features, including activities such as making a friendship medal. Although the questions that follow the stories take some of the fun away, these are still bright choices for beginners.

Todd's mom is in a hurry, so she can't stop every time Todd sees something interesting. But Todd has a wonderful surprise for her--a box full of treasures that he's collected along the way.

by Eric Carle
Reading level: Baby-Preschool

Board book: 28 pages
Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap; Board edition (May 1, 1997)
Language: English
ISBN: 0399226842

A cricket is born who cannot talk! A bigger cricket welcomes him to the world, then a locust, a cicada, and many other insects, but each time the tiny cricket rubs his wings together in vain: no sound emerges. In the end, however, he meets another quiet cricket, and manages to find his "voice." Children will love the repetitive text as they meet a steady parade of new creatures (including a "spittlebug, slurping in a sea of froth"); and of course they'll delight in the happy ending. This is one of a series of large (11.5 by 8.5 inches) format Eric Carle books with a mechanical twist: in this case, the quiet cricket bursts into (surprisingly authentic) electronic song as you turn the last page. (The battery is replaceable.) An amusement for the ears, but most of all--as ever, with Carle--a feast for the eyes. The colorful cut-paper illustrations are simply gorgeous, drawing you in even on the hundredth reading. (And there will be a hundredth reading, followed by many more.) (Baby to preschool) --Richard Farr --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

A small cricket hatches "one warm day," and the other insects greet him. Though the little guy wants very much to respond, nothing happens when he rubs his wings together. Finally, as night falls, he spies another cricket and attempts to greet her. "And this time . . . he chirped the most beautiful sound that she had ever heard." As usual, Carle's art is lovely and his story is simple and satisfying. But this book has something The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Very Busy Spider didn't have: an electronic chirping mechanism activated by the turning of the last page. Though the surprisingly realistic noise may get on parents' nerves, it will certainly intrigue and entertain its intended audience. Ages 3-6.

For EC's fan. Found at idxx.

by Pamela Duncan Edwards, Henry Cole

· Reading level: Ages 4-8
· Hardcover: 32 pages
· Publisher: Hyperion; 1st ed edition (September 1, 2001)
· Language: English
· ISBN: 0786804696

The stars of Warthogs in the Kitchen team up again in Slop Goes the Soup: A Noisy Warthog Word Book by Pamela Duncan Edwards, illus. by Henry Cole. The author uses onomatopoeia to demonstrate how a simple sneeze sets off a messy chain of events for a pair of dinner-prepping warthogs. A note in the back explains onomatopoeia and challenges children to create their own noisy story. “onomatopoeia” = those words that sound like the sounds they are describing -à is such a difficult word here!!

The lovable, hapless creatures from Warthogs in the Kitchen: A Sloppy Counting Book (Hyperion, 1998) are cooking soup for their dinner party, with mishaps occurring from the very first sneeze to the one at the end, which will likely start trouble all over again. The onomatopoeic sounds will delight youngsters. Cole's pen, colored-pencil, and watercolor pictures complement so very well the chaos in the kitchen, even down to the detail of the little blue teddy bear that, once again, ends up in the dessert.

[img align=left]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0735813523.01._PIdp-schmooS,TopRight,7,-26_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/img][size=small]Milo and the Mysterious Island
by Marcus Pfister (Author), Marianne Martens (Translator)

Reading level: Ages 4-8

Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Nord-Sud Verlag (October 1, 2000)
Language: English
ISBN: 0735813523

Ages 5-8. Swiss-born Pfister first "dazzled" us with books such as Rainbow Fish (1992), with gold foil highlights over watercolor illustrations. This charming look at tribal mice, a sequel to Milo and the Magical Stones (1998), again makes use of the shine-and-sparkle technique. When Milo's restless spirit leads him to adventure, he and his cliff mice friends set sail for places unknown. With only their "magical stones" to comfort them, they endure to find a new island. At this point, the pages are split horizontally, offering children two completely separate endings: "The Happy Ending" and "The Sad Ending." The happy one finds the green mice sharing their luscious red berries, just as the cliff dwellers share the radiant light of their stones. The sad ending shows the cliff mice guarding their secrets and gobbling more berries than they should rightfully eat. Lessons learned in both scenarios make this a fine effort and a good addition to any library.

I love this book! I enjoyed the two different endings that are available. I always have to read both. This book is wonderful to help children talk about differences among people. In life we have two choices, we can embrace differences and learn from them or we can be fearful of differences. This book provides many opportunities for discussions with children on a very important topic, differences. Differences come in the form of disablities, languages, culture, and appearances. This story is fun to read with younger children and great for discussions with older children and even adults. This is a must read!

