本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛1. Hush Little Baby. Marla Frazee
2. Mama, Do you love me? Barbara Lavalle
这两本都是讲述妈妈对孩子的爱没有条件永不止息，绘画非常好，诗也优美。Barbara Lavalle是个很有名的画家，她的其他诗画集也非常好，但更适合五到十岁孩子。
3. The sleepy book Charlotte Zolotow, Stefano Vitale 故事非常简单，但绘画太棒了。
4. The three questions Jon J. Muth, Leo Tolstoy。这是最近的新书，根据托尔斯泰的故事改编，文字与绘画都绝对一流，但寓意我个人认为四岁以下孩子很难理解。
5. Seven blind mice. Ed Young。绘画独特。
6. Window Jeannie Baker
7. Rain. Peter Spier
这两本书一个字都没有，所有意思都靠绘画传达，相当好，尤其是Rain，把意境完全表达出来了。
8. Five Little Monkeys series Eileen Christelow
有四本，是幽默故事。
9. If you give a mouse a cookie Numeroff
她有一系列类似的书，都不错，但看多了就嫌重复。
10. The velveteen rabbit. Bianco and Felix.
小孩与他的玩具的故事，是英文儿童文学的经典之一。
11. Twinkle twinkle little star. Sylvia Lang这位女作者画过不少书，非常有创意。
12. The very hungry caterpillar; the very lonely firefly; the very quiet cricket. Eric Carle.
13. The 20th century children's book treasury, Janet Schulman那25本书和100本书名单上的不少作品都收在这里 (比如Good night, moon; Guess how much I love you; Where the wild things are; Chicka chicka boom boom; Good night, gorilla; Madeline; The boy, the dog and the frog; Harry the dirty dog)
14. Beatrix Potter。英国儿童作家，图文俱佳。
15. Harold and the purple crayon. Crockett Johnson
16. Sandra Boynton儿童诗写得很好。
17. Pat the bunny. Dorothy Kunhardt。给几个月孩子玩的书。
18. Shel Silverstein.儿童诗写得很好。

另外，有些书是专门介绍儿童读物的、帮助家长选书的，我比较喜欢的是：
Valerie and Walter's Best Book for Children
The New York Times Parent's Guide to the Best Books for Children

这两本书都列有比较著名的儿童书，收集的范围相当广，并有每一本书的大致内容、适合什么年龄什么阅读水平的孩子。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

孩子到这里好几年了，读过一些书。但不知读的是不是“精品”。应此想请过来人指点一下。当然也不是指的那种古典的书籍－－如国内的那些大布头的名著，就是简写本，内容太老，估计孩子读起来也没兴趣。希望HOLLY的清单对全部家长有益。

去年曾和一个刚上了多大的孩子交流过， 他8岁到加拿大。他号称自己曾读过500本各种英文小说，对他的学习帮助非常大，英文成绩全校前3，超过本地孩子。想想我们在家里讲中文，看中文的，虽然比本地孩子多了个中文能力，但英文如不努力，显然就落后了。

我孩子上3－6年级时，当时有个书商的推销清单，每月发到学校的每个学生，孩子每次拿回来，我都大力支持，从中间选出“销量第一”之类，再贵也要出资给孩子卖上几本。同时也会到图书馆解点。孩子7年级后，这清单级没了，没法，再卖，就是瞎买了，买回来，孩子说难，没意思，就浪费了。到图书馆，孩子也是瞎拿回几本翻翻。因此清单非常重要啊！

真的希望各位家长大力交流一下！

再次谢谢holly
