话说这娃越大，队伍就越不好带了啊。就拿我们家来说，读英文绘本主要靠老母亲的套路。这套路孩子读英文绘本，还是得投其所好。这不是，当崽子跟我说，妈妈你好久没讲交通工具绘本了，老母亲立马使出洪荒之力找出一本cue了六种交通工具的绘本，成功引起崽子的注意。一本绘本讲了一晚上，当天就自己叽里呱啦读了起来。是哪个宝藏绘本这么有魅力？一起来看看吧。
Down by the Station 是一首流传很广的英语国家儿歌，在Child's Play，鹅妈妈等童谣丛书中都有收录。本周我们选择的是Child's Play版的洞洞书，这本书细节众多，描述的是清晨火车站里的忙碌景象，六段童谣中的内容和对应的图片都略有不同，建议家长们在讲读的过程中指导小朋友主动寻找图片中的不同之处哦。
