People who can't stop drinking are called alcoholic. People who can't stop buying things are called shopholic. And I call myself - pictureobookholic for the reason that I can't stop buying picture books.

I think learning English through picture books is the most interesting way for young children. And I hope my work will always more or less relate to picture books telling.

I am trying to sort out of the picture books I have currently as I am getting confused with my collections. Got to get it done before moving to Hsin Chu so I can put them nicely in the bookshelf that Joe is going to prepare for me.

Kids make me puzzled sometimes...

Every time when I read a picture book to my kids, I always have a goal to achieve, such as teaching new vocabulary, or certain concepts.

Today I read a picture book - The Crocodile and the Dentist to my Grade 1 kids. The story is simple and straightforward so I decided to spend more time on the vocabulary that I want to teach them.

Through the story, the kids leared these 3 words -

Things that Wendy is obsessed with :P...

There are two things I am obsessed with - one is picture books and the other is bags. Unfortunately, both of them are costly and always cost me fortune.

I spent some time at the children's book department in 中友誠品店 last night. Too bad that I couldn't buy all the books I wanted last night so I could only take away some of them with me.

There is one picture book that when I saw it I wanted to buy it instantly coz it drew me back to my childhood memory. I can't remember where I saw it or who read it to me, but surely I want to have it so I can read it to my kids.

Reaindg at bedtime will set your child on the path to become a lifelong reader

Bedtime Stories

↑Benefits

Reading together is fun!
A story at bedtime relaxes your child
Reading and telling stories will help develop your child's imagination
Your child will look forward to bedtime
Reading at bedtime will set your child on the path to becoming a lifelong reader
A bedtime reading routine is an opportunity for quiet time with your child

↑Tips

Set a routine to establish familiarity.
A bedtime story should help your child sleep, so keep this in mind when choosing a book to read or a story to tell.
Falling asleep before the end of a story is frustrating. Plan to finish the story (or chapter) before your child is too tired to participate.
If you are reading a longer book, try to stop at the end of a chapter or section break within a chapter.
Keep the bedtime reading ritual to around twenty minutes, give or take.
Children love to revisit favorite books. Indulge them--reading at bedtime is about relaxation. Eventually your child will ask for a new story.

The Diary of Hansel and Gretel (Pop-up Book - 立體書)

原本學校計劃好的戶外教學因為颱風的關係被取消了,只好臨時找另外一個同事和我幫孩子上課.所以今天上了八堂的story class. 雖然喜歡講故事,但是連續講了八堂課我的喉嚨很不開心.

收藏的繪本裡有一本我好喜歡,喜歡到想要把它當作傳家之寶給他傳下去. 書名是 "The Diary of Hansel and Gretel". 它是由"糖果屋"的故事所改寫的一本立體書 (Pop-up Book).藉由Gretel寫日記的方式來敘述這個故事.孩子每次看到這本書都會很興奮,因為它是立體的, 所以對他們來說很稀奇.對於我,它不只是設計生動,還因為Gretel (妹妹)在改寫的故事裡聽起來"很大人",讓我覺得很有趣!

例如:
