本书为《哥妹俩》第七册,书中精湛的画工、个性鲜活的漫画人物、夸张幽默的表情动作以及时尚清新的版式设计,会让大小读者眼前一亮。不用担心孩子看不懂,精彩的漫画会帮助孩子理解故事。
故事情节引人入胜,基本上都用对话来表现,英文对白口语化,语法表述也很简洁,能激起孩子们的学习兴趣,而且纯英文的漫画故事比起双语读物能达到更好的阅读效果。中国孩子不是生活在英语环境中,想让他们自己主动拿起英语东东来读,简直就是不可能。很多孩子阅读双语读物时,要么只看后面的中文故事,要么只看看插图,英语部分根本看不进去。但这一套全英文的Kokko & May(《哥妹俩》)是一套孩子能看得进去的书。
利用这套漫画书学英语,更符合孩子语言学习的规律。
