話說這娃越大，隊伍就越不好帶了啊。就拿我們家來說，讀英文繪本主要靠老母親的套路。這套路孩子讀英文繪本，還是得投其所好。這不是，當崽子跟我說，媽媽你好久沒講交通工具繪本了，老母親立馬使出洪荒之力找出一本cue了六種交通工具的繪本，成功引起崽子的注意。一本繪本講了一晚上，當天就自己嘰裏呱啦讀了起來。是哪個寶藏繪本這麼有魅力？一起來看看吧。
Down by the Station 是一首流傳很廣的英語國家兒歌，在Child's Play，鵝媽媽等童謠叢書中都有收錄。本週我們選擇的是Child's Play版的洞洞書，這本書細節衆多，描述的是清晨火車站裏的忙碌景象，六段童謠中的內容和對應的圖片都略有不同，建議家長們在講讀的過程中指導小朋友主動尋找圖片中的不同之處哦。
