值得推薦的無字書-無字書引導孩子去欣賞插圖

Deep in the Forest (Brinton Turkle)

Do You Want to Be My Friend? (Eric Carle) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLqi9D4EA7Q

Pancakes for Breakfast (Tomie dePaola) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQxGGFYJcgs

The Snowman(Raymond Brigg)

Zoom (Istvan Banyai)

可延伸烹飪活動的繪本-藉由一些道具的操作，小朋友更容易進入狀況

Hansel & Gretal (James Marshall) – 製作糖果屋  

The Gingerbread Boy (Paul Galdone) – 製作薑餅人

The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Eric Carle) – 製作香蕉毛毛蟲

How Are You Peeling? (Saxton Freymann &Joost Elffers) – 製作蔬果沙拉

句型重複性高的繪本-字少  圖畫清楚  句型的重複性要高

最常見的例子就是連三歲孩子都可以「背誦」的Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? (Bill Martin Jr. & Eric Carle)，故事中不斷重複

“Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?” “I see a red bird looking at me.”

“Red Bird, Red Bird, What do you see?” “I see a yellow duck looking at me.”，

孩子很容易就記住，甚至套用成 “Mommy, Mommy, what do you see?”來玩遊戲。學齡前的孩子而言，這種重複性高、甚至可吟唱的繪本，是讓孩子開口說英文的好方法。

Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too? (Eric Carle)

Eat Your Peas (Kes Gray & Nick Sharratt)

可增強phonemic awareness的書-讓孩子由閱讀進入英語的學習

閱讀能力是要慢慢培養的，孩子若要獨立閱讀也需要建立自然發音(phonics)的能力，不過，讓孩子透過繪本去接觸英文，沒有壓力、充滿趣味，又可建立孩子的信心。甚至有些繪本中的韻文(rhyming words)，可以訓練孩子建立自然發音的概念(phonemic awareness)，有助於孩子自然發音的學習。

Don’t Forget the Bacon (Pat Hutchins),

Each Peach Pear Plum (Janet and Allan Ahlberg),

Chica Chica Boom Boom(Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault)

Madeline (Ludwig Bemelmans)

Dr. Seuss系列中的韻文有趣又有節奏感，很適合和孩子一起大聲朗誦

The Cat in the Hat

Green Eggs and Ham都是很不錯的選擇。

給大朋友的英文繪本書單-與孩子一起學英文

我常常鼓勵幼稚園的家長們，不要擔心自己英文不好，和孩子一起閱讀，不但自己可以慢慢累積英文能力，又可以培養親子關係。我們學校有好多家長到後來自己成為愛故事的人(story lover)，會去收集繪本，收藏各種版本的故事與孩子分享。如果爸爸媽媽是個愛繪本的大朋友，現在坊間也有很多是大人才更能體會其中的幽默繪本，作者打破傳統故事的架構直接與讀者對話，或是故事內容顛覆傳統的價值觀，往往會讓愛故事的大朋友拍案叫絕呢！

更多可以進行文化分享的英文繪本書單-閱讀讓孩子與世界接軌 

我們若是無法帶孩子常出國去開眼界，閱讀就是給孩子開拓視野最快速的方式之一，因為孩子從繪本中可以看到聽到許多不同的經驗。不是所有的爸爸媽媽都有時間或是金錢能夠帶孩子出國去認識世界，但是閱讀卻能讓孩子逐步地去累積對世界的認識與了解，未來當孩子有機會與世界接觸時，他會是個更有國際觀與包容力的世界公民。
