Chinese and English Nursery Rhymes: Share and Sing in Two Languages


Description

Hey diddle diddle! It's no wonder that nursery rhymes appeal to us as children and stay with us throughout our lives: as Mother Goose has known for centuries, rhythm and rhyme are fun. And what could be a more enjoyable way for children and their parents to learn about a different culture and language, than through familiar rhymes and songs? These rhymes are put in pairs - a favourite from China, next to a favourite from the English-speaking world - to show how the themes kids love are the same, no matter where in the world they live. From animals to trains to playing together, there's plenty here to enjoy. You may know Hickory, dickory, dock...The mouse went up the clock. But do you know The little mouse climbed up the lamp...To find some oil to nibble? Do you know Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop...and Rocking the boat to grandma's house? Oh do you know the muffin man? If you do, then how about meeting Doughnuts for sale, along the streets? The playful, colourful illustrations bring the world of childhood sweetly to life for all ages. The English rhymes are given in English, and the Chinese rhymes are given in Chinese characters (simplified version) along with romanized pronunciations to help English speakers say them. They also include helpful English translations.

A mother knows when something is wrong with her child. If the problem is physical, she takes the child to a doctor. But if the problem is a misunderstanding of her child's mind, where does she turn for help? This is Ben's story. He was a happy, healthy boy -- a mother's dream come true. Yet by the age of three, Ben's development was significantly delayed: He couldn't make sense of the simplest phrases, and he still hadn't started talking. When Karen Foli finally took her son, The Filthy Thirteen: The True Story of the Dirty Dozen download ebook Ben, to a speech and hearing clinic, she was told that he was "probably retarded and perhaps autistic." But Karen knew that Ben was highly perceptive, even frustrated by his inability to communicate. Trusting her "mother's intuition," Karen set out on a journey to learn the truth about her son's condition...and what she found was APD. A person with auditory processing disorder receives jumbled and distorted sounds. But the ability to hear is usually normal. Even though it affects millions of Americans, APD can be difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat.
