今天渼淇學(xué)習(xí)英文字母I的書寫和自然拼讀，學(xué)習(xí)了幾個(gè)以I為首的英文單詞。我就挑了這本書給他們講，讓孩子們能記得iguana-蜥蜴。

Karen Kaufman Orloff is the author of many books for children including?I Wanna Iguana,?I Wanna New Room, and?I Wanna Go Home, all inspired by her son's pet iguana who quickly grew to be over four feet long and take over his room.?

Alex just has to convince his mom to let him have an iguana, so he puts his arguments in writing. The boy pulls out all the stops in his arguments: iguanas are quiet and cute, they are not ugly. He promises that she won't have to feed it or clean its cage or even see it if she doesn't want to. But his mom imagines that they will live with a six-foot-long iguana in they house. Alex's reassurances: It takes fifteen years for an iguana to get that big. I'll be married by then and probably living in my own house. And his mom's replies: How are you going to get a girl to marry you when you own a giant reptile??

At the end, his dear mom puts a baby iguana in his room, of cause!

雖然整個(gè)繪本的插畫我并不是特別喜歡，因?yàn)閷徝澜嵌炔灰粯?，但是不影響孩子們欣賞。而且母親和兒子之間的書面往來(lái)、相互辯論，母親一步步引導(dǎo)孩子將養(yǎng)蜥蜴這件看似很有趣的事情細(xì)化再細(xì)化，確保兒子能正確的認(rèn)識(shí)養(yǎng)一只蜥蜴不可以是一時(shí)的沖動(dòng)，需要考慮到會(huì)發(fā)生的各種情況，而且不能指望別人幫你善后。而兒子也很聰明的回答了媽媽提出的問(wèn)題，將問(wèn)題一一拆解，他們這種親子溝通方式我覺(jué)得很值得學(xué)習(xí)。兒子并沒(méi)有撒嬌或要挾媽媽，而媽媽也尊重兒子，一直都就事論事的方式與兒子進(jìn)行探討，她的這種對(duì)孩子的尊重正是我們中國(guó)媽媽們需要學(xué)習(xí)的智慧。
