The language is hard to begin with but the hero is one of the most endearing in literature.

And where her doting "other mother" has buttons for eyes… Carrie's War, by Nina Bawden Carrie and her brother are wartime evacuees billeted on a bullying Welsh grocer. A wonderfully crafted novel full of memorable characters.

'If children are to become readers for life, they must first love stories'。 这一百本书包括从儿童期到十几岁的少年所读的书。 先说儿童时期,大概应该列为5到6岁以下。 Part 1: Early years The Twits, by Roald Dahl Mr and Mrs Twit pass the time playing nasty tricks on one another. They're both horrid. In his hairy beard, Mr Twit "was always able to find a tasty morsel to nibble on". Burglar Bill, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg "I'll 'ave that," is the catchphrase of the rogue who stars in this engaging and beautifully illustrated tale. When Bill accidentally burglarises a baby, it turns out to be a blessing in a stolen basket. "Runfrit, Boglaboll!" The Tiger Who Came To Tea, by Judith Kerr Newsnight's Emily Maitlis has a theory that this book is an allegory about sex. Most children understand it as the story of a tiger that eats its hosts out of house and home. Debate continues. Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak When Max engages in mischief, he is sent to bed without his supper. That's just the start. Sendak's paintings sing, and the text is a joy. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, by Beatrix Potter Tom Kitten learnt nothing from his parents about the consequences of curiosity. Abducted by a psychotic rat, he comes within a whisker of being turned into a pudding. Nightmares guaranteed. Yertle the Turtle, by Dr Seuss Theodor Geisel's response to Hitler was more oblique than Stauffenberg's, but as effective. Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. Someone's riding for a fall. Dr Seuss 写了很多故事书,从重复谐音长短句到完整的长故事,滑稽夸大的形象,深得小朋友的喜爱。入选的儿童读物里他就有两个。其实他远不止。 Fungus the Bogeyman, by Raymond Briggs What boy won't thrill to the world of the Bogeymen, all snot, armpits and boils? This gave Raymond Briggs's green crayon the workout of its life. The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business, by Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch Someone's dropping lands on poor mole's head. Who's the culprit? A farmyard investigation is conducted with Germanic seriousness. Mole's revenge is sweet. Room on the Broom, by Julia Donaldson Punchier than The Gruffalo, this has children chanting along as a witch and her animal friends see off a dragon in search of "witch and chips". The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle "In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf…" so begins this classic board book, its pages drilled with holes as the caterpillar eats his way through the week. 幼儿园必备。 The Cat in the Hat, by Dr Seuss "Look at me! Look at me! Look at me now!" The cat's a big show-off, but he knows how to have fun, and his chaotic antics delight. Charlotte's Web, by EB White White's 1952 masterpiece describes the friendship between a lonely pig and a talented spider. This poignant tale teaches lessons about love, death and differing life expectancies. 这一本大概在国内流传最广,就是很多人都不陌生的《夏洛的网》。 The Story of Babar, by Jean de Brunhoff When Babar sees his mother shot he reacts as any modern child might: a few tears, then off on a shopping spree. Nice green suit, though. Winnie-the-Pooh, by AA Milne, illustrated by EH Shepard Visit Hundred Acre Wood, and meet Pooh, Piglet and Christopher Robin, based on AA Milne's son. This classic story hasn't aged, and EH Shepard's understated illustrations remain the best. 这个维尼小熊好像是铁手的最爱啊。
The Telegraph has listed the top 100 books every child should read. Here are the top five choices: The Twits – Roald Dahl Burglar Bill – Janet and Allan Ahlberg The Tiger Who Came to Tea – Judith Kerr Where the Wild Things Are – Maurice Sendak The Tale of Samuel Whiskers – Beatrix Potter 今天在网上看到: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/3670595/100-books-every-child-should-read-Pt-1.html 这个书单有很多我们从幼儿园里就开始看了。象什么 The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle ,The Cat in the Hat, by Dr Seuss 等等等等,还有很多改编成电影的。我觉得这个书单还是很可以借鉴一下,尤其是身居海外,家里有小朋友的人。即使是成人,读一些这些小朋友们的书,也是了解欧美文化的基础。因为这些小朋友们就是看着这些书,读着这些故事长大的。 这会没空。回头我再仔细把书单列出来。 已经在亲亲宝贝贴出来了。 http://www.aswetalk.org/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthreadtid=9897page=1#pid170078
