今日送上第一篇——《飘着幽灵的小房子》：

Ghosts in the House!   (这本书的英文版有两个版本，书名不同，内容一样，另一版叫 The haunted House ）

Once there was a girl who went to live in a big old house at the edge of town.

It was a splendid place, but there was one problem.

The house was... ...haunted!

But the girl wasn't just a girl.She was a witch!

She knew how to catch ghosts.

"How lovely," she said. "I hope there are some more!"

And there were.

She carried on until she had caught all the ghosts in the house.

Then she went to the kitchen... ...and put them all in the washing machine.

When they were clean she hung them out in the garden.

It was fine weather for drying.

After drying, most of the ghosts became nice curtains.

One of them made a good tablecloth.

They were all very useful.

The little witch began to feel very tired after her hard work.

She knew just what to do with the last two ghosts...

And they all lived happily ever after.

I Like Me!
孩子们经常会在一些场合要来一段自我介绍，
这个绘本题目虽然是I like me， 但是稍作修改，
就是一篇非常有个性的自我介绍哦！
I have a best friend.
That best friend is me！
I do fun things with me.
I draw beautiful pictures.
I ride fast！
And I read good books with me！
I like to take care of me.
I brush my teeth.
I keep clean and I eat good food.


When I get up in the morning I say，
“Hi，good-looking！”
I like my curly tail，my round tummy，
and my tiny little feet.


When I feel bad，I cheer myself up.
When I fall down，I pick myself up.
When I make mistakes，I try and try again！


No matter where I go，or what I do，
I’ll always be me，and I like that！！！

Round Trip

We started out as soon as it was light.


Our neighborhood was quiet the house was dark.
The sun shone on the pond.


Town was empty，
the stores still closed.


We passed a small farm in the valley，


and fields of wheat.
We counted the cars of a train.


The road wound through the mountains.
Trails led into the woods.


On the highway we headed for the coast.
The water was rough the waves high.
We followed the shore past marshy inlets and summer cottages.


Then we saw the city.
We crossed a bridge
and we were there.
After parking the car we rode the subway.
Then we went to a movie
and to the top of the tallest building.
We looked down.


We watched as the sun set.
Time to turn around.


The sky was dark. Lights came on all over the city.


Back on the street we looked up at where we had been.
Then we had dinner in a restaurant
and picked up our car from the garage.


We left the shining starlit city.
In the country telephone poles lined the road.
We looked back.
Searchlights pierced the sky.


We saw fireworks and stopped to watch.
As the smoke from the fireworks drifted away and the birds resettled in the trees we drove on.
We went under an expressway.


Lightning flashed across the sky.
It rained hard and puddles formed.


We passed smoky factories.
We took the tunnel under the river


and soon saw our moonlit streets.


Home again.

Rumpelstiltskin

Once there was a poor miller who had a beautiful daughter.

02 - On his way to town one day, the miller encountered the king. Wanting to impress him, the miller said, "I have a daughter who knows the art of spinning straw into gold."
Now, the king had a passion for gold, and such an art intrigued him. So he ordered the miller to send his daughter to the castle straightaway.
When the girl was brought before him, the king led her to a room that was filled with straw. He gave her spools and a spinning wheel, and said, "You may spin all night, but if you have not spun this straw into gold by morning, you will have to die." With that, he locked the door, and the girl was left inside, alone.

03 - There sat the poor miller's daughter, without the slightest idea how anyone could spin straw into gold. For the life of her she did not know what to do. She grew more and more frightened, and then she began to weep.
03R - Suddenly the door sprang open and a tiny man stepped in.
"Good evening, Mistress Miller," he said. "Why are you sobbing?"
"Oh," the girl cried, "I must spin this straw into gold and I don't know how."

04 - "What will you give me if I spin it for you?" the little man asked.
"My necklace," answered the girl.
The little man took her necklace and sat down at the spinning wheel. He pulled three times--whir! whir! whir!--and the spool was wound full of gold thread. He fitted another spool on, and--whir! whir! whir!--three pulls and that one too was full. And so it went until morning, when all the straw was spun and all the spools were full of gold.

05 - When the king came at sunrise, he was amazed and delighted, but all that gold only made him greedier. So he led the miller's daughter to a larger room filled with straw, and he ordered her to spin this straw too before dawn, if she valued her life.

06 - The girl did not know what to do. She began to weep. Once more the door opened and the little man stepped in. "What will you give me if I spin this straw into gold for you?" he asked.
"The ring on my finger," answered the girl, and the little man took her ring. The he set the spinning wheel whirring, and before the night was over, he had spun all the straw into gleaming gold.

