Publishers Weekly In a stunning celebration of color Caldecott medalist Young ( Lon Po Po ) offers a vibrant variation on the fable of the blind men trying to identify an elephant. Seven differently-hued blind mice approach the ``strange Something'' in their midst on successive days and report their findings to the group. A large black square provides the background for each painting, a dramatic contrast to the brilliant images ``felt'' by the sightless rodents. Young's textured, cut-paper illustrations allow readers to visualize just how a floppy ear might be mistaken for a fan (``I felt it move!''); the elephant's curving trunk springs to life as both a jewel-green snake and a glowing yellow spear. The spare text permits greater exploration and enjoyment of the artwork--it may be difficult to read the story straight through without stopping to compare the various images. The ``Mouse Moral'' that concludes the tale--``Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole''--may seem superfluous to those who prefer the imaginative ``vision'' of the mice. Ages 4-up. (Apr.) Children's Literature In this ancient fable seven blind mice find something mysterious by a pond. One by one, they investigate the "thing" and make their own guesses as to its identity. Only the seventh mouse sees the whole truth and solves the big mystery. This animal fable teaches a great lesson about wisdom and the need to look at the whole instead of getting lost in the parts. Young readers will enjoy the stunning paper-collage illustrations that can also be used to help youngsters explore the concepts of color, days of the week and ordinal numbers. Fewer Reviews Children's Literature In Seven Blind Mice, Ed Young offers a fable from India about understanding something only when you know the whole if it. Seven blind mice encounter an elephant by their pond and one by one they explore the beast to find out what it is. Day by day, each mouse goes forth and comes back with an idea as to what it is. On Monday, the red mouse feels the elephant's sturdy leg and surmises that it is a pillar. On Tuesday, the second mouse, the green one, encounters the elephant's trunk and reports that it is a snake. Similarly, the yellow mouse misidentifies the elephant's tusk as a spear. After six mice have gone, the white mouse runs over the entire elephant and realizes by feeling the entire animal that it is an elephant. In this 1993 Caldecott Honor book, Young incorporates colors of the rainbow, counting, and days of the week as well as the moral that the fable provides. Exquisitely done, Young's cut paper illustrations give life to this age-old tale. The scampering mice transfer well to the screen, B.D. Wong's narration is pitch perfect, and the mice are each endowed with their own singular personalities. An interview with author/illustrator Ed Young rounds out this DVD as he discusses how the concept for this book developed. This DVD is ideal for classroom use and for children's literature enthusiasts. Running time: 7 minutes. Reviewer: Joan Kindig, Ph.D. Children's Literature Young is one of the finest Asian artists in the children's book field. He reveals his understanding of children in Seven Blind Mice, a Caldecott runner-up. He provides visual delight with strong watercolors and imaginative collage. As he recreates the classic tale of the seven blind men, he serves younger children with weaving concepts of colors, numbers and days of the week. The truths of the book and its theme of limited vision, speak best to older children. School Library Journal K-Gr 3-- A real winner, on many levels. The first impression is visual delight. Brilliant colors and varied textures of paper collage are placed in striking contrast against velvety black pages. Bold white lettering imposed on the dark background tells of seven blind mice, seen in seven bright colors. Over the course of a week each investigates, in turn, the strange ``Something'' it encounters. To one it is a pillar, to another a snake, to another a cliff. Finally, on the seventh day, the white mouse, running across the thing and remembering what the others found, concludes that it is an elephant. The tale ends with the moral that wisdom comes from seeing ``the whole.'' Adapting the old fable of the blind men and the elephant by weaving in the days of the week, the mice, and the beautiful shapes of the things they see, Young gives children a clever story, wise words, and a truly exciting visual experience.-- Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ

第一次送过来,书角都是破的,拿个小盒子装大书,书自然折损了。喜欢内容所以申请换货,第二次送过来书脊仍是折损的,比第一次好不了多少,想着再换估计也差不多了,就此作罢。京东客服态度还是蛮好,换货处理也很快,只是这包装真的不敢恭维,好好的原版书被糟蹋成这样,真是令人痛心!

我们以对孩子做出限制为例。大多数父母自己决定制订哪些限制,然后自己承担起实施限制的责任。但是,让我们来想想设立限制的目的是什么。其目的是为了保障孩子的安全,以及为了让孩子适应社会。而当大人以惩罚、说教、控制来实施他们设定的限制时,往往招致孩子的反叛和权力之争。这当然即不能保证孩子的安全,也无法让孩子适应社会。因此,我们必须换种方式,在制订和实施限制时要让孩子参与进来。例如,你们可以一起做头脑风暴,制订孩子看电视、晚上外出玩耍或做家庭作业的限制。让孩子参与讨论(这意味着要让孩子说得比你多,至少是和你说得一样多)为什么限制是重要的、需要什么样的限制以及每个人为实施限制应承担怎样的责任。
