Publishers Weekly Bauer (If You Were Born a Kitten) and Elwell (Three Brave Women) explore the depths, delights and ferocity of the mother-child bond and for the most part, their foray into unabashed emotion works well. Bauer's rhymed text brings to mind the poignant vulnerability of a mash note from a young child: "My mother is pretty./ My mother is brave./ My mother still loves me when I misbehave." But because the sentences are parceled out one per page, the effect is never cloying. Elwell's stunning, diaphanous pastel illustrations flirt with the conventions of calendar art: his characterizations are mostly grounded in a realistic appreciation of the natural world, but the gauzy surfaces and the intensity of the animals' expressions are the stuff of pure romanticism. A tiger mother beams with pride as she carries her pliant cub by the scruff of the neck; a vigilant mother horned owl is regarded with utter adoration by her little puffball baby. Unfortunately, the final sequence, showing a girl creating a greeting card for her mother, lacks the intensity of the animal illustrations; the child's expressions seem a bit clich d. An actual card bearing the same illustration as that on the girl's is included inside the back cover. Ages 1-5. (Apr.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Publishers Weekly "Author and artist explore the depths, delights and ferocity of the mother-child bond, and their foray into unabashed emotion works well," wrote PW. Ages 1-5. (Apr.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information. Fewer Reviews Children's Literature In a brief sentence for each two-page spread, children of various species tell something special about their mothers. There are rhymes along with the love expressed in these simple statements—"She holds me tight." "She never forgets to kiss me good night." This book is meant for reassuring reading and re-reading in a comfortable relationship. Elwell's naturalistic illustrations are simple scenes of each pair, including a young girl at the end, created with a fuzzy warmth that reinforces the text's message. The creatures are not named, but their identification could be part of the shared reading with pre-schoolers. A greeting card with one of the rhymes is included. 2001, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, $13.00. Ages 2 to 5. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-This book captures the warmth of a mother-child relationship in verse and illustrations. Each spread features a full-page picture of a baby animal interacting with its mother, along with a page of text explaining what makes that parent special. "My mother is soft" appears opposite two sheep cuddled together; "My mother is strong" shows a tiger carrying her cub in her mouth; and two owls sitting together on a branch illustrate "My mother watches me long and long." Young children will recognize the parallels between their own families and those of the animals, as a baby bird is given a worm ("My mother feeds me"), and a kangaroo rides safely inside its mother's pouch ("She holds me tight"). The soft focus of Elwell's pastel illustrations is well suited to the gentle rhythms of the text. The end of the book reveals a young girl drawing pictures of the animals, making a card for her mother with the inscription: "My mother is special./My mother is fine./My mother,/my mother,/my mother is mine!" A welcome addition to Mother's Day collections and family storytimes.-Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Kirkus Reviews In a sweetly sentimental ode to motherhood, with a gently rhyming text, Bauer (Grandmother's Song, 2000, etc.) extols the virtues of Mom, as seen through the eyes of a bevy of animal babies. The infants' encomiums reflect the distinct attributes of their particular species; a tiger cub's mother is strong while a ewe is soft, and a giraffe's mom is "tall and tall and tall." Bauer's simple text is a celebration of the multitude of tiny acts that define motherhood: loving hugs, watchful care, goodnight kisses. Elwell's softly hued, pastel illustrations radiate warmth; slightly blurred images artfully reflect the loving bonds between mother and child, regardless of the species. Each two-page spread contains an accolade printed in oversized text on a delicately colored background rendered in a palette of twilight colors: translucent lavender, soft sage, luminescent blue. On the facing page is a full-color, full-bleed illustration depicting a different mother and child. Elwell's studies encompass an array of animal life, both domestic and wild, featuring docile sheep, howling wolves, and leaping kangaroos, culminating in a tender portrayal of a human mother/daughter pair. This reverent tribute to a mother's devotion also serves to remind mothers of the extraordinary way their children perceive them. An inviting tale: just perfect for cozy moments and quiet read-alouds. (Greeting card included) (Picture book. 1-5)

就算怀着再复杂的爱去回望,没准儿也能气个半死,看着她在那条傻乎乎的路上跌跌撞撞前行,忍不住开口相劝,搞不好还会被她厌弃。你看天下的事情往往都是一厢情愿。当然我也忍住了各种吐槽,人总是要给自己留余地的,因为还有一种可能是,未来的自己回望现在,看见的还是一个人。好在现在不敢轻易放狠话了,所以总算显得比年轻的时候还有一分从容。非常喜欢在京东购物。东京梦华录》的作者是北宋的孟元老。孟元老,原名孟钺,号幽兰居士,开封市人。是孟昌龄的第四子, 曾任开封府仪曹,北宋末叶在东京居住二十余年。金灭北宋,孟元老南渡,常忆东京之繁华,于南宋绍兴十七年(1147)撰成《东京梦华录》。作为眼睁睁看着北宋覆灭的人,在落叶归根之年,时常忆起旧时繁华,实在不足为奇。买这本书,出于一个“缘”字。最近在家里时常翻阅中州古籍出版社出版的《白居易选集》,觉得无论是装帧,还是点评,都让人喜欢,朴素淡雅的装帧,排版得宜,恰到好处的讲解,既不会破坏读者的想象力,又很好地做了注释。翻到后面系列书籍里,一眼就看到了这个名字,东京梦华录。 我大约是对梦,对华字,相当地没有抵抗能力。倾尽一世繁华,留下的,有什么呢? 《东京梦华录》大致包括这几方面的内容:京城的外城、内城及河道桥梁、皇宫内外官署衙门的分布及位置、城内的街巷坊市、店铺酒楼,朝廷朝会、郊祭大典,当时东京的民风习俗、时令节日,饮食起居、歌舞百戏等等,几乎无所不包。全书三万字,为笔记体散记文,描述的是北宋古城——东京(开封)的繁华市景。开封在唐末称汴州,是五代梁、晋、汉、周的都城。北宋统一,仍建都于此,也称为汴京或东京。我最
