据说孩子从一出生就本能的会寻求妈妈的心跳，因为孩子在妈妈肚子里时就已经熟悉了妈妈的心跳和呼吸。

如果出生后还能依偎在有妈妈的环境里会极大的增强孩子的安全感，这对于构建亲子依恋将非常有帮助。

所有的孩子都会害怕失去妈妈，下面故事里的三只猫头鹰宝宝就很好的诠释了孩子对妈妈深深的依恋。


内容简介:


    莎拉、波西与比尔三只猫头鹰宝宝和妈妈住在树洞里。一天晚上，当猫头鹰宝宝醒来的时候，发现它们的妈妈不知去向，莎拉与波西开始猜想妈妈到底去哪里？而比尔只是不断地吵着要妈妈。


时间越来越晚，妈妈还是没回家，三只猫头鹰宝宝原本各自站在属于自己的树枝上，后来它们感到越来越害怕，于是便靠拢在一起，并且祈祷妈妈快快归来。最后…










推荐理由：

孩子们最大的恐惧就是被拋弃，因此当妈妈突然不见的时候，他们便会开始担心害怕，并且胡思乱想。


他们怕妈妈从此一去不回，也担忧妈妈的安危。三只可爱的小猫头鹰就是面临这种恐惧，但是即使感到不安，它们心中还是确信妈妈只是外出觅食，一定会平安归来。


作者巧妙地安排这三只小猫头鹰的位置，它们从原本待在树洞，然后站在各自的树枝上，最后全部站在同一根树枝上，充分地显现它们内心不断累积的恐惧感。


另外，作者采用不同的角度来绘制故事的场景，例如由树洞内往外、森林的一角与向下俯看，让读者更有身历其境之感，而整页的插画更为此效果增色不少。色彩鲜明与明暗对比的构图使夜晚的神秘与静谧历历在目。


作者所制造出来的悬疑深深吸引读者的目光，吊足大家的胃口。在阅读过程中，孩子一定也跟着小猫头鹰们着急起来，到底猫头鹰妈妈到哪里去了？

附英文故事：


OWL BABIES

MARTIN WADDELL / PATRICK BENSON
Once there were three baby owls: Sarah and Percy and Bill.
They lived in a hole in the trunk of a tree with their Owl Mother.
The hole had twigs and leaves and owl feathers in it.
It was their house.

One night they woke up and their Owl Mother was GONE.
“Where’s Mummy?” asked Sarah.
“Oh my goodness!” said Percy.
“I want my mummy!” said Bill.

The baby owls thought (all owls think a lot) –
“I think she’s gone hunting,” said Sarah.
“To get us our food!” said Percy.
“I want my mummy!” said Bill.

But their Owl Mother didn’t come.
The baby 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 bit of ivy for Bill.
“She’ll be back,” said Sarah.
“Back soon!” said Percy.
“I want my mummy!” said Bill.

It was dark in the wood and they had to be brave, for things moved all around them.
“She’ll bring us mice and things that are nice,” said Sarah.
“I suppose so!” said Percy.
“I want my mummy!” said Bill.

They sat and they thought (all owls think a lot) –
“I think we should all sit on my branch,” said Sarah.
And they did, all three together.

“Suppose she got lost,” said Sarah.
“Or a fox got her!” said Percy.
“I want my mummy!” said Bill.
And the baby owls closed their owl eyes and wished their Owl Mother would come.

AND SHE CAME.

Soft and silent, she swooped through the trees to Sarah and Percy and Bill.

“Mummy!” they cried, and they flapped and they danced, and they bounced up and down on their branch.

“WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS?” their Owl Mother asked.
“You knew I’d come back.”
The baby owls thought (all owls think a lot) –
“I knew it,” said Sarah.
“And I knew it!” said Percy.
“I love my mummy!” said Bill.
