這首兒歌細(xì)膩地描繪了生活在河邊草地上的十種動物自己獨特的環(huán)境里，跟著媽媽一起活動的場景。從色調(diào)，造型，構(gòu)圖，光影和筆觸，這本書的插畫幾乎算得上是藝術(shù)品。除了吸引目光外，插畫還是最好的批注，最傳神的翻譯，孩子很容易從中找到線索來理解故事內(nèi)容。畫中描繪了岸邊蘆葦叢里的麝鼠muskrat因潛水造成的水波光影，寫實中有印象派的影子。還有母蜥蜴在門扉上曬太陽取暖的一幕，把老舊又長了青苔的門扉the old mossy gate如實呈現(xiàn)在讀者眼前。
Were you surprised when you saw what the case had in it?Do you think this was a funny ending?How do you think the children felt when they found out what was in the case?How do you think the case might have got lost in the first place?
