[轉載]原版繪本分享

圖/文 原版英文繪本推廣人 愛樂娃澤媽 Elva這是一套《我的第一本數數書》,但是不同於以往的題材,這是部隊題材的,一共4本紙板書,是紀念海軍,海軍陸戰隊,陸軍,空軍的系列書。從這套書中,我們可以窺探出美國的軍事文化,給那些喜歡大炮,坦克的男孩子們過過癮哈。原來這麼抽象的東西,都可以用繪本演繹得這麼簡單。每本書後面都有每頁出現的事物的詳細背景介紹,讓我們更好的了解部隊文化。澤澤看這套書就喜歡找帶坦克的,帶汽車的。有童子軍情懷的可以了解一下。這4本書的第一頁都是一面美國國旗,只是語言稍有出入,為什麼要重複呢?我想,可能是作者的愛國心使然吧,否則各個「1」都可以換成其他的東西來表示呀。

X這本是慶祝美國海軍Navy的書。
