15期1501 張雯-Vicky

今天介紹一本科普書，嚴格意義上來講，是一本分級讀物。Penguin Young Readers?精選了多種題材和種類的少兒讀物，其中包括了經典童話、小說，也有非虛構類作品比如人物傳記，題材豐富內容經典，該套書的另一大特色在于擁有一套科學合理的分級系統，由獨立書評家采用美國著名閱讀專家艾琳·方塔斯和蓋蘇·皮奈爾開發的標準，并以顏色分明的標簽明確標示。

這本書是朋友送的，我看是level 3,說是適合5-10歲，真的不假，Iris太愛了，因為里面很多有趣的現象竟然是真的。隨便感受一下下哈：

You are outside playing. And it starts to snow. Yippee!

But wait! There is something strange about this snow. It is dark pink! Pink snow? It is dark pink! Pink snow? Is it possible? Yes! Snow is not always white. Every once in a while snow can be a different color.

How does this happen? Snow is made in clouds. Sometimes strong winds pick up tiny bits of red soil and dust. These bits of soil are blown up into snow clouds. Snow forms around red soil. The snow looks dark pink!

Most people never see pink snow. It is very rare. It is very weird. But sometimes the weather does very weird things. It is very hot when it should be cold.

Or very cold when it should be hot. Or strange things rain down from the sky.

沒錯，我當時就覺得是一本小孩兒幻想的讀本，沒想到是我知識太匱乏了。。。當我讀到有frogs從天上下下來的時候，Iris簡直笑翻了：Sometimes the waterspout will move over dry land. When it starts to die out, the frogs or fish fall to the ground.還有一知己被龍卷風扒光了毛，光屁股在大街上走。。真不敢想象如此科普讀物，讀的這么有趣，在笑聲中就學到了科學。

一個人被雷電打過7次的人你信么？哈哈，真人真事哦。如果作為繪本拓展，提前準備一些真假問答題目，來個“知識競賽”，看看自個兒的娃是否真的是百科全書哦，相信孩子一定不覺得你是在考她，一起比比看，我知道的可真的沒有Iris多呢。。。
