Overview / 简介: |
| What would life be like if you had feet like a duck, or horns like a deer, a whale spout on your head, or a long, long nose? In this crazy tale a small boy imagines all these things, only to decide in the end that perhaps it's better to be "ME" after all. With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranking among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a million books sold worldwide. This delightful book forms part of the third stage in HarperCollins' major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch of six more titles in January 2004, such all-time favourites as The Lorax, The Foot Book and Yertle the Turtle boast bright new covers that incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. I Wish That I Had Duck Feet belongs to the Green Back Book range. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Another silly title from the Beginner Books series (the same place that Dr. Seuss and the Berenstains hang their hats), I Wish That I Had Duck Feet follows one little guy's dreams of borrowing all sorts of useful appendages from the animal world. "I wish that I had duck feet. And I can tell you why. You can splash around in duck feet. You don't have to keep them dry." But each time he imagines something new--those duck feet, a prickly pair of deer horns perfect for playing football, a spraying whale spout to keep his classroom cool--he realizes that it's not always all it's cracked up to be. "BUT... If I had a long, long tail, I know that Big Bill Brown would tie me in a tree! He would! Then how would I get down?" A vacuuming mom and pipe-smoking dad are straight out of '60s suburbia (Duck Feet first came out in 1965), but the playful illustrations and catchy rhymes still make for good fun. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes -- |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book clearly deserves more than five stars for being one of the most helpful and interesting children's books of all time!
Children have powerful imaginations, and this book provides an outstanding model for helping them to learn how to use their imaginations in more useful ways. In addition, the story is so interesting and compelling that they will be drawn into wanting to reread it often. As a result, they will begin to memorize the sentences . . . and thus have the foundation for identifying the words that go along with their recollections.
Unlike many children's books, this one would also be appealing to adult literacy students.
The illustrations are particularly good for making the boy's (and your child's) imagination come to life.
The book begins with the boy waddling around on duck feet.
"You can splash around in duck feet.
You don't have to keep them dry.
No more shoes!"
". . . very good to have them when I play." This is illustrated with the boy getting thules in a pond while ducks swim by.
"BUT . . . My mother would not like them." She would not like the wet mess in her clean house.
From this sequence, you can see how the book is structured. The child imagines some new feature attached to his body. He then thinks about the advantages of that new feature. Next, he considers the drawbacks. Having looked at both, he goes on to decide whether to keep the feature or not. This is a method that many geniuses have used throughout history to make their great breakthroughs. Sharing this method is a wonderful gift to give your child!
Then, the boy goes on to repeat the process.
"SO . . . If I can't have duck feet,
I'll have something else instead . . .
. . . two horns up on my head."
He tries on "a long, long tail," "a nose just like an elephant's," and "ALL THOSE THINGS!" The last he calls a "Which-What-Who."
Then the story teaches its final lesson:
"AND SO . . . I think there are some things I do not wish to be."
"And that is why
I think that I
just wish to be like ME."
The final illustration shows all of the appendages discussed in the book in a garbage can.
An obvious application of the book is to encourage your child to come up with her or his own ideas for changing the body, discussing benefits and drawbacks, and deciding whether the change would be a beneficial one over all. You can have tremendous fun with that one, while teaching Benjamin Franklin's favorite method for making decisions. He would list all of the pros and cons of something on a piece of paper, and then decide what do do. Millions still use this process.
I especially like the way the book helps the child come to appreciate what he or she already has. Few books of imagination leave a child feeling more satisfied with herself or himself. That's a very nice touch.
If you find that your child is sensitive about some feature (glasses, being diminutive, a large nose, or whatever), you can use this book's structure in a different way. You can encourage your child to find as many advantages as possible to overbalance the disadvantages that have already been noticed, and to be glad about that feature. That perspective would be a great gift to your child!
See potential all around you . . . then seize the opportunities that truly make sense!
