A young child goes for a walk and discovers a colorful parade of animals along the way. “What a charmer. . . . An excellent story hour choice.”—Booklist During the course of a walk, a young boy identifies animals of different colors.
這本書在語言韻律上和故事情節上都有過人之處。語言上句式簡單還循環押韻。涵蓋的詞匯包括動物名稱和顏色。這個就是家長老師知道一下就行了,可以在進行動物或顏色主題閱讀的時候考慮這本繪本。故事情節上,簡潔,對稱而且更可貴的是每個情節還有呼應性。
This Australian import presents a repetitive rhyme that will be appreciated most by the very young. A boy takes a walk and encounters a variety of animals: "I went walking / What did I see? / I saw a black cat / Looking at me." The cat follows him, as do all of the other animals he meets: a brown horse, a red cow, a green duck, a pink pig and a yellow dog. Finally the child is leading a veritable parade of animals. Although Williams's text is not particularly imaginative, the book receives spark from Vivas's illustrations. Each time the question is posed, she offers a partial glimpse of the animal, which is not shown in its entirety until the following page. Thus the story becomes a kind of guessing game that little ones will enjoy playing again and again. Ages 3-7. (Publishers Weekly )
