[size=medium]愛問東問西的賽門 吉爾．狄伯先生

(有一個對什麼事都很好奇的小兒子，尤其是對大自然的種種變化特別好奇，但是作者並沒有因為孩子一天到晚問東問西而感到厭煩，反而因此創作出好故事中的主人翁--就是他的小兒子、Simon賽門是兒子的名字、Marlene瑪蓮則是女兒的名字。)

波隆那插畫展入選、克利斯帝先生圖書獎、日本貓頭鷹獎、法國國際兒童中心八角獎、加拿大總督文學獎、加拿大童書中心年度選書、加拿大國家圖書館收藏原圖與原稿


賽門數雪花：
這是一本很有趣的圖畫書，藉由好玩的故事，無形中教導小朋友數的概念。同時也是與大自然有關的圖畫書，書中的季節背景是冬天，圖畫書中的雪花、雪人和雪景，總是讓小朋友高興莫名。

賽門乘秋風：
秋天的景色跟春天、夏天和冬天有什麼不同，它有什麼特色呢?請翻開圖畫書裡的一張張美麗的圖畫，讓小朋友仔細觀察，然後一一說出來。曾經有一個教育專家說過：要培養一個人美學的素養，須從小讓他看美麗的圖畫，提升其審美的眼光。

賽門找春天：
找尋春天、學到智慧。賽門看到冬天過去了，迫不急待出來找尋春天，看見花園裡的小苖長得小小的，就用許多氣球綁住小苖，希望藉著氣球向上升的力量，把小苖往上拉...；賽門讓小朋友知道，有些事需要耐心等待的，最後一定有好結果。

想留住太陽的賽門：
看美麗圖畫，說精采故事。賽門喜歡夏天，因此想辦法留住太陽。他學青蛙叫想留住太陽，卻把青蛙全部嚇跑了；他用紙張做好多朵花，想留住蝴蝶進而留住夏天，可是蝴蝶不喜歡假花都不來了...雖然夏天還是走了，不過賽門卻有了許多美麗的回憶。

賽門玩紙箱：
奇妙的想像力。賽門用紙箱做各種東西，想要給動物或住或玩，可是讓賽門覺得很失望，動物都不領情，個個逃得遠遠的。原來動物不喜歡住在紙箱裡，也不喜歡坐紙箱火車玩，後來賽門不再勉強動物...。在此，小朋友和賽門都學到寶貴的一堂課，就是不要強迫動物，讓他們自由自在，才是愛護動物的最好方法。

賽門找月亮：
藉由歡察認識大自然。賽門看見天上的月亮每天少一塊，心裡可急了，想把它們找回來，他拿網子到湖裡想去撈水裡的月亮，或是張著毯子在月空下等著掉下來的月亮..雖然月亮最後消失不見了，但他沒有灰心，還請小丑寫信告訴月亮早點回來..。家長可帶領小朋友實際的觀察月亮及教小朋友畫晚上的天空相信孩子會學得很棒、很開心。

賽門和紅羽毛：
培養觀察力與愛心。賽門撿到一根紅羽毛，他決定找出是哪一隻鳥兒丟掉紅羽毛，好物歸原主。他問過母雞、孔雀、老鷹、海鷗和鸚鵡，但牠們都說不是，還拿出自己的羽毛讓他自己比一比。藉由比較羽毛讓小朋友知道鳥類的羽毛形狀、顏色、大小各不相同，藉此培養孩子敏銳的觀察力，學著比較不同的東西，同時教導小朋友愛護動物。

賽門的音樂會：
讓音樂充滿孩子的生活。在書中賽門不但會演奏各種樂器，同時也聽到許多動物的叫聲，有小鳥的嗶嗶聲，綿羊的咩咩聲，公雞的嘓嘓聲，乳牛的哞哞聲，這是大自然的聲音，多麼美妙!此外，還有風聲、雨聲和雷聲，多麼雄壯啊!

賽門尋寶：
找到珍貴的寶藏。每種動物都有寶藏，例如蝴蝶有花朵的蜜汁，松鼠有核桃，賽門也要去尋找屬於自己的寶藏。他來到一個山洞卻碰到白色精靈，嚇得拼命逃，結果迷路了..後來他的朋友都來找他，賽門開心的說：「我知道我的寶藏是什麼了」小朋友可以猜得出來嗎?對了，就是朋友。這是一本讓小朋友可抽絲剝繭，循著故事線索去找尋答案的有趣圖畫書。

賽門偽裝：
好玩的魔術遊戲。賽門很喜歡偽裝了，他扮成魔術師，把動物都變成兔子，到處亂跳。他扮成騎士，騎著烏龜往前進。他還把所有動物都變成了丑，可是動物都不開心。賽門這才發現，扮演不一定都是好玩，如果是用來戲弄動物，更是惹得大家都不開心。最後，他不再戲弄了，而是邀請大家一起來玩變裝的遊戲，個個都很開心。

[size=medium]I Love You Stinky Face



Click here for inside pages of I love you stinky face

A child tucked into bed delays going to sleep, needing reassurance of her mother's love. The youngster asks, "Would you still love me....if I were a big scary ape?" or "a super smelly skunk" or "a terrible meat-eating dinosaur," and the list continues. No matter what horrible creature is imagined, Mama says she will always love and care for her child. Warm pastel drawings sweetly illustrate the story; the imaginary creatures are appealing rather than frightening.

[size=medium]I Miss You Stinky Face



Click here for inside pages of I miss you stinky face

In this companion to I Love You, Stinky Face (BridgeWater, 1997), a little boy has some new queries for his mother. Speaking to her by telephone, he wonders when she is coming home and asks a series of questions starting with "...what if the airplane forgets how to fly?" His mother responds to each worry with a Runaway Bunny-like solution, pledging to "...hop in the basket of a hot-air balloon," "...find the speediest shark in the ocean," or "...hitch a ride on...[a] supersonic spaceship..."-all in an effort to get back to her son. Moore's detailed, full-color drawings include such exotic locales as a lush jungle, a medieval castle, and the gangplank of a pirate ship. The amusing illustrations in muted, dreamy shades spill out over the pages, reflecting the free associations of the text. Although the formula is familiar, the message is reassuring and could be used to prepare children for times when a parent is away from home.

PS. Those books are good for us as a working mum la.
