| I Can Read: Harper Collins 出版的分级读物，每本书 32-64 页不等，比较长的书包含不只一个故事。在有趣的故事吸引孩子读下去，从中通过大量的重复达到熟练掌握的目的。这套书和其他分级读物的一个主要区别是，文字以及插图作者大多为有名的儿童作家及画家，因此虽为分级读物但故事性、图画均水平很高，很多还出版了带有 CD 的版本，广受好评。其中的Frog and Toad, Little Bear, Amelia Bedelia 更是大名在外。这套书是美国很多小学的阅读教材，包括回国后的外教班，就是在鲜花博客中的博文《美国老师如何引导孩子读绘本》中提到的那个专为小海归办的、和美国孩子同步学习的外教班，也选用了这套书中一些作为阅读教材。 |
Overview / 简介: |
| In this I Can Read sequel to Lulu and the Witch Baby, Lulu is off to witch school with her broom and Dracula lunch box. Her teacher, Miss Slime, is pretty, with a long nose and wart on her chin. She teaches everyone to fly around in the graveyard, and Lulu proves herself worthy of the name "witch." Sandy Witch, howevera kid with an unholier-than-thou attitudeproves worthier than Lulu. The two harbor intense dislike for one another, but become friends when they both catch the lizard pox. This story is funny and full of the "gross" details kids lovelike having snake flakes for breakfast and eating lizard tarts. McCully's simple, freehand illustrations, washed in watercolors, add a good dose of silliness to an already absurd and fun idea. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 1-2 Arriving at school on her very first day, Lulu Witch meets her teach er, who ``had a long nose and a wart on her chin. Lulu thought Miss Slime was very pretty.'' This type of skewed perception should amuse beginning read ers. Lulu's apprehension about starting school and her initiation into the com plex social dynamics of a classroom are described concisely and convincingly. Lulu feels both envy and adulation to wards her perfect classmate, Sandy Witch. Sandy's hostility towards Lulu may be provoked by similar feelings on Sandy's part: when Miss Slime admires Lulu's new dress, Sandy casts a spell on it, changing the pretty spiders to hid eous flowers. It takes ``lizard pox'' and a new independent spirit on Lulu's part to bring the two witches together at the end. McCully's watercolor wash and pencil illustrations add considerable charm and interest to this well-written story. Character is revealed with minimal detail (as when Lulu's anxiety and Sandy's smugness is shown in their first scene together). The humor wears a bit thin, but on the whole, Lulu. . . is a pleasant and appropriate choice for be ginning readers. Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, Ill. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is the first book that my 9-year-old, mildly dyslexic daughter read all the way through without stopping. She was captivated by the problems Lulu Witch faces in starting school and making peace with difficult peers in school. "Why aren't there more Lulu books, Mama?" |
