鵝爸爸（彩色英文朗讀版）

呈現于讀者面前的這本《Father Goose：鵝爸爸》，由美國知名插圖畫家布蘭琪· F. 萊特女士創作完成，她的另一本頗有影響力的插圖著作《Mother Goose: 鵝媽媽》自出版后，一直流傳至今。對中國孩子來說，這兩本英文童謠書可以幫助他們更好地感受英語這種語言的韻律美，亦可以作為英語學習的閱讀素材，接近英語母語孩子的學習過程。為了幫助大家更好地理解這些童謠所蘊含的歷史背景，我們特意請加拿大英語教師凱倫女士加以註釋，她簡潔的英語轉述，定能幫助讀者理解和使用本書。

對這兩本書的使用，建議家長和老師不必完全按照先後順序一一使用，可以結合孩子的興趣與學習階段，從中作出一些取捨，以真正激發孩子們學習英語的興趣。我們同時提供與本書文本對應的配套英文朗讀（掃描最後一頁二維碼即可進入下載頁面）。
