媽咪一起來推薦適合小朋友看的英文書籍

Radiomama

剛search這書資料The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events #1)，讀了一位媽媽的分享, 好有意思:

I went back and forth about whether I should get this book to read withmy 7 year old second grader. I kept telling myself I should wait tillshe was older, but found the book at a good price, so I bought it. Iworried it would be too depressing and scary for her, but it did notturn out that way at all. The book is written from a narrators point ofview, so the personal feelings of the characters are never fullyexposed and explored. You know that the three orphans are sad abouttheir parents death, but the book doesn't wallow in their grief andmake it painful to read. If you can imagine Vincent Price reading thebook, that tends to make it a little more lighthearted. The bad guy ofthe book, Count Olaf, is an awful brute who is outright cruel to thechildren at times, but again the book doesn't have the childrensuffering without end. Instead it makes them more resilient to foil theCounts plans and triumph over him. My daughter was EAGER to read thesebooks. That was the best thing about it all. We have tried classics,Pippi Longstocking, Island of the Blue Dolphins, Charlottes Web, but asgreat as they are, they lack The Bad Beginnings level of excitement,mystery and wondering what will happen next. I enjoyed the book myselfand will continue to read the rest of the series, in hopes they are asentertaining as this one. I can see if you have a very sensitive child,this would not be the book for them until they are older. Some kids mydaughters age are scared of Harry Potter movies, so this book would betoo much for them. If your youngster isn't living in a sheltered worldwhere everything is wonderful and bad things don't happen, and they canunderstand the difference between a made up story and a real one, thenthey just might enjoy this new type of childrens adventure stories.

根據你們的description, "A series of Unfortunate Events"的內容好特別, 我仔八歲, 都係"living in a sheltered world", 但見佢睇Harry Potter睇到Deathly Hallows都唔驚,我都想俾佢試下睇呢個series.  請問第一本是否"A Bad Beginning"?

danielboy

多謝你的推介,等我都借番本睇下先,為咗同亞仔有共同話題,亞仔睇的書我都有睇,搞到仲做埋Harry Potter fans 學埋Harry Potter d spells.

係呀, 第一本係"the bad beginning".

如果你小朋友鍾意睇Harry Potter, 應該都會like Darren Shan series "demonata", 亞仔話成套書都係講magic, 除了第一本較悶, 跟住就本本都好精彩.

你可以比佢睇"bionicle", 係lego出品, 睇佢有無興趣, 應該有不同level, 你最初可以揀多d插圖的level比佢睇.

我今日睇咗佢第二本, reptile room.
dark humour, 都幾sad架. 不過都唔會太驚, 作者一開始就警告小讀者會有人死. 都算做足心理預備:)
小朋友若太細個, 可能會以為世界就係咁灰.
我前排讓兩個仔睇clone wars season 2. 我細囝之後無啦啦同我講: 呢個世界好horrid! 我聽咗後, 即刻唔讓佢睇住. 佢仲細, 未分得清真真假假.
但我相信10歲的大囝反應會不同.

我個女暫時未有能力睇 Harry Potter, 我都鍾意睇佢的電影, 但係聽到好多人都話書精彩過電影, 所以我都想試下睇. 我本身係唔鍾意睇書, 依家係為左陪養小女鍾意睇書, 先迫自己睇書.

請問如果想買Harry Potter 最易明果本, 應該買咩野 version 呀 ?

Harry Potter書精彩過電影,係鐵一般的事實,就正如金庸的武俠小說一定好睇過電視劇,但又可能我本身喜歡睇書.

不過我唔清楚Harry Potter有沒有較易明的版本,只知有英國版(Bloomsbury)同美國版(Scholastic),差別亦不太大.另有兒童版,但印象中(沒有刻意比較)只係個cover唔同.我只可以講第一至四本較易明.

咁我買左兒童版先 ...^^

unlike classic stories, Harry potter does not have children edition.  The only difference is on the cover.  book 1 is relatively easy, so you might want to watch the dvd first, with background from the film, it would be easier to understand the scence depict in the book

我之前已經講過,兒童版只係個cover不同,內容同成人版應該分別不大,所以你無需要刻意找兒童版.

但我的做法唔同,我小朋友係先睇書再睇電影,睇書時小朋友有較大的幻想空間,把文字喺腦袋中圖象化.電影cut了不少書中嘅精彩情節,我小朋友都有點投訴,尤其第五本嘅電影Order of Phoenix.

明白晒 ... 謝謝 ~

呢套書係連續劇, 一定要順序睇才知道完畢情節.

唔知有無小朋友睇緊Percy Jackson既書, 而家學校好多同學仔追緊, 應該都好適合男仔睇.

我自己睇咗, 好睇, 不過我覺得要對希臘神話有d認識先至arm睇.

Lady Birds 出的書也唔錯。
我個仔有好多這個出版社的讀物。