[img align=left]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1558586822.01._PIdp-schmooS,TopRight,7,-26_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/img][size=small]Milo and the Magical Stones
by Marcus Pfister, Marianne Martens (Translator)

Reading level: Ages 4-8

Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Nord-Sud Verlag (September 1, 1997)
Language: English
ISBN: 1558586822

Milo, a mouse who lives on a small mountain island, finds a glowing rock that provides both light and warmth on a cold winter night. Partway through the story, after a warning from wise Balthazar that if the mice take something from the island, they must return something, the book's pages are cut in half giving the story two different endings, one happy and one sad. These pages actually turn independently. While the two tales are well told, the first showing unselfish, caring mice, and the second the unfortunate consequences of greed, the contrivance makes the presentation heavy-handed, resulting in an offering that's more useful than entertaining. The watercolor illustrations are thoroughly engaging, and the golden rocks actually sparkle on the page. With his cocked ear and rotund figure, Milo is irresistible. It could well be that the lure of these island mice and the glamour of the golden rocks will be enough to entice readers over and over again.?

A happy bunch of cherubic cliff mice inhabit an idyllic island, where all is wonderful until winter forces the mice into dank, dark caves. One mouse, Milo, discovers a magical glowing stone (thereby allowing Pfister's other trademark--dazzling reflective elements--to take the stage) that provides heat. The other mice, understandably, would like stones for their caves. Balthazar, something of a sage, cautions that the stones belong to the island and something must be given in return for their use. The book's pages thus split in two: ``The Happy Ending'' appears on top, ``The Sad Ending'' below. The top story is predictable--each mouse fashions a decorative stone in gratitude. The bottom story takes a more compelling route, becoming a full-blown cautionary tale of the consequences of greed, envy, and environmental pillaging. In this duel of positive/negative examples, the negative clearly has more vigor and impact, and brings Pfister's message--about making wise ecological choices--home.

Beautifully illustrated and thought evoking story which allows young readers (and their parents/teachers/siblings) to see what an impact different choices make in lives both factual and fictional.
Milo and his mice friends on their very special island find a mysterious stone and then need to decide what next step to take. Pfister gives a choice for the reader: happy ending or sad ending. Very clever and both endings should be read so that children can understand how choices build upon choices both in writing, creativity and in real life.

Great book for adults as well and Grandparents may want to keep a copy on hand for when their grand children come visit.

This book so clearly shows students/children the effect the ending has on a story. It's great if you're teaching students or your own child how to write stories. Just reading it gives them perspective and, with each of their stories, they can write two different endings and choose the better one. This book is FANTASTIC! Get it!

The mysterious island book earns better readers' comments! But this one is as good. I bought both yesterday and added them into our favourite book treasure chest.

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書收穫

Bluestar,

Thanks for the smooches (拥吻)from your pig [Even my son won't give me a smooch. Note that SMOOCH is a word of the "onomatapoeia" type. ]

Instead my son did this last night (dialogue in Cantonese):

希: 妈妈，希希要訓覺啦！�(我係道大聲朗讀唐詩比佢聽。佢係房走出來講。)
我:啊，好呀！晚安啦。(佢返入房，我就繼續朗讀--->人肉CD機。)

唔夠5秒...佢又行出來:

希:妈妈，希希要訓覺啦！(好像想我做些什麼似的。之後又返回他的房)
我: 知道啦，晚安啦！...呀，你給我good night kiss吧！
希: OX OX OX (輕吻了我一下便自己入房去了。我繼續朗讀。)

一會兒.....他又再出來說:

希: 媽媽，再錫多少少! (小手做出少少這個動作！又再輕吻了我便自己入房去了)

又再過一陣....他又再出來說:

希: 媽媽，再錫多少少!(小手做出少少這個動作！又再輕吻了我。)

我:希希，媽媽愛你！

希希好滿足咁入房睡了。不再走出來了！

好sweet。

[size=medium]I Can Roll! (Lift the Flap) - by Alain Crozon

Upbeat, colorful concept books, each one illustrating 21 animate and inanimate objects that fly or roll on wheels. In both titles, a rhyming riddle on the verso is answered by lifting the flap on the right. Crozon uses creative examples of what can fly, such as a floating autumn leaf, a boomerang, dandelion seeds, and a superhero. Things with wheels include a caravan, a moon rover, a backhoe, a four-wheeler, and a chariot.

[size=medium]The Karaoke Piano Book

This interactive song book includes a microphone, an electronic play-along piano, and easy-to-follow lyrics on durable board pages. Also features colorful illustrations and 12 kid-friendly songs to sing and play, including:
- "She'll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain"
- "Oh! Susanna"
- "My Bonnie"
- And more....

I've just bought this book at KMK yesterday (@$125 after discount). My son just can't help playing the mini keyboard again and again after I brought it back home!! You may let the book auto-play the songs or just follow the muscical scales and notes printed inside to play the song by yourself. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun from this!!
