李欧.李奥尼的很多书都在讨论自我认知，如何分辨自己和别人的差异，如何尊重这些差异，如何坚持自我的种种问题。这些问题对于中国人和育儿似乎更有针对性：每个人都是独特的，这是我们耳熟能详的道理，可是我们似乎同时也习惯了顺从和随大流的传统；每个孩子也是独特的，但我们还是在孩子不能循规蹈矩的同别人一样安分的时候难以抵挡心中的忧虑。或许，看看李欧的绘本，我们能对这些问题有更清晰和平和的认识。

李欧的绘本，更独特的是他的绘本创作手法。取材于各种纸（或其他材料），用撕、卷、剪的方式在构图。比如《一寸虫》《鳄鱼哥尼流》等。更有利于儿童的想象力培养！他的绘本之所以经典（价格有涨无跌），也是因为绘本本身的回味性！

Inch by Inch

By Leo Lionni

http://s9/mw690/005LfCAYgy6MfBmslCM58&690Inch by Inch" TITLE="【看绘本学英语】一寸虫 Inch by Inch" />

One day a hungry robin saw an inchworm, green as an emerald sitting on a twig. He was about to gobble him up.

“Don't eat me. I am an inchworm. I am useful. I measure things.”

“Is that so!” said the robin, “Then measure my tail.”

“That's easy,” said the inchworm.

“One, two, three, four, five inches.”

“Just think,” said the robin, “my tail is five inches long!”

And with the inchworm he flew to where other birds needed to be measured. 

The inchworm measured the neck of the flamingo.

He measured the toucan's beak,

the legs of the heron,

the tail of the pheasant and the whole hummingbird.

One morning the nightingale met the inchworm.

“Measure my song.” said the nightingale. 

“But how can I do that?” said the inchworm.“I measure things, not songs.”

“Measure my song or I eat you for breakfast.”said the nightingale.

Then the inchworm had an idea. 

“I will try.” he said, “Go ahead and sing.” 

The nightingale sang and the inchworm measured away.

He measured and measured… inch by inch… until he inched out of sight.
