文·图╱【美】艾诺·洛贝尔 艾诺·洛贝尔是当代尊重儿童智慧的作家之一，他的作品除了温馨，带点茶香的趣味之外，对于传统被认为是高层次思考才能接触的哲学论题，例如：勇气、意志力、友谊的本质、死惧、智慧等，都能够用具体的影像、说闲话的语气，数落出来，让读者常常会发出“啊！”的感叹。他的作品，每一篇都可以作为儿童哲学的教材。 洛贝尔出生于1933年5月29日，1987年12月4日离开这个世界。他去世时，在美国《纽约时报》登了一则启事，大意是说：“如果你们想念我，请不要立基金会、奖学金、纪念碑之类的，请你们读我的书，因为我就在里面。”洛贝尔曾说，创作对他而言非常不容易，但是想到每天在这世界上，都有人坐在那里读他的书，欣赏他的故事，他就非常高兴，他爱为小孩做书。 译╱王林 儿童文学博士、儿童阅读研究者，语文教育研究者，信谊图画书奖发起人之一。编著有《幼儿文学》《...(展开全部)

While econo...(展开全部)
