任何曾经尝试过学英语的人都知道,我们语言中的许多单词具有多种含义。这本令人振奋的书将这个概念提升到了一个新的高度,说明了一些同形异义词有多么令人惊讶。Mirja Winkelmann的精美插图在醒目的彩色双页跨页中向读者发出挑战,要求他们找到一个适合两张图片的单词。泳衣和大象的鼻子,或花朵和眼睛的中心:建立这些视觉联系——并想出更多的联系将激发小读者们对语言的热情。
This witty collection of smart, quirky word pairings shows young readers that homonyms can be a blast (not that kind of blast). Anyone who has ever tried to learn English knows that many of our language’s words have more than one meaning. This exciting book takes that idea to a new level, illustrating just how surprising some homonyms can be. In bold, colorful double-page spreads Mirja Winkelmann’s delightful illustrations challenge readers to find the one word that fits both images. Swimwear and an elephant’s nose, or a flower and the center of an eye: making these visual connections—and thinking up even more—will spark a passion for language in young readers.
