母亲节来临，10本经典母爱英文绘本，你都读过了吗？
自从生下宝宝以后，更深刻地体会到母亲的伟大，每天忙碌于工作与家庭、丈夫和孩子，真恨不得自己有三头六臂或者是无数个分身可以替自己分担，小时候最喜欢的事就是躺在妈妈怀里，让妈妈帮我掏耳朵，渐渐长大以后，已经很久没和妈妈像小时候那样亲密了。
今年的5月8日是母亲节，也是我当了妈妈以后度过的第二个母亲节，借此机会整理了十本有关母亲的英文绘本，祝愿全天下的母亲们都能健康快乐，永远幸福！

In simple verse, baby animals praise the attributes of their mothers and one little girl does the same. A baby robin loves how her mother feeds her worms, a baby kangaroo loves how tightly his mother holds him, and a baby giraffe loves how tall her mother is. Of all the special reasons why a mother is so special, baby loves her mother because her mother belongs only to her.
这本色彩柔和的床前故事书，像是一篇篇押韵的小诗！而书中主角，则都是以母亲为主题。My mother is soft.（The mother is a sheep.）My mother is strong.（The mother is a tiger.） My mother is brave.（The mother is a bear.）My mother still loves me when I misbehave. （The mother is a cat.）它将phonics 巧妙融入于文章之中，并藉由各种动物的特质，彰显了母爱的伟大！本书超越了ㄧ般主观人类的思维限制，将所有动物的母爱展现出来，是既温馨又让人感动的绘本童书。

Well then Little Nutbrown Hare loves him right up to the moon, but that's just halfway to Big Nutbrown Hare's love for him.

最后是大名鼎鼎的鹅妈妈童谣，英文启蒙怎么能少得了她呢！如果说，每个小朋友都是在「摇呀摇 摇到外婆桥」、「小老鼠上灯台」等儿歌吟诵长大吋，那么英语系国家的小朋友们就是在「鹅妈妈」的陪伴下一路长大。
「鹅妈妈」是什么呢？它不是一只鹅的故事，也不是一个人的名字，它是流传在英国各地儿歌童谣的总称。这些透过口耳相传的童谣，每一首都有二、三百年的历史，总数约有二千多首，内容是五花八门、包罗万象，有应景应时的歌曲、摇篮歌、游戏歌、学习歌和猜谜歌等等。这些童谣的声韵活泼，用字遣词自由、生动，内容饶富趣味，让它们能历经百年的考验而不衰。
