经典的童话，是孩子学习与成长中精美的精神食粮。正如《萤火虫-世界经典童话双语绘本》的引言中所述：“经典的童话就像在童年的天空中飞舞的萤火虫，在黑夜里留下光的足迹，在孩子的心里点亮一盏盏灯，让他们在成长的旅途中不会迷失方向。”

   小红帽，这个家喻户晓的童话，依依的妈妈、爸爸、姥姥、姥爷都给她讲过。英文版本，听了大概也不少于20遍了。依依对这个故事的情节已经慢慢消化和理解了。现在在家没事的时候，依依自己有时会打扮成小红帽的样子。我问依依：”你是谁呀？”答：“小红帽呀。”
   “那我是谁呢？”依依说：“你是大灰狼呀。”我听了虽然觉得很有趣，也有点不满。对依依的这个分配，我有点不甘心，怎么我就只能演个反面角色大灰狼呢。我就接着问依依：“那妈妈演谁呢？”。依依答：“姥姥呀。” 哈哈，妈妈听了似乎也有点不情愿，我有那么老吗？不过父母为了能当主角，似乎只能由着她这样来分配了。于是我们三个人就在客厅自编自导室内剧《小红帽》。

   今天早上，尽管星期六了，妈妈依然有事在忙呢，没时间陪我们玩，只能两个人玩了。

   这是依依学着小红帽的样子打扮自己，把帽子戴好，把围巾围上，还从柜子里把篮子找出来。瞧，小依依正在给姥姥准备好吃的面包、果酱和水果呢。

  （依依自己做游戏的能力比较好，不用我们来安排，依依从厨房拿来了真的水果和蔬菜做道具。我都没注意，依依在篮子里面不但放了梨，还把土豆放在里面了。演出结束，依依忘了把水果和土豆还回去，妈妈做菜时找土豆都找不到了。）

   一个人高高兴兴地走上去姥姥家的路上了。

  在森林里遇上了大灰狼！（大灰狼就是爸爸我在演呢，今天我还兼着摄影师呢。）

 “小红帽，篮子里的东西，都是妈妈买的，你给姥姥准备了什么礼物呢？ ”

去树林里采一些鲜花送给姥姥吧。

   好了，作为依依的英语老师，还是回到英语学习的这个话题吧。小红帽这个童话有很多英文版本，不但有图书，还有音频，学习资源非常丰富。
   以前我担心买书不要买重了，后来发现一些经典的童话故事，家里不知不觉中已经有好几个不同的版本了。不过我感觉重复有重复的好处。对于同一个故事，用不同的表达方式来讲述出来，无论对于故事的理解，还是对于孩子的语言发育，是有好处的。

    下面这几个版本的《小红帽》，都很好听，可以放给孩子反复听，丰富孩子的理解力，增强孩子的想象力。

1.黑猫出版社《Early reads》版本

   依依从小就很喜欢听Black cat出版的一套初级儿童读物 Early reads。听的比较多的是里面的《拔萝卜》、《丑小鸭》、《野生动物园》（A trip to the Safari Park）。我最喜欢给依依播放这个英文版本的《小红帽》。

   只是这个版本我们只有录音，没有纸质的书，所以每次听的时候，我都是对照《萤火虫》和Richard Scarry《金色童书》版本的绘本来给依依讲。Early reads的特点是，始终由一个人播音员来朗读，读的清晰而又纯正，每个音、每个词、每句话都没有一丝的模糊，我感觉对孩子这样的语音语调很好掌握，容易把整个故事的发音印在脑海中。
   Early reads录音是纯正的英音，对于孩子了解和熟悉英音非常有益。
   这个故事的黑猫版英文部分是这样的：

Little Red Riding Hood is at home with her mum. They’re in the kitchen.
“Yum, Yum! What lovely bread!”says Little Red Riding Hood. “I want to take some bread to Grandma!”
“Good idea! It is lovely bread!” says mum.  “oh! and take some jam to Grandma, too!”says mum. It’s in the cupboard .”
“Here’s the basket for the bread and jam!” says Little Red Riding Hood.
The sun is in the sky.
There are birds in the trees.
There are rabbits in the grass.
There are a lot of flowers.
Little Red Riding Hood stops.
She wants to look at the butterflies.
She wants to pick some flowers ,too.
She wants to take some flowers to her Grandma!
 
