The Very Busy Spider


忙碌的夏天...知了睡了, 蜘蛛沒有睡



大清早,蜘蛛就開始忙著在農場的籬笆上織網,


(感謝苦力思老師)


馬來找她去兜風,牛來找她去吃草,綿羊想找她到草地上跑一跑,山羊找她到岩石上跳一跳,豬約她到泥地上打打滾兒,


 



但是她很專心織她的網,都沒有回答他們,最後公雞要她幫忙捉蒼蠅,蜘蛛也沒有回答她,



但是她的網織好了,捉到了蒼蠅。


(黃蓉是妳同學, "黃藥師"是我同學)


耶! 剛從長春藤畢業又要讀猴子幼稚園.



這個夏天還真是忙碌啊...好累.

Every young child should be introduced to this story, as great a classic as its predecessor The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This colourful picture book describes a spider's day. Blown onto a farmyard fence, she starts to spin a web. The other animals ask if she wants to play, but in every case "The spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web." The book is "touchable:" the strands of web and other elements are embossed onto the page and you can follow them with your fingertips. But the best thing by far is Carle's familiar--but still breathtaking--skill as an illustrator; his cow and goat and dog (just to mention three favourites) capture the essence of each animal in a way few artists can hope to approach.
