繪本365: My mother is mine
作者: Marion Dane Bauer/ Peter Elwell
出版社: Little Simon

這本書在我們家中被讀了不下兩百次! 如果媽媽們找不到適合的睡前讀物,那就買它吧!!
相較於故事性的繪本,這本可愛的書像是溫柔的絮語和詩篇,有真情、有溫暖、有一種媽媽的力量。
書本內容很簡單,通常左邊是一句形容媽媽的話,右邊則是對應的動物圖像,
例如一開始的My mother is soft,圖像則是一隻綿羊與一隻小羊;
My mother is strong,對應的是一隻老虎媽媽叼著小老虎走路;
My mother watches me long and long,則是貓頭鷹深情款款地看著他的孩子。
因為整本書唸起來不但優美,也有押韻,把它看待成唸謠也無妨!我就將內文打出來吧!
My mother is soft, my mother is strong, my mother watches me long and long.
My mother sings high, my mother sings sweet, my mother can dance on both of her feet.
My mother feeds me. She holds me tight, she never forgets to kiss me good night.
My mother is tall and tall and tall, but she doesn't mind that I am small.
My mother is pretty, my mother is brave, my mother still loves me when I misbehave.
My mother is special, my mother is fine.
My mother, my mother, my mother is mine.
內容溫暖、可愛、真誠,把媽媽對孩子的愛都具象化的展現了出來,很適合和孩子一起念,一起陶醉啊!
