上一篇《跟外国妈妈学读英文绘本Clifford's Touch-and-Feel Day》适合低幼宝宝的妈妈来学习，低幼宝宝不太会说话，只能嗯嗯啊啊，或用神情、手指动作等来和表达自己的感受，和妈妈交流。所以妈妈要在读绘本的时候，眼睛不能仅仅盯着书，还要多多观察宝宝，呼应宝宝的非语言交流。

（下面是我听写的录音。~~~~表示停顿，斜体表示书中的文字，粗体表示重读。欢迎交流。）

I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet.

Do you know what a zoo is? Yes, it's a place where they keep~~~~ animals!  Like lions, and tigers and elephants and lots, lots more. Have you got a pet? A dog or a cat makes a very nice pet. Maybe you have one.

They sent me an…

What a big box! What color is it? Now open it carefully. Who's inside? Yes! A really big elephant! He has a very long nose. Do you know what he is called?~~~~ Yes, that's right, a trunk. Is your nose as long as his?

He was too big. I sent him back.(Turn the page.)

There is an animal poking his head out of the top. It must be very tall. Open the box carefully. It's a ~~~~~giraffe. He's tall because he has got a very long ~~~~neck. Have you?

He was too tall. I sent him back.(Turn the page.)

This box has doors and a window. How many doors? Yes, two. Can you guess who's inside?  Open the doors very carefully. Well, it's an animal with a big hump on his back.  Yes, it's a camel.

He was too grumpy! I sent him back.(turn the page.)

Hmm, they sent a basket with a cover this time.  What on earth can be inside?  SSSSSS…, wait a minute, I can hear a hissing sound, SSSSS… Can you guess who's inside?  Open the basket very carefully. Yes! It's a snake.  What color is it? Would you like a snake for a pet?  I don't think I would. Can you hiss like a snake? ~~~~ Hmm, that's good, very good, but very scary.

There's someone peeping over the top of this box. Is this box  as  the biggest elephant's box? No, much smaller. Open it carefully and who's inside? Yes! It's a monkey. What is he eating?  Do you like bananas? Maybe you're a naught monkey just like him.

He was too naught! I sent him back.(Turn the page)

This box is very small, isn't it ?  What color is it? Yes, pink. I wonder what the zoo sent this time. Open it carefully. Something might jump out . It's a ~~~~~frog.  He will jump out if  not careful and he'll be difficult to catch.

He was too jumpy.  I sent him back.(Turn the page.)

So they thought very hard and sent me a …

None of the animals the zoo has sent so far would have made a good pet, would they? No, not really. What can they sent this time?  Open the basket carefully. It's a puppy. What a perfect pet. He is really pleased to come out to be your pet.  See, how he is wagging his tail.

He was perfect. I kept him.

I think a puppy can be a perfect pet, don't you? He is not too big, not too tall, not too fierce, not too grumpy, not too scary, not too naughty, not too jumpy, he is just perfect. If you got a puppy for a pet, what name would you give him? ~~~~~~ That sounds like a perfect name to me.
