月到中秋分外圆，中秋节Moon Festival 是中国三大传统节日之一，习俗上是全家团聚的日子。在这秋高气爽，明月皎洁的节日里，诗人最喜欢赏月吟诗，安娜就带着大家走进四首英文小童诗！

一．I See the Moon

I see the moon and the moon sees me；

God bless the moon and God bless me.

此韵文简单易背，适合幼儿，配合中秋节也可以将第二句更改为：

I eat the moon cake with a cup of tea。

二．Round

Round is the moon.

Bright in the sky。

Round is Mommy’s face.

Happy with a smile.

这首童诗讨论形状，并以孩子们常见的妈妈的笑脸来介绍round，是一首非常具有亲切感的小诗。

三．I Am Going to the Moon

Zoom, zoom, zoom.

I am going to the moon.

Zoom, zoom, zoom.

I’ll get there very soon.

If you want to take a trip.

Climb aboard my rocket ship。

Zoom, zoom, zoom.

I’m going to the moon!

颇具动感的月亮童诗，想象自己正搭乘太空船绕着月球跑。

四．Hey，Diddle, Diddle

Hey，Diddle, Diddle！

The cat and the fiddle.

The cow jumped over the moon.

The little dog laughed to see such sport.

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

这首诗选自鹅妈妈“Mother Goose”的经典童谣，内容滑稽，欢快。
