6 Sticks
六根棍子可以做什麼呢?做旗竿,貼上旗子;做個貓臉,棍子當貓的鬍鬚;做兩個鞦韆......
說故事技巧:
這是一本為孩子閱讀起步所設計的簡單讀本,不過也可以當作故事來讀,因為這兩隻小老鼠很有創意,從六根冰棒棍發想出許多創作!說完故事,聽故事的孩子也一定會想要拿幾根冰棒棍來玩一玩。

Maisy's Bus
Maisy's Bus, by Lucy Cousins, Walker, 2000
小鼠波波開著公車,帶著動物們到處去,連大象都能擠進去。
沒有背景的圖像、簡單的文字,很容易就懂。
兒歌:
Bus Ride
The big door opens (兩手做門開狀)
Step up and sit down(做出上台階和坐下的動作。)
The driver starts the engine. (做用鑰匙發動車子的動作)
And the big bus goes to town.(開車)
Lucy Cousin (1964- ), 四個孩子的英國媽媽。
My Friend Rabbit
小老鼠想駕著飛機飛上天,他的好朋友兔子幫他忙,連機帶鼠地往天上一射!哇!卡在樹上了,兔子當然願意把老鼠救下來,可是這個朋友只會幫倒忙,......
延伸活動:
這個故事內容除了友誼,還有疊疊(也是跌跌)樂的情節,因此也很能配合"Ring-a-round-a-rosy"的來玩"fall down"。
兒歌:
Here is a Bunny
Here is a bunny.(一手伸出食指和中指,上下舉動,當作兔子)
With ears so funny.(把兩指彎起來)
And here's a hole in the ground. (另一手插腰成一個洞)
When a noise he hears.(做側聽的動作、懷疑的表情)
He pricks up his ears.(兩手指很快地伸直)
And jumps in the hole with a bound! (說到bound時,「兔子」跳進「洞」裡)
Where Are You going, Little Mouse?
Whose Mouse are You?
這是誰的老鼠呢?"Nobody's mouse!"因為媽媽被花貓吃了,爸爸被籠子關了,姊姊離家出走,而他也沒有弟弟,真的是「沒人的老鼠」!真是可憐啊!怎麼辦呢?這隻沒人的老鼠有了辦法,他去用力搖貓,把媽媽搖出來,他去...最後一家團圓,還包括那位剛剛還不存在的弟弟。
可做道具來搭配演唱The Quiet Mouse,或當成手指謠來玩。
The Quiet Mouse
Once there lived a quiet mouse.
(一隻手當老鼠)
In a quiet little house.
(另一手當房子,讓老鼠住到房子裡)
When all was quiet as can be.
(比出「請小聲」的手勢)

兒歌:
網路示唱:A Sailor Went to Sea
A Sailor Went To Sea
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea.
To see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see.
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea!
(或玩拍手遊戲。兩人一組,對坐。第一句:a-自拍,sai-右手拍對方,lor-自拍,went-手拍對方,to-自拍,sea,sea,sea- 雙手拍對方三次。後三句也是用同樣拍法按節奏拍手。)

Come Out and Play, Little Mouse
網路有聲書: Come Out and Play, Little Mouse
從星期一到星期五,貓都想要找老鼠出來玩,可是老鼠每一次都不能出來,因為他若不是要陪媽媽去買菜,就是要幫爸爸刷油漆......到了星期六,老鼠還是很忙,不過,老鼠的弟弟倒是有空,他高興地出來玩,玩什麼呢?貓說玩貓捉老鼠!這下可糟了!
兒歌:
這首兒歌本是用來唱一週七天的例行公事:
The Mulberry Bush
Here we go round the mulberry bush, mulberry bush, mulberry bush.
Here we go round the mulberry bush so early in the morning.
This is the way we wash our clothes, wash our clothes, wash our clothes,
This is the way we wash our clothes so early Monday morning.
(重唱第三、四行,但改為iron our clothes—Tuesday; scrub the floor—Wednesday; mend our clothes—Thursday; sweep the house—Friday; bake our bread—Saturday; go to church—Sunday.)
不過,也可以用來唱起床歌:把wash our clothes改成brush our teeth, wash our faces, comb our hair, put on our clothes, put on our socks, put on our shoes, ....(邊唱邊做出動作)
當然也適合用來唱洗澡歌:把wash our clothes改成find the tub, add the water, take off our clothes, get in the tub, rub with soap, ....(邊唱邊做出動作)
Cats and Mice
There's a Bear on My Chair
There's a Bear on My Chair, by Ross Collins, Nosy Crow, 2015
作者親自讀給你聽:There's a Bear on My Chair
There's a bear on my chair.
...
It is not fair.
...
I wish he was not there.
一本字句押韻的好看書,結局也很令人驚喜!而且這隻小老鼠還懂得不要欺負瀕臨絕種的北極熊!
說故事技巧:
1. 慢慢說,完整唸,孩子很快就會知道這是押韻書,甚至還可以幫忙唸尾音呢!
2. 在老鼠沒轍的時候,先問孩子有沒有其他好辦法。或者照作者在youtube上的建議~唸完再問。

Mouse Mess
Mouse Count
The Rose in My Garden
花園裡有一株玫瑰花,玫瑰花上有一隻蜜蜂在睡覺,玫瑰花旁有一珠蜀葵替蜜蜂遮陽,蜀葵旁有一排金盞菊......花園裡就是有這麼多花,非常熱鬧,然後就來了那麼一隻嚇壞了的小老鼠,因為後面追來了一隻破了耳朵的貓!糟了!小老鼠肯定沒命!
說故事技巧:
這篇以累加方式書寫的「長詩」,雖然迷人,但並不好說,需要練習和記憶花名。而當字句逐漸累加到十行以上時,孩子的耐心也會漸漸被磨光,因此設法製造氣氛是重要的。
1. 用不織布做故事景物來配合說故事,或許能夠讓孩子更專心些。
2. 用《London Bridge is Falling Down》的調來唱這首Roses are Red小詩,也是很搭配的:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet.
And so are you!
The Gruffalo
這是中國成語故事「狐假虎威」的英文圖畫故事書版!小老鼠在森林裡遇見想吃他的動物,小老鼠騙說他得去找gruffalo吃飯,動物們都沒聽過gruffalo,小老鼠就告訴他們gruffalo是一種有長牙、尖爪、黑舌的怪獸,那些動物當然就被嚇得溜走。但是,天底下哪有什麼gruffalo!直到有一天,小老鼠真的遇見一隻......
說故事技巧:
這故事發展到小老鼠遇見gruffalo算是告一段落,其文字雖多,但字句重複,對已有聆聽英語經驗的4歲孩子來說並不難理解。但當故事繼續發展,小老鼠靠著走在背後的gruffalo,而讓動物們都嚇得閃避,這個狐假虎威的概念,對4歲多的孩子還是太難了一些,雖然可以加入肢體演出或中文來幫助他們,但儘管如此,故事還是太長了些,比較適合語言程度更好一些的孩子來聽。
City Mouse Country Mouse and Two More Mouse Tales from Aesop
Once a Mouse ...
The Selfish Crocodile
網路有聲書: The Selfish Crocodile
這隻鱷魚很自私,他不准動物們到河裡來,他說那是他的河,因此,動物們只好一個個都離河遠遠的。有一天,動物們聽到鱷魚痛苦的呻吟聲,但大家都不敢接近河邊,所以沒人知道為什麼鱷魚會這麼痛苦,直到一隻勇敢的小老鼠出現,才發現原來這隻自私的鱷魚牙齒痛...
牙齒痛和自私有什麼關係?
