“The world is big…and I am small.”
“The world is fast…and I am small.”
“The ocean is deep…and I am small.”………
這是Emma Dodd的繪本《Me…》中一隻小企鵝的想法，從一個baby penguin的眼中，世界真的很大！天是這麼高，海是這麼深，山這麼高！ 世界實在太大太雄偉了！而我一隻小小的企鵝 I am small. 相較之下真是太小了！
除了高高的天、深深的海、高峻的山嶺，小企鵝還得面對種種考驗，寒風暴雪的冬天
- The wind is strong….and I am small.
- The winter is long… and I am small.
遙望高高天際的星星，
- The sky is high…and I am small.
- The stars stretch far…and I am small
這些浩瀚的星際宇宙高山大海，These things are big and long and deep, and strong and high and far and steep…. 小企鵝落寞的說and I am small.
但在小企鵝的媽媽的眼中But you are big and you are kind. 這頁圖畫非常溫馨感人！ 我們 看到小企鵝舒服地裹在媽媽的雙腳中，媽媽慈愛的說 When I’m with you, I do not mind. 媽媽的話給小企鵝很大的愛和溫暖，I may be small, 但他可以看到在媽媽的眼中,世界上最寶貴的 but I can see the biggest thing to you……. is me!
文本內文的反覆形式讓文字朗朗上口，畫風用色溫暖讓本來冷颼颼的企鵝棲息地也溫暖了許多，尤其結尾溫馨感人！在無垠海洋、崇山峻嶺、廣闊天空前，小企鵝一直覺得自己很渺小， I am small.但是誰令小企鵝無懼困難？But you are big and you are kind. When I’m with you, I do not mind. 是媽媽的愛啊！是媽媽的愛讓小企鵝迎向一切I may be small, but I can see the biggest thing to you……. is me !
文本內文的反覆句I am small. 和本週讀本I am a…同時學習最基本的主詞+Be動詞，不但認識常見字sight words: I ,am, 也能藉著繪本讀本自然讓孩子學習基本文法I am…
Classroom Activity
老師讓學生寫出繪本中的所有形容詞如: big, strong, deep… 讓學生造句The ocean is deep. The world is big. The wind is strong. 再對比and I am small.
Home Activity
媽媽和孩子合讀繪本媽媽讀前半句孩子讀I am small. 最後再合讀 But you are big and you are kind. When I’m with you, I do not mind. I may be small, but I can see the biggest thing to you……. is me!
