16cm×16cm×8mmのハードカバー。
Dick BrunaのMiffyのシリーズで、1冊が薄い絵本です。
自分が幼い頃持っていた「うさこちゃん」に子育てで再会です🐰
娘の時にちょうどmiffy生誕50周年で、
グッズがお店に並んだり、
デパートの催事でイベントがあったり、
TVでも放映され、二重音声で英語で見れました。
右ページはカラフルでシンプルな絵。
左ページは文字のみ。
Miffyにも読者にも語りかける口調のとても落ち着いた文章が、
安心と、想像力や、優しさを育ててくれる気がします。
One day a letter came for Miff
inviting her to stay
it was a letter from her friend
and Miffy said ...hurray!
お友達から、お泊まりのお誘いのお手紙を受け取るシーンから始まります。
クリスマスカードや年賀状みたいに、郵便のお手紙だなんて、
それだけでスペシャル感満載ですよね!
Her mother took her to the bus
but she got in alone.
バス停まで連れて行ってもらって、
えー!?、あとは一人!?
Miffy was thinking as she sat
when will the journey end?
心細い不安な気持ちが伝わってきますが、
she looked outside and at the stop
she saw her little friend.
バス停で出迎えてくれてるお友達が見えたら、
ドキドキは一気にワクワクになりますね!
この絵本から学べて使える表現は盛りだくさんです♪
■会話
We saw you siting there.
How nice to see you here.
Where has Miffy gone?
You go first.
Show me how.
I'll watch.
It was our Miffy's turn.
Miffy did not fall.
Look, Miffy's working hard.
■遊び
Just talked.
They had so much to say.
They played at hide-and-seek.
They played at ‘tag’
running across the lawn.
They went roller-skating.
They spent the afternoon indoors
with scissors and some card.
They cut some splended maskes.
They went to bed.
■感想/気持ち
That was reall fun.
Miff had never done.
She found it very difficult.
The evening hours were jolly too
at bath time.
シリーズ、この先続きます〜