07 - Shortly after sunrise, the king returned. Piles of golden spools glowed in the morning light. The king rejoiced at the sight of so much gold, but still he was not satisfied.
He led the miller's daughter to a third, even bigger room that was filed high with straw. "Tonight you must spin this straw too," ordered the king. "And if you succeed, you shall become my wife." Because, he thought, I could not find a richer wife in all the world.

08 - When the king had left, the little man appeared for the third time. "What will you give me if I spin for you yet once more?" he asked.
"I have nothing else," the girl replied.
"Then promise that when you become queen, your first child will belong to me."
The miller's daughter gasped. How could she promise such a thing? Then she thought, but who knows whether that will ever happen? And as she could think of no other way to save herself, she promised, and the little man once again spun all the straw into gold.

09 - When the king came in the morning and found everything as he had wished, he married the miller's beautiful daughter, and she became a queen.

10 - a year passed, and the queen brought a handsome baby boy into the world. She gave scarcely a thought to the little man. But one day he appeared suddenly in her room. "Now give me what you promised me," he demanded.
The queen pleaded with the little man: He could take all the royal treasure if he would only let her keep her child. But her pleading was in vain. Then she began to weep so piteously that at last the little man was moved.
"I will give you three days," he said, "If by the end of that time you know my name, you may keep your child."

11 - Long into the night the queen sat, and through the next day, thinking over all the names she had ever heard.
That evening the little man returned. Beginning with Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, the queen recited every name she knew, one after another. But to each one the little man replied, "That is not my name."

12 - The second day the queen had inquiries made in town, searching for new names. And when the little man came that evening, she posed the strangest and most unusual ones to him. She tried Beastyribs and Leg O'Ram and Stringbones--but he would only reply, "That is not my name."

13 - Now the queen grew truly frightened, and she sent her most faithful servant into the woods to look for the little man. The servant searched through thickets and over clearings, deep into the forest. At last, near the top of a high hill, she spied him.

14 - He was riding on a cooking spoon around a great fire, and crying out:
I brew my beer, I bake my loaves,
And soon the queen's own son I'll claim.
O lucky me! For no one knows
That Rumpelstiltskin is my name!
The servant made her way back as fast as she could manage and at midday reached the castle. You can imagine how glad the queen was when she heard the name.

15 - Late that evening the little man arrived. "Now, Mrs. Queen," he said, "do you know my name or do I take the child?"
So the queen asked him, "Is your name Will?"
"No."
"Is your name Phil?'
"No."
"In that case, is your name Rumpelstiltskin?"
"The Devil told you that! The Devil told you that!" shrieked Rumpelstiltskin. And in a fury he jumped on his cooking spoon and flew out the window.

16 - And he never was heard from again.

《和我一起玩》 (1956年 凯迪克银奖绘本)
PLAY WITH ME
The sun was up and there was dew on the grass And I went to the meadow to play.

A grasshopper sat on the leaf of a weed. He was eating it up for his breakfast.
"Grasshopper," I said, "will you play with me?" And I tried to catch him, but he leaped away.
A frog stopped jumping and sat down by the pond. I think he was waiting to catch a mosquito.
"Frog," I said, "will you play with me?"And I tried to catch him, but he leaped away too.

A turtle was sitting on the end of a log. He was just sitting still, getting warm in the sun.
"Turtle," I said, "will you play with me?"
But before I could touch him he plopped into the water.

A chipmunk was sitting beneath the oak tree,
Shelling an acorn with his sharp little teeth.
"Chipmunk," I said, "will you play with me?"
But when I ran near him, he ran up the tree.

A blue jay came and sat down on a bough,
And jabbered and scolded the way blue jays do.
"Blue Jay," I said, "will you play with me?"
But when I held up my hands he flew away.

A rabbit was sitting behind the oak tree.
He was wiggling his nose and nibbling a flower.
"Rabbit," I said, "will you play with me?"
And I tried to catch him, but he ran to the woods.

A snake came sneaking through the grass,
Zigzagging and sliding the way snakes do.
"Snake," I said, "will you play with me?"
But even the snake ran away, down his hole.

None of them, none of them, would play with me.
So I picked a milkweed and blew off it's seeds.

Then I went to the pond and sat down on a rockand watched a bug making trails on the water.
And as I sat there without making a sound,
Grasshopper came back and sat down beside me.
Then Frog came back and sat down in the grass.
And slowpoke Turtle crawled back to his log.
And Chipmunk came and watched me and chattered.
And Blue Jay came back to his bough overhead.
And Rabbit came back and hopped around me.
And Snake came out of his hole.
And as I sat there without making a sound (So they wouldn't get scared and run away),
Out of the bushes where he had been hiding
Came a baby fawn, and looked at me.

I held my breath and he came nearer.
He came so near I could have touched him.
But I didn't move and I didn't speak.
And Fawn came up and licked my cheek.

Oh, now I was happy - as happy could be!
For all of them - ALL OF THEM - were playing with me.