“Oh! OH! A wolf! Behind the apple tree!”says Little Red Riding Hood.” help! Help! ”
“It’s ok, little girl, It’s ok!” says the wolf . ‘I’m a good wolf, Who are you?”

“It’s me, Grandma! Little Red Riding Hood!”says the wolf . “please open the door!”
 
“Little Red Riding Hood?”says Grandma .” No! It isn’t you! It isn’t you! It isn’t Little Red Riding Hood.
“Yes ,Grandma. It is me! It’s me, Little Red Riding Hood! says the wolf .”Please open the door!”

Grandma jumps out of bed!
She runs to the wardrobe!
She hides in the wardrobe.
The Wolf opens the door and goes into Grandma’s house.
Grandma isn’t in her bed.
Little Red Riding Hood  knocks on the door of Grandma's house.
“Hello! Hello, Grandma! It’s me , Little Red Riding Hood! Please open the door!”says Little Red Riding Hood . “I’ve got some flowers for you.And I’ve got some bread and some jam in my basket for you. Please open the door!”
“Oh, Little Red Riding Hood! I’m in bed ,Please open the door and come in.”says the wolf.
Little Red Riding Hood opens the door and goes into Grandma’s house.
The wolf is in Grandma’s bed.
“Hello.Grandma ,Hello…Grandma, is it you? what big eyes you’ve got!” says Little Red Riding Hood. “Yes,dear !All the better to SEE you with! Says the wolf.
“Grandma! What big ears you’ve got!” says Little Red Riding Hood.
“Yes,dear ! All the better to HEAR  you with! Says the wolf.
“Grandma! Grandma! What a big mouth you’ve got!” says Little Red Riding Hood.
“Yes,dear !All the better to EAT  you with! Says the wolf.
“Help! Help! Where’s my Grandma ?Where’s my Grandma?”says Little Red Riding Hood. “The big bad wolf is in my Grandma’s bed.Help! Help!”
Little Red Riding Hood runs to the door .The wolf runs after Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood runs into the garden.
She sees a woodcutter.
“Help!Help! Mr Woodcutter, please help me!Grandma isn’t in the house! The big bad wolf  is in Grandma’s house! Says Little Red Riding Hood.
The woodcutter sees the wolf.

Grandma comes out.
"Now let’s have the bread and jam!" says Grandma.
Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma and the woodcutter all sit down.
"Mmm, I love bread and jam!" says Little Red Riding Hood.

2 萤火虫《世界经典童话双语绘本》版本
   这是外研社请国内画家绘制的一套绘本。每一页中，中文在上，英文在下，中英文各占一半。录音是美音，印刷制作都很精美。全套书总共15本，都是很熟悉的经典童话，是我买来作为礼物送给女儿依依的。这套书的好处是真正的利用双语，用中文和英文都可以讲，所以使用率就比较高。很多开始用英语不太容易理解的童话，可以对照这套书，先用中文给孩子讲解一遍。
  这套书有中文和英文的录音，英语部分也是英音。我觉得这个版本的英文部分对依依目前显得偏长，因此就没重点来听。对这一本书看得倒是比较多，在播放别的版本录音的时候，我们也喜欢拿着这本书来看。

  这套书的中文部分是由中央台的播音员录制的。我曾经梦想着通过中央台播音员那甜美纯正的声音，能节省父母亲子导读的时间，可后来听姥姥说，对新的故事放录音的时候她根本不听。看来再好听的声音也没有父母的声音吸引孩子。

3《童话盒子》版本
   《童话盒子》是外研社引进的一套分级读物。共三级，每一级包括5个童话故事，总共15个经典童话。

    小红帽是《童话盒子.有声双语绘本》(第一级)里面的第二个故事。
    这个改写的版本词汇量不大，易于小朋友学习。录音好听，是很纯正的英音。而且象机灵狗有“汪”的一声提示一样，童话盒子是用叮当的声音来提示小朋友翻书。
    我听过《童话盒子》里面的几个故事，录制的都不错，是非常值得学习一套儿童读物。 不过众口难调，我看当当、卓越的书评中，有些家长对格林童话就很反对，有的家长担心情节过于暴力。不过我自身的感受，女儿依依对这些吃掉和剪刀把肚子剪开的情节没那么恐怖。童话毕竟是童话，连故事都承受不了，以后怎么去面对更复杂更有挑战的生活？

