The bay owls came out of their house, and they sat on the tree and waited. A big branch for Sarah, a small branch for Percy, and an old piece of ivy for Bill. When three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, they can't help but wonder where she is. Stunning illustrations from unique and striking perspectives capture the owls as they worry about their mother: What is she doing? When will she be back? What scary things move all around them? Not surprisingly, a joyous flapping and dancing and bouncing greets her return, lending a celebratory tone to the ending of this comforting tale. Never has the plight of young ones who miss their mother been so simply told or so beautifully rendered.

A young girl from Brooklyn, New York enjoys her summer at the beach where she can paint and listen to the wild waves.

花园里有一棵豌豆树，所有的小豆豆长得都一样，除了一颗。它跳出豆荚，遇见了孔雀，希望有它漂亮的尾巴；遇见了老虎，希望有它的强壮和好看的虎斑；遇见了大象，希望有它的威风。聪明的它真的做到了……当它回到豌豆的队伍中，大家都笑话它。虽然它不一样了，可是还是和大家一样，钻进洞里，发芽，成长。最后，花园里出现了一棵从来没人见过的豌豆树，上面所有的小豆豆都不一样，而且，它们对自己都很满意。

《常青藤绘本:晚安,月亮(英汉对照纪念版)》一直以来都是畅销不衰的儿童读物。《常青藤绘本:晚安,月亮(英汉对照纪念版)》讲了一个比《逃家小兔》还要简单的故事：一只小兔子晚上要睡觉了，它跟房间里的一切东西告别，祝它们“晚安”，其中包括月亮。在读这个故事的时候，没有人会笑话小兔子“傻里傻气”，居然跟画上的母牛，桌上的梳子告别，你只会被天真的童心感动，与小兔子一起在一声又一声的“晚安”中，渐渐平复你的心，沉淀你的感情。世界原本就是这么单纯，是我们自己的心乱了，浮躁了，才不会相信月亮也会晚安。

“大灰狼、大灰狼”，人们都习惯这样叫，可见狼一般都是灰色的，当一只绿色的小狼出现在一群小灰狼中时，你猜会发生什么情况？ 被嘲笑？被驱逐？被咬噬？被排挤？……什么情况都可能发生，在《小绿狼》这本图画书中的那只绿狼，遭遇的还算是最轻的一种——被嘲笑。 嘲笑虽无关性命，却涉及自信。在伙伴们的起哄声中，小绿狼发誓要改变自己：他先是穿上灰色的衣服，却不小心露出了绿色的尾巴；再是抹上灰色的柴灰，却被大雨浇回了“真面目”；然后又涂上灰色的油漆，却被太阳晒得够戗。 懂得魔法的小仙女也不能帮助小绿狼。在接连把他变成金鱼和小鸟后，小绿狼还是决定做本来的自己——就像他最后宣称的一样：“是的，我就是一只绿色的狼，不过，那又怎么样呢？”这是多么重要的宣称！表明　　小绿狼已经认同自己、接纳自己、肯定自己。 这本图画书是一个关于认识自我的寓言。每个人都是独特的个体，不管是在身体上还是思想上。他虽然要遵守一定的社会行为准则，但并不妨碍他拥有独立的思考和行为。 心理学研究表明，人的一生会不停地面临角色定位的问题。一些人终其一生，仍然无法找到真正的自我，只有借助药物和酒精逃避现实，或者在偶像崇拜中映射出自我。很多人在成年后患有厌弃自己、交际障碍或过度以自我为中心等心理疾病，大都是由于角色定位这个问题没有解决好。 认识自我、接纳自我，看上去容易，实则很困难，因为每个人都会从其他人的反应中来定位自己。你的长相、性格、语言等方面和其他人不一样，就很容易产生自卑心理。自信当然重要，但有时又是自负的同义词；相信自己，又能听取别人的意见，其实也是认识自我的重要方面。“认识你自己！”这是古希腊阿波罗神庙上刻着的永恒隽语。这本图画书用童话向孩子传达“我的特征即我”的观念，显得巧妙而不着痕迹。我相信，这个故事会像一粒种子，悄悄地播种在孩子的心田里，生根发芽直至根深叶茂。 这本书其实还可以从另一个角度来读。那些嘲笑绿狼的灰狼们，你们为什么就认定狼只有灰色的呢？你们为什么就不能接纳一个和你们颜色不同的伙伴呢？ 反观人类自身，是否就比那些灰狼更清醒呢？人类的多少悲剧，就是因以“我族”为中心，无法接纳其他人（族类）而产生的。布鲁诺身上的熊熊烈火，两次残酷的世界大战，卢旺达的种族大屠杀，都与此有重要关系。 在遭遇生命中的黑暗时，认识自我是黑暗中的一盏灯；在遭遇社会的黑暗时，集体宽容是黑暗中的一盏灯。这样的灯亮多了，人类的个体和群体就有了更大的希望。 书摘与插图

