What would CHILDHOOD be like?
an ’all-you-can-eat’ tea party, a groovy musical fest, a ’shop till you drop’ trip, a little hectic emergency room, and more–
CHILDHOOD is a GREAT JOURNEY where the kids go wild in their imagination; where the days are filled with love and laughter.
童年喺邊度?童年……
喺飲飲食食嘅厨房裏;喺彈彈唱唱嘅派對上;
喺大賣特賣嘅超市裏;喺忙忙碌碌嘅診所裏……
美好嘅童年
唔會少咗細佬仔豐富嘅想象力;
唔會少咗細佬仔歡樂的笑聲……
From the Author
* A fantastic bilingual picture book in Cantonese and English! *
Both languages have their own structure and rhyme. Parents can read the book in the first language, and then lead the little one to read the second language. Let’s join us together in Bilingual reading in a fun way. Cantonese in this book is in spoken form which includes phrases that are used in daily conversation.
*一本適合親子趣讀的雙語(廣東話、英語)繪本。*
繪本的粵語和英文各成一律,各有韻味。作者建議讀者以單一語言展開閲讀。家長可以先選一種語言和孩子閲讀一邊,再鼓勵孩子們以另一種語言閲讀,以促進母語與第二語言的雙向學習。閲讀的同時,家長可以和孩子們聊一聊詩句的内容,針對童詩末端的提問發表意見,激發孩子們的邏輯思維能力。
繪本以朗朗上口的廣東話爲主,帶著濃濃的特色,鼓勵讀者學習各種日常生活中的詞句。
