Publishers Weekly Bauer (If You Were Born a Kitten) and Elwell (Three Brave Women) explore the depths, delights and ferocity of the mother-child bond and for the most part, their foray into unabashed emotion works well. Bauer's rhymed text brings to mind the poignant vulnerability of a mash note from a young child: "My mother is pretty./ My mother is brave./ My mother still loves me when I misbehave." But because the sentences are parceled out one per page, the effect is never cloying. Elwell's stunning, diaphanous pastel illustrations flirt with the conventions of calendar art: his characterizations are mostly grounded in a realistic appreciation of the natural world, but the gauzy surfaces and the intensity of the animals' expressions are the stuff of pure romanticism. A tiger mother beams with pride as she carries her pliant cub by the scruff of the neck; a vigilant mother horned owl is regarded with utter adoration by her little puffball baby. Unfortunately, the final sequence, showing a girl creating a greeting card for her mother, lacks the intensity of the animal illustrations; the child's expressions seem a bit clich d. An actual card bearing the same illustration as that on the girl's is included inside the back cover. Ages 1-5. (Apr.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Publishers Weekly "Author and artist explore the depths, delights and ferocity of the mother-child bond, and their foray into unabashed emotion works well," wrote PW. Ages 1-5. (Apr.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information. Fewer Reviews Children's Literature In a brief sentence for each two-page spread, children of various species tell something special about their mothers. There are rhymes along with the love expressed in these simple statements—"She holds me tight." "She never forgets to kiss me good night." This book is meant for reassuring reading and re-reading in a comfortable relationship. Elwell's naturalistic illustrations are simple scenes of each pair, including a young girl at the end, created with a fuzzy warmth that reinforces the text's message. The creatures are not named, but their identification could be part of the shared reading with pre-schoolers. A greeting card with one of the rhymes is included. 2001, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, $13.00. Ages 2 to 5. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-This book captures the warmth of a mother-child relationship in verse and illustrations. Each spread features a full-page picture of a baby animal interacting with its mother, along with a page of text explaining what makes that parent special. "My mother is soft" appears opposite two sheep cuddled together; "My mother is strong" shows a tiger carrying her cub in her mouth; and two owls sitting together on a branch illustrate "My mother watches me long and long." Young children will recognize the parallels between their own families and those of the animals, as a baby bird is given a worm ("My mother feeds me"), and a kangaroo rides safely inside its mother's pouch ("She holds me tight"). The soft focus of Elwell's pastel illustrations is well suited to the gentle rhythms of the text. The end of the book reveals a young girl drawing pictures of the animals, making a card for her mother with the inscription: "My mother is special./My mother is fine./My mother,/my mother,/my mother is mine!" A welcome addition to Mother's Day collections and family storytimes.-Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Kirkus Reviews In a sweetly sentimental ode to motherhood, with a gently rhyming text, Bauer (Grandmother's Song, 2000, etc.) extols the virtues of Mom, as seen through the eyes of a bevy of animal babies. The infants' encomiums reflect the distinct attributes of their particular species; a tiger cub's mother is strong while a ewe is soft, and a giraffe's mom is "tall and tall and tall." Bauer's simple text is a celebration of the multitude of tiny acts that define motherhood: loving hugs, watchful care, goodnight kisses. Elwell's softly hued, pastel illustrations radiate warmth; slightly blurred images artfully reflect the loving bonds between mother and child, regardless of the species. Each two-page spread contains an accolade printed in oversized text on a delicately colored background rendered in a palette of twilight colors: translucent lavender, soft sage, luminescent blue. On the facing page is a full-color, full-bleed illustration depicting a different mother and child. Elwell's studies encompass an array of animal life, both domestic and wild, featuring docile sheep, howling wolves, and leaping kangaroos, culminating in a tender portrayal of a human mother/daughter pair. This reverent tribute to a mother's devotion also serves to remind mothers of the extraordinary way their children perceive them. An inviting tale: just perfect for cozy moments and quiet read-alouds. (Greeting card included) (Picture book. 1-5)

比较喜欢,一边享受阅读乐趣,一边练习英语阅读能力。以下凑字数:《哈利·波特》系列小说被翻译成七十四种语言,在全世界两百多个国家累计销量达 哈利波特诞生地(20张)五亿多册,位列史上非宗教、市场销售类图书首位。《哈利·波特》系列共有七本,其中前六部以霍格沃茨魔法学校为主要舞台,描写的是主人公哈利·波特在霍格沃茨魔法学校六年的学习生活和冒险故事。第七本描写的是哈利·波特在校外寻找魂器并消灭伏地魔的故事。这个人物惊诧文学江湖,让数不清的读者为之倾倒,这不得不说是文学史上的一个奇迹。罗琳这个富有想象力的魔法妈妈带给了无数人欢笑与泪水,更带给了全世界的哈迷一个美丽的梦。让世界文学进入新的潮流。[1] 《哈利·波特》以其小说的闻名,带动了一系列相关文化内容的开发,包括电影,游戏,道具,相关玩具,系列景点,系列公园,游乐园,相关书籍,相关主题城市等。 墓地之战 时间:1995年6月 在哈利与塞德里克同时触摸到已经被修改为门钥匙的三强杯时,他们同时被带到了里德尔墓地。随之出现的虫尾巴杀死了塞德里克,并用哈利的血,老汤姆的骨头,和自己的右手为伏地魔创造了新的肉身。伏地魔在召唤出他的食死徒们后,递回哈利的魔杖,要求跟他决斗。哈利在闪回咒的帮助下死里逃生,带着塞德里克的尸体和三强杯回到了三强争霸赛赛场。 神秘事务司之战 时间:1996年6月 一群霍格沃茨的学生被伏地魔引诱至神秘事务司后,被一群食死徒逼近预言大厅。学生们由哈利·波特率领,是邓布利多军队(D.A.)的一部分;食死徒由卢修斯·马尔福率领,这群学生在贯穿神秘事务司一系列房间的战斗中遭受了无数的伤害,但也使他们的敌人遭受打击。然而,在凤凰社的一个小分队赶来使在死亡之室的战斗达到高峰时,学生们几乎被完全击败。最后,邓布利多亲自赶来并抓住了在场几乎所有的食死徒。伏地魔通过幻影移形进入魔法部,没有料到他的死敌也在场,于是他与邓布利多在魔法部大厅中进行了一场旷世决斗。伏地魔在决斗中失败并与贝拉特里克斯一起逃跑。双方均有伤亡,凤凰社一边的小天狼星·布莱克被贝拉特里克斯·莱斯特兰奇杀害。 塔楼之战 时间:1997年6月 利用一个有求必应屋的消失柜,德拉科·马尔福找到了一个将食死徒偷运进霍格沃茨的方法。他带领一伙食死徒来到天文塔对抗并打算杀死邓布利多,他知道邓布利多会被释放在塔楼上空的黑魔标记引诱至此。幸运的是,被哈利提醒的D.A.成员及被D.A.成员部署在城堡作为警卫的凤凰社成员及时赶到参加了战斗。在塔楼底下的走廊里爆发了激烈的战斗。马尔福和四个食死徒及后来的斯内普爬上塔楼对抗邓布利多。邓布利多在之前由于喝了毒药严重受伤无力反击,但马尔福仍然没有勇气杀死他,最终还是斯内普用杀戮咒杀死了邓布利多。在斯内普和马尔福逃跑过程中,哈利和海格紧紧追赶,但仍被食死徒们设法逃离了学校。战斗中有许多人受伤,特别是比尔·韦斯莱被狼人芬里尔·格雷伯克严重咬伤。 后来证实斯内普杀死邓布利多是几个月前两人共同策划的。在斯内普和马尔福逃跑过程中,哈利和海格紧紧追赶,但仍被食死徒们设法逃离了学校。战斗中有许多人受伤,特别是比尔·韦斯莱被狼人芬里尔·格雷伯克严重咬伤。 后来证实斯内普杀死邓布利多是几个月前两人共同策划的。