这是一段寻找爱的旅程。 故事从封面已经开始，小熊孤苦伶仃的眼神让人爱怜，想要爱而不得的表情让人同情。而翻开扉页，又是热烈的橘黄色和橘红色搭配，暗示出小熊对爱的热烈渴望。 小熊吉米的妈妈在他还很小的时候就去世了，爸爸在留给他一顶帽子后，也离家远走。成为孤儿的吉米，戴上爸爸的帽子，开始寻找爱。 作者在故事的开头只是简单描述了吉米的遭遇，但简洁的文字却精准地刻画出吉米的心情，“他忽然觉得心里空空的，仿佛破了一个大洞”，那种失落、寂寥、空空荡荡，只有身处当中的人才能体会。读者如果有失去亲人的经历，相信会被这句话拨动心弦。 吉米为老土拨鼠吓走了老鹰后，就和土拨鼠——小奶奶相依为命。小奶奶为他烹调食物、扇风、洗脚、说故事，让吉米体会到了爱的阳光。所以，当小奶奶死的时候，吉米难过得什么也吃不下。

A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared for one particular a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep. In each of his amazing picture books, David Wiesner has revealed the magical possibilities of some ordinary thing or happening--a frog on a lily pad, a trip to the Empire State Building, a well-known nursery tale. This time, a day at the beach is the springboard into a wildly imaginative exploration of the mysteries of the deep, and of the qualities that enable us to witness these wonders and delight in them.

All the world is here. It is there. It is everywhere. All the world is right where you are. Now. Following a circle of family and friends through the course of a day from morning till night, this book affirms the importance of all things great and small in our world, from the tiniest shell on the beach, to warm family connections, to the widest sunset sky

Both art and song invite children to join in the procession and sing along.

What would you say about eye-brows? Miss Krauss and the many children who made suggestions, re-visions, additions (and subtractions) to this book say, "Eyebrows are to go over eyes." A face? "A face is something to have on the front of your head." Also, "a face is so you can make faces." Hands? Well, hands are to hold. And also "a hand is to hold up when you want your turn." "A party is to say how-do-you-do and shake hands" and also "a party is to make little children happy." Of course, a brother is to help you, a package is to look inside, arms are to hug with, and a book is to look at.And children will take this book of words and pictures to their hearts.

With humorous rhymes, six lovable animals help Lloyd the llama discover what kind of animal his mama is.

A young boy named Mickey sleeps in his bed when he is disturbed by noise on a lower floor. Suddenly, he begins to float, and loses all of his clothes as he drifts into a surreal world called the "Night Kitchen". He falls naked into a giant mixing pot that contains the batter for the "morning cake". While Mickey is buried in the mass, three identical bakers (who closely resemble Oliver Hardy) mix the batter and prepare it for baking, unaware (or unconcerned) that there is a little boy inside. Just before the baking pan is placed into the oven, the boy emerges from the pan, protesting that he is not the batter's milk. To make up for the baking ingredient deficiency, Mickey (now covered in batter from the neck down) constructs an airplane out of bread dough so he can use the measuring cup as a hat and fly to the mouth of a gigantic milk bottle. Upon reaching the bottle's opening, he dives in and briefly revels in the liquid. After his covering of batter disintegrates, making him naked again, he pours the needed milk in a cascade down to the bakers who joyfully finish making their morning cake. With dawn breaking, the naked Mickey crows like a rooster and slides down the side of the bottle, back into his bed, where he is magically clothed again, "cake free and dried".

A playful peek into the homes of dinosaur babies and their parents at bedtime. 'How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about?' Most certainly not! Dinosaurs give their mums and dads big hugs and kisses, tuck their tails in and whisper, 'Good night!' Brimming with humour and familiar good-night antics, here is a playful peek into the homes of dinosaur children and their parents at bedtime. Mark Teague uses a variety of perspectives in his dramatic, full-page pictures of tyrannosaurus rexes, triceratopses, and pteranodons

What a night! The moon is full. Kitten is hungry and inquisitive and brave and fast and persistent and unlucky . . . then lucky! What a night! </p>
