內容簡介

The classic tale of a peddler, some monkeys and their monkey business.

作者簡介

Esphyr Slobodkina (the name is pronounced ess-FEER sloh-BOD-kee-nah) was born in the Siberian town of Chelyabinsk on Sept. 22, 1908.

Esphyr immigrated to the United States on a student visa at the age of 29. She enrolled at the National Academy of Design, NYC, and in the 1930s, she worked painting lamp shades and soon after murals for the WPA. Esphyr was a founding member of the American Abstract Artists, which began amid controversy in 1936.

In 1937 Slobodkina met the children's author Margaret Wise Brown. In an effort to find work as an illustrator, Slobodkina wrote and illustrated a story with collage called Mary And The Poodies to present to Brown. This began a new career for Slobodkina, who illustrated many children's stories for Ms. Brown (including Sleepy ABCs and the Big and Little series) while still continuing her work as an abstract artist.

In her autobiography, (portions available through this web-site) Ms. Slobodkina wrote, "When Margaret died, I was left without a writer, and since she always insisted that she liked the way I told my stories, I took a deep breath and began to send them to my agent." Ms. Slobodkina took her responsibility as a children's book author seriously. In her memoir she wrote: "The verbal patterns and the patterns of behavior we present to children in these lighthearted confections are likely to influence them for the rest of their lives. These aesthetic impressions, just like the moral teachings of early childhood, remain indelible."

Caps for Sale was first published in 1938. Since then it has sold more than two million copies. Today it is considered a children's book classic as generation after generation pass the story along to new readers. In sales it ranks with such classics as Good Night Moon, according to Publisher's Weekly.

Caps for Sale, won a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 and is memorialized in a painting by Ms. Slobodkina on permanent exhibition in the West Hartford Library, CT.

Ms. Slobodkina wrote and illustrated numerous other books, including Mary and The Poodies (1937), The Wonderful Feast, (1955), The Clock (1956), The Long Island Ducklings (1961), and Pezzo the Peddler and the Circus Elephant, which was first published in 1967 and was reissued in 2002 as Circus Caps for Sale, to name a few.

At the age of 88, Esphyr's primary focus became overseeing the production of musical storybook cassettes of all twenty of her children's books.

At age 90, Esphyr designed a mini museum in Glen Head, Long Island, NY (through her Slobodkina Foundation) as a place where guests can visit and view more than 200 works of art, her handmade dolls and jewelry, as well as her complete collection of children's storybooks, including some original illustrations.

Famed artist and author Esphyr Slobodkina was a leader of the abstract movement in the United States from the 1930s until her death at age 93 in July 2002.

精彩書評

A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business, this absurd and very simple story has become a classic, selling hundreds of thousands of copies since its first publication in 1940. A peddler walks around selling caps from a tall, tottering pile on his head. Unable to sell a single cap one morning, he walks out into the countryside, sits down under a tree, checks that all the caps are in place, and falls asleep. When he wakes up, the caps are gone--and the tree is full of cap-wearing monkeys. His attempts to get the caps back generate the kind of repetitive rhythm that 3- and 4-year-olds will adore.
--Richard Farr

"From an old folk tale [the author] has fashioned this bright picture book, infusing it with a humor which seems to have sprung from her own hearty enjoyment of the troubles of a peddler with a abnd of monkeys."
--The New York Times

學齡前的孩子，會非常喜歡同一本故事書，而一念再念。試想一本故事書一旦說瞭十遍，就算是再小的孩子，都會知道什麼是對的？什麼是錯的？誰是好孩子？誰不該學習？大人也就不必再囉嗦一些連自己都不想聽的大道理瞭。孩子年紀雖小，心思卻是很細密的，我隻是不間斷地念故事書，但孩子大部分的好習慣和好品格，就在不知不覺中慢慢形成瞭。當孩子漸漸大瞭，開始需要教導他們一些規矩時，很神奇的是，我隻要說個幾次，不用費太多唇舌，兩個孩子就能輕易瞭解我的話，並且確實地遵守、執行。連我自己都常常不由得暗自贊嘆，這兩個孩子為什麼有一迴坐捷運，一個小朋友看見空位就一屁股坐上去，完全無視身旁父母的存在。於是，我趁機簡單地跟當時讀幼兒園中班的兒子講解瞭一下；沒想到自此以後，如果捷運上隻有一個空位時，就會聽到一個小男孩大聲地問：姊姊要不要坐？媽媽要不要坐？等我們都搖頭時，纔見他不疾不徐地坐下去，他的禮貌，常常會到其它的乘客。父母在教育孩子的當口，常可能因為太在意孩子當前的問題，有時使齣渾身解數還解決不瞭事情時，牛角尖就會愈鑽愈深，往往造成親子關係兩敗俱傷。殊不見所謂的「橡皮擦媽媽」，每天跟在小學一年級的孩子身邊做功課，孩子寫一個字、媽媽擦一個字，一個邊哭邊寫、一個邊罵邊擦。不知道有多少父母在孩子中、高年級之後纔後悔，很多自己太重視的東西，當時都以為是在幫孩子的忙，其實卻是在不知不覺中扼殺瞭孩子的學習興趣。二十年以後，假設孩子都已經長大、進瞭社會，不論他們從事藍領或白領工作，想要讓事業成功的關鍵因素會是什麼呢？」我喜歡把問題推嚮未來，讓父母跳脫現在，這樣心中的疑問，有時反而會變得明白。學曆、語文、人脈、傢世背景、吃苦耐勞……等，每個人的條件組閤都不相同，但大多數的成功者都有一個共通點：對的態度。如果你是老闆，希望雇用抱持什麼態度的員工呢？每個人心中都有一把尺，即使學曆再高，隻要態度不對，你還會願意雇用他嗎？如果你是個受雇於人的員工，又希望遇上什麼樣的同事呢？是遇事推托、遇錯推諉；還是負責任、願意與人閤作的夥伴呢？態度關係著事業的成功，也關係著傢庭的和諧，根本就是關係著整個人生。像是當今有多少人在使用現金卡或信用卡擴張消費，而金錢觀、價值觀和消費習慣，也是人生態度的一環。如果一個成年人可以去跟人藉錢，隻為瞭買一個名牌包，這樣的人生是否還真的能快樂起來，實在令人存疑。如果二十年後，父母纔發現孩子的人生態度有問題，這樣可就太遲瞭。不趁孩子還是一張白紙時多花些心力，等到人格都已定型後，父母的教育功能早已衰退，對孩子的影響力也已經有限。不要繼續溺愛他、不要繼續幫他處理一筆又一筆的負債，可能是到時候唯一能做的事。

適閤親子閱讀。其實我感覺孩子們在不識字的時候，看英文和中文的圖書都是一樣的，隻是中西方的錶達方式和教育方嚮有一些不同，多多閱讀國外的經典故事更能讓孩子們全麵成長。