4《Reading House》版本
   Reading House分为三级的18个童话，深受小朋友们的喜欢。这组童话和《童话盒子》与《萤火虫》尽管在名字上大部分都重复，不过在内容和形式却有较大差别。
    Little Red Riding Hood是Reading house 的18个童话中的第10个。
   这个版本的录音是标准的美音，质量极佳。整个故事由一组人录制，有歌曲有对话，生动活泼，听着更象广播剧。我听了听录音，感觉不能用好来形容，只能用非常好！由衷的佩服出版社能制作出这么好的录音作品，连我这大人听了都特别喜欢，更何况小朋友了。
    等将来孩子语言把握好了，我们可以参照这个版本和孩子一起玩这个游戏。下面是这个版本的英文文字内容：

Little Red Riding Hood

Here is a little girl.
She likes wearing a red cloak
With a red hood.
That’s why people call her
"Red Riding Hood. "

Today, Red Riding Hood’s mother
Receives a letter from Granny.
"Granny is sick,"she says.
"Go visit her home
And give her some cake."
"Yes,Mother,"
says Red Riding Hood.

Red Riding Hood walks through a forest.
She sees her friend playing hide-an-seek.
"Come and play with us,"says a boy.
"I can’t.I have to see my granny."
she says.
Red Riding Hood goes on.
She sees some pretty flowers.

"I can pick some for Granny."
she thinks.
A hungry wolf comes and asks,
"What’s your name?"
"I am Red Riding Hood."
she answers.
"Come and play with me."
says the wolf.
"I can’t.I have to see my granny,"
says Red Riding Hood.

The wolf asks,
"Where does she live?"
"Not too far.It’s over there,"
Answers Red Riding Hood.
"I can eat Red Riding Hood
and her granny."
The wolf runs very fast
to granny’s house.

The wolf knocks on the door.
"Who is it?"asks granny.
"It’s me, Red Riding Hood!"

the wolf answers.
"I am coming,my dear!"

She sees a wolf’s paw.
"It’s the wolf!"she screams.
She climbs into the cupboard.
The wolf opens the door.
but can’t find her.

The wolf puts on granny’s pajamas
and sleeping cap.
Then he jumps into her bed.
Red Riding Hood knocks
on the door.
"Granny!It’s me, Red Riding Hood,"
she says.
"Come in,my dear!"
says the wolf.

Red Riding Hood opens the door
and comes in.
"Granny looks very strange today,"
she thinks.

"Oh,Granny,"she says.
"You have very big eyes!"
"Yes,"says the wolf.
"They are better to see you with!"

Red Riding Hood walks a little closer.
"How strange!"she says.
"You have very big ears!"
"Yes,"says the wolf.
"They are better to hear you with!"

Red Riding Hood walks closer again.
"How strange!"she says.
"You have very big teeth!"
"Yes,"shouts the wolf.
"They are better to eat you with!"

The wolf jumps out of the bed.
"Help! Help!"
Red Riding Hood screams.
She runs out of the house
and into the forest.

"Rumble,rumble,one and two.
My tummy is waiting just for you,"
the wolf sings.

Red Riding Hood runs and cries.
"Climb up the tree,little girl!"
shouts a monkey.
He pulls her up the tree.
"I’ll get you,"shouts the wolf.

Red Riding Hood doesn’t go home.
Her father goes to look for her.
"Daddy!Daddy!I am here,"
shouts Red Riding Hood.
"I am coming,my dear!"
says her father.
He ties up the wolf
and helps her down.

"Where is Granny?"he asks.
"I don’t know,"
says Red Riding Hood.
They run quickly to Granny’s house.

They can’t find Granny.
"Granny!Granny!"they shout.
"I am in the cupboard,"
says Granny.
Daddy helps Granny out of
the cupboard.
They are very happy.

"I have some cake and flowers
for you,Granny,"says Red Riding Hood.
"Thanks you,my dear,"says Granny.
"Let’s have cake and tea."

"Thank you so much for helping us, "
says Red Riding Hood to the monkey.
Granny gives him a little red cap.

The monkey likes the red cap very much.
"Your name is Little Red Cap,"
says Red Riding Hood.
"I like my new name," says the monkey.
And they becomes best friends.
