The Little House Board Book 小房子

"Once upon a time there was a Little House way out in thecountry. She was a pretty Little House and she was strong and wellbuilt." So begins Virginia Lee Burton's classic The Little House,winner of the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1942. The rosy-pinkLittle House, on a hill surrounded by apple trees, watches the daysgo by, from the first apple blossoms in the spring through thewinter snows. Always faintly aware of the city's distant lights,she starts to notice the city encroaching on her bucolic existence.First a road appears, which brings horseless carriages and thentrucks and steamrollers. Before long, more roads, bigger homes,apartment buildings, stores, and garages surround the Little House.Her family moves out and she finds herself alone in the middle ofthe city, where the artificial lights are so bright that the LittleHouse can no longer see the sun or the moon. She often dreams of"the field of daisies and the apple trees dancing in themoonlight." Finally a woman recognizes her and whisks the LittleHouse back to the country where she belongs, they will rejoice. Forgenerations, young readers have been delighted by the whimsical,detailed drawings and happy ending.

《小房子》处在乡下的小房子，每天都过着平淡的生活，感受大自然带给自己的新奇的变化，可是有一天她也腻了，渴望大城市的生活，真的有一天，她过上城市的生活，她却不适应了。简单的一个小房子的故事，让我们看到我们人类的真实想法，当另一个领域我们没接触的时候，我们有多么渴望去了解，接触，可是真正有机会了解接触了，去后悔了，想回到过去。我们现在很多情况下还是这种想法。 《小房子》这本绘本的寓意比较深刻，我今天跟一年级小朋友一起分享这个故事，可能小朋友不是很懂，但是相信有一天他们会明白当日老师跟她们一起分享小房子故事的含义的。
