編輯推薦
適讀人群 :4-7歲 With the arrival of Martha, Lassie had best look to her canine laurels. This scintillating story weighs the pros and cons of owning a loquacious pet. Thanks to the apparently magical properties of alphabet soup, unassuming mutt Martha is transformed into the Mr. Ed of the canine world. Unfortunately, the novelty for her human family wears off in a hurry: Martha blabs non-stop and commits numerous gaffes--telling one visitor, "Mom said that fruitcake you sent wasn't fit for a dog. But I thought it was delicious." Meddaugh's ( The Witches' Supermarket ; Tree of Birds ) quirky take on the anthropomorphic pooch proves uproarious. Droll illustrations capture Martha's guileless expressions, her joy at the mastery of speech and her hurt feelings after she's commanded to pipe down. The book may be difficult to read aloud because Martha's not-to-be-missed comments, separate from the main narrative, interrupt the tale's flow. Still, anyone who's ever wondered what their pets are thinking will enjoy this imaginative book, its tactless but lovable main character and its triumphant ending. Ages 4-8.
內容簡介
When Helen Finney feeds alphabet soup to her dog, Martha, it goes straight up to her brain, and Martha begins to speak! But having a talking dog isn't always as much fun as it seems.

"Bright with watercolor washes, the cartoon-like ink drawings ensure that book's immediate appeal...A hysterical tail - er, tale."

這個狗狗很可愛 是兒童書籍的閤著的斯坦和簡博丹優秀係列的另一個贏傢。這個係列是關於熊的傢庭:媽媽,爸爸,和兩個幼崽。在本書中,兩個小熊睡過頭瞭——他們會錯過瞭校車?這本書包含瞭有趣的卡通插圖,是光明的軟的,柔和的顔色。我尤其喜歡熊的古怪的房子:一棵空心樹與維多利亞時代的口音和薰衣草的裝飾。這個故事講的是在一個有吸引力的韻與簡單的詞匯——偉大的初讀者。例如:“這幾乎是七,你可以看到。所有的熊的傢甜蜜的樹是安靜的。”這本書的一個好的教育聯係的事實是,熊的故事伴隨著傳統的clockfaces和數字顯示的時間,從而幫助年輕讀者學習如何在這兩種格式告訴時間。我為我五歲的侄子買瞭這本書,他很喜歡它。強烈推薦。這是讓我四歲的每天早上起床都很有用的書。一個非常好的特性是,每一頁顯示一個刻度盤和數字時鍾,可以讓孩子學會說時間。本書還教導我的兒子,他會如果他不按時起床上學遲到。所以現在我每天早上都會讀這本書給他,他會微笑著醒來而不是抱怨“我想睡覺”!
