If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

壮妈汀妈点评:

假如你给了老鼠一块饼干,那你的麻烦才刚刚开始。。。

有了饼干它会要求你给他一杯奶;吃了饼干喝了牛奶,它会要求你给它一张餐巾纸;拿了餐巾纸它要去照镜子;照了镜子它发现头发要剪了;剪了头发它。。。

一个有趣的故事。给5岁的汀汀讲,讲到小老鼠要人念书给他听,还非要求看书上的画时,我们俩都乐了,怎么跟汀汀一样啊!他躺在床上,即使给他念字书时,偶尔有个插图他也非要起来看看那画!好在他不会兴奋地马上要求拿笔拿纸去画。可是平时画了画,一定要在醒目的位置上签上自己的名字,哈,这点也跟小老鼠一样~还有呢,也要把画帖起来,也老是跟我们要胶条。。。

这书看着好玩儿,又把同系列的书找来看,《If You Give a Moose a Muffin》、《If You Give a Pig a Pancake》,读着读着,汀汀自己都不仅感慨道:“妈妈,这就是我呀!”

可不是嘛,这系列的书,原来就是在讲孩子的生活!我家汀汀一放学回家,很快房间里就下不去脚了!爬到床下找东西,看见床底下脏,他就拿出吸尘器把床推开去吸尘;吸着吸着,在墙角找到了丢了很久的吸铁石,然后丢下吸尘器又去找跟吸铁石配套的玩具;在玩具箱里找着找着玩具,又发现了好久没玩的弓箭。。。哎,真是让人头大啊!可是写在故事里,看着还挺有趣。让我不禁为孩子的顽皮而释怀。

If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk.
When you give him the milk, he'll probably ask you for a straw.
When he's finished, he'll ask for a napkin.

Then he'll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache.
When he looks into the mirror, he might notice his hair needs a trim.
So he'll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.
When he's finished giving himself a trim, he'll want a broom to sweep up.
He'll start sweeping.
He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house.
He may even end up washing the floors as well!
When he's done, he'll probably want to take a nap.

You'll have to fix up a little box for him with a blanket and a pillow.
He'll crawl in, make himself comfortable and fluff the pillow a few times.
He'll probably ask you to read him a story.
So you'll read to him from one of your books, and he'll ask to see the pictures.
When he looks at the pictures, he'll get so excited he'll want to draw one of his own. He'll ask for paper and crayons.
He'll draw a picture.

When the picture is finished, he'll want to sign his name with a pen.
Then he'll want to hang his picture on your refrigerator.
Which means he'll need scotch tape.
He'll hang up his drawing and stand back to look at it.
Looking at the refrigerator will remind him that

he's thirsty.

So...he'll ask for a glass of milk.
And chances are if he asks for a glass of milk, he's going to want a cookie to go with it.
