读读 | 家有挑食熊孩子，一块读读《I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Toma...

“和孩子一块读读吧”

《查理和罗拉》动画片好多小朋友都很熟悉了吧？这部动画片可是拿奖到手软，也是BBC最高收视儿童节目。不过，动画本身改编自获奖绘本，今天看的就是其中的一个好玩的绘本哦~

I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato《我绝对绝对不吃番茄》，曾荣获英国图画书最高荣誉格林纳威童书大奖。

这次爸爸妈妈给了查理一个任务──哄劳拉吃东西。劳拉非常地挑食，而且她绝对绝对不吃西红柿。查理想了个好办法：把她不爱吃的胡萝卜称作“木星来的橘树枝”，把马铃薯泥称作“富士山山顶的松软白云”……最后，挑食的劳拉望着查理哥哥手中一个红通通的东西直流口水，你猜，她现在最想吃什么？

先看动画视频吧~

   

关于作者

萝伦．柴尔德（Lauren Child）1967年生于英国。她曾在英国曼彻斯特工艺学校和伦敦艺术学院主修插画和复合媒体，但她说她在学校没有学到很多东西。离开学校之后，她花了六个月的时间去旅行，因为她拿不准接下去该从事什么职业。直到她开始童书创作，并创作了查理和罗拉这一让小朋友着迷的形象~

   

如何阅读

这一本非常有趣的图书，不仅小朋友看起来非常有意思，也教会了家长面对小朋友的叛逆期，需要多发挥自己的想象力和聪明才智才能更好的引导孩子。故事中的哥哥Charlie为了要让妹妹Lola乖乖吃晚饭可是费了很多心思，因为Lola列出了整整两页她不喜欢或是绝不吃的，不过这可没有难倒哥哥，每一道Lola不吃的食物在哥哥有趣的描述下，Lola都变得可以接受了。。。

图文搭配之下，可以通过反复强调，帮助小朋友认识和掌握许多基本衣物的单字，如：overcoat, jacket, vest, scarf…
