对于绘本阅读，许多老师往往不知从何入手，上课也会流于形式，缺乏激情和新意。初涉绘本课堂的老师们，可以先从经典的单本绘本入手，因为经典原著绘本本身的创作力量非常强，小绘本孕育着大知识，小绘本潜藏着大智慧，好的教学介质更适合新手教师去解读，在解读中也能领悟到编者和绘者的用意所在，解读绘本的过程也是老师教学能力提升的过程。

一、原著绘本呈现

本期呈现The Runaway Bunny（中文名译作“逃家小兔”）绘本原著，老师们可以先看看这个故事，感受一下这个被誉为“Best of the best（好中之好）”图书的故事魅力，思考一下如果是你，将如何处理这一堂公开课？Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away.

So he said to his mother, “I am running away.”

“If you run away,” said his mother, “I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.”“If you run after me,”said the little bunny,

“I will become a fish in a trout stream and I will swim away from you.”

“If you become a fish in a trout stream,” said his mother,

“I will become a fisherman and I will fish for you.”

“If you become a fisherman,”said the little bunny,

“I will become a rock on the mountain, high above you.”

“If you become a rock on the mountain high above me,”said his mother,

“I will be a mountain climber, and I will climb to where you are.” 

“If you become a mountain climber,” said the little bunny,

“I will become a crocus in a hidden garden.”

“If you become a crocus in a hidden garden,” said his mother,

“I will be a gardener. And I will find you.”

“If you are a gardener and find me,” said the little bunny,

“I will become a bird and fly away from you.”

“If you become a bird and fly away from me,” said his mother,

“I will be a tree that you come home to.”

“If you become a tree,” said the little bunny,

“I will become a little sailboat, and I will sail away from you.”

“If you become a sailboat and sail away from me,” said his mother,

“I will become the wind and blow you where I want you to go.”

“If you become the wind and blow me,” said the little bunny,

“I will join a circus and fly away on a flying trapeze.”

“If you go flying on a flying trapeze,” said his mother,

“I will be a tightrope walker, and I will walk across the air to you.”

“If you become a tightrope walker and walk across the air,” said the bunny,

“I will become a little boy and run into a house.”

“If you become a little boy and run into a house,” said the mother bunny,

“I will become your mother and catch you in my arms and hug you.”

“Shucks, ” said the bunny, “I might just as well stay where I am and be your little bunny.”

And so he did.

“Have a carrot,” said the mother bunny.

      二、教你解读绘本

小兔子对他妈妈说： I am running away. 兔子妈妈说：If you run away, I will run after you, for you are my little bunny.小兔子对他妈妈说：If you run after me, I will become a fish and swim away from you. 兔子妈妈说：If you become a fish and swim away from me, I will become a fisherman and fish for you.…整篇故事就是由这样的结构串起来的，小兔子和妈妈之间的爱意也在此间传递开来。

这个绘本的结构是循环复现的，所以这个绘本的解读，可以从以下几个方面展开：

1.语言结构的提取。

2.爱意的领会。

3.富有逻辑的想象和表达。

三、小绘本，大世界

好的绘本会激发孩子无穷的想象力，孩子们阅读绘本以后，又有了不同的想法。你看，在孩子们的笔下，小兔和妈妈又发生了这么多的变化，小兔变成了星星，妈妈变成了月亮；小兔变成了风筝，妈妈变成了放风筝的人；小兔变成了花朵，妈妈有可能就是那只翩翩起舞 蝴蝶；小兔变成了汽车，妈妈变成了高架桥……孩子的思维一旦被打开，这样的表达便会生生不息。
