It's night-time in the Animal Kingdom, and time for all the animal children to go to bed. But animal children are every bit as restless as their human counterparts. How do their parents help them to sleep?

What animal lullabies do they sing? Mandy Ross's original poems are linguistically rich and varied, creating affectionate and humorous sound-pictures out of an appealing mix of everyday language and nonsense words.

Her engaging word-play is admirably complemented by the vibrant watercolors of Krisztina Kallai Nagy. All children will love to imitate their favorite animals as they nestle to sleep, and the book finishes with a lullaby all human animals will love.


讀過或聽過《像這樣的吻》的人肯定會喜歡《動物搖籃曲》。透過聆聽有聲書和閱讀精美的繪本，寶寶能夠培養出創造力和閱讀的基礎。

本書內容豐富、主題多元，推薦搖籃曲有法文腔的「蟲子」、澳洲腔的「袋鼠寶寶」，以及加勒比亞腔的「鱷魚」。

書中收錄的搖籃歌曲能啟發孩子閱讀、算數、運用字彙的能力，並擴充孩子的字彙庫。

比較美中不足的是部份搖籃歌曲僅隨著背景音樂的節奏敘述內容，而不是以人聲唱出；不過，有聲書中有男聲有女聲，還有世界各地的不同腔調，小朋友一定會有興趣。
