故事简介:

一只第一次见到圆月的小猫咪把圆月误认为了一碗牛奶,为了”喝”这碗牛奶,它费劲心力,不断追寻,经历多重挫折,最终沮丧而归,却在回家后发现一碗正等着它的牛奶。

It was kitten’s first full moon.

When she saw it, she thought,

There’s a little bowl of milk in the sky.

And she wanted it

So she closed her eyes and stretched her neck and opened her mouth and licked.

But Kitten only ended up with a bug on her tongue.

Still, there was the little bowl of milk,

just waiting

So she pulled herself together and wiggled her bottom and sprang from the top step of the porch.

But Kitten only tumbled bumping her nose and banging her ear and pinching her tail.

Still, there was the little bowl of milk,

just waiting.

So she chased it ——

down the sidewalk,

through the garden,

past the field, and by the pond.

But Kitten never seemed to get closer.

Poor Kitten!

Still, there was the little bowl of milk,

just waiting

So she ran to the tallest tree she could find,and she climbed and climbed and climbed to the very top.

But Kitten still couldn’t reach the bowl of milk,and now she was scared。

Poor Kitten!

What could she do!

Then, in the pond, Kitten saw another bowl of milk.

And it was bigger.

What a night!

So she raced down the tree and raced through the grass and raced to the edge of the pond.

She leaped with all her might –

Poor Kitten!

She was wet and sad and tired and hungry.

So she went back home –

and there was a great big bowl of milk on the porch

just waiting for her.

Lucky Kitten!

后评

以儿童为本位，充分尊重孩子是一本优质图画书的必备精神内涵。《小猫咪追月亮》不仅在创作中注意贴近儿童的内心世界，同时在翻译出版的过程中，也秉承着这一可贵的儿童观。它的中文译者是黄忆慈，一位十二岁的小女孩。这本身就是对孩子的一种尊重，因为孩子在面对这个世界时，也拥有表达的权利，表达者与阅读者有一种天然的精神默契。

陪依依读这本绘本，一开始她就被这只可爱的小猫咪吸引了，还没等我开讲自己就翻了一遍。黑白灰之间更像是一只猫咪的成长故事。小猫咪像我们的孩子一样单纯而专注地追逐着自己想要的东西，历经多次挫折，始终在追寻，最终回家发现自己想要的东西，原来幸福就在自己身边。对于孩子，我们更多的是目送他的别离，守护他的天真，期待他的归来！

依依这几天一直抱着这本书，超级喜欢这只小猫咪。我想更多的是带给她有趣的故事，至于那些大道理待日后她成长过程中慢慢体会吧！
