Puffin精選70本童書

The Puffin Handbook is the perfect little guide to the 70 best books for children...

最近一直在看童書，或是聽有聲書

很喜歡Penguin & Puffin設計的書封面

10月份Puffin的100張經典書籍封面明信片也將上市了

2009年買了Penguin的明信片，但是因為很少寫明信片

打算用來寫讀書心得。

暫時不考慮入手Puffin明信片（雖然封面更童趣很吸引人）

一生的讀書計畫

一生的讀書計畫  ◎ 詹宏志專欄 : admin : 2004/12/02
喜歡讀書的人一定跟書發生過美好的經驗，不是因為有很好的計畫，是因為有一個美好的經驗。美好經驗一直在督促著我們，誘引、召喚著我們，讓我們越過 星星、太陽、月亮，一本一本的追蹤而去……

《一生的讀書計畫》(The Lifetime Reading Plan)，這是一位著名的老編輯─克里夫頓‧費迪曼所編寫的一本書。他曾是大英百科全書編輯委員會的主席，也是著名的「每月一書」(Book of the Month) 讀書俱樂部，選書委員會的委員之一，是位資深且受藝文界敬重的老編輯。
他在一九六○年寫了《一生的讀書計畫》一書（中文版最早由志文出版社出版，譯者為李永熾教 授。受限於當時的政治閱讀環境，只譯了其中的八十六種書，西方經典中有社會主義傾向、色彩的，或對社會理論的形成有重要影響的著作，當時的版本裡並沒有翻 譯，一直到目前為止都尚未彌補這個缺憾！）。

在書裡，他開了張經他精挑細選後，才產生的一百本書的書單，熱情的推薦給他的讀者，告訴我們，世界中有些書，一生起碼要閱讀一次，並且時時刻刻都要 回歸到這些書當中，這就是所謂的書中「經典」。……

100 Best Books for Children 最棒的百本童書

美國知名童書編輯Anita Silvey的經典作品100 Best Books for Children。藉由博客來的Silvey<<最棒的100本童書>>活動，正好幫 我整理經典童書的書單。以年齡作為主要的分類，從硬頁書、繪本…到高年級以上的適讀書單，書中並附有每本書的內容與背景介紹。
從經典童書讀起，很適合「丟掉字典學英語」中SSS(Start with simple stories)的學習法。雖然「丟」裡面的翻譯在「朗文出版社(Longman)」竟然很不專業地索性翻成「長人出版 社」實在很糟糕，害的我很想退這本書。介紹語言學習的書，竟然連Longman中文名稱都不知道，也不查證。是本書的一大敗筆，其餘書中所介紹的方式，我 是很認同的。就如成寒老師所言，「小一不能讀小六」，不只是在聽力部份，在閱讀部份也是一樣，總不能一開始就看Time時代雜誌，或是較艱深的世界經典名 著「安娜卡列尼娜」之類的。
