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

套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。套裝還是很劃算的,特彆是拼圖積木,有些像七巧闆,可以拼不少圖像的。書也十分厚實的不過價格還是有些貴的,如果沒有拼圖就有些不劃算瞭。原版繪本在活動時特彆劃算,隻有原價的3-4摺左右。看有活動多囤些。恢復原價後再買就不劃算瞭呢。

據發現早慧的孩子都有一個共同的特點,就是喜歡閱讀,古今中外,也有不少因為兒時喜歡閱讀而最終走上成功道路的名人。對於孩子來說,閱讀不僅僅是一種從閱讀內容中獲取有用信息的一種方式,而且還是構成他們日常生活的一項重要內容,是促進孩子的人性健康發展的有益方式。孩子在閱讀對象的潛移默化之下會慢慢的形成良好的道德感、審美感和意誌力。換句話說,閱讀對於孩子的情商發展是十分有利的。我們都知道,情商對於一個正在成長的孩子來說,有的時候甚至會比智商更加重要。一個智商高的孩子,如果沒有堅強、樂觀的性格以及正確的人生觀和世界觀的輔助的話,是很難真正獲得成功的。而這些品格都是應該從小培養的。目前很多傢庭也越來越重視幼兒閱讀能力的培養,但也要注意方式方法。興趣是最好的老師,在培養幼兒閱讀能力中也是如此,想讓孩子愛上閱讀,首先要培養孩子的閱讀興趣。1、選擇孩子感興趣的圖書;2、父母自己必須喜歡讀書;3、讓幼兒在遊戲中閱讀;4、將故事錶演齣來。可見,閱讀是幫助孩子情商發展的一種有效的方式,是引導孩子健康成長的一種重要的方法。優秀的閱讀作品會對孩子的情商發展産生不可預計的作用,它們往往具有很強的道德感染力,有一種洗滌心靈、催人嚮上的力量。
