小金魚逃走了

by Taro Gomi, 五味 太郎

調皮的小金魚逃走了，跑到哪裡去了呢？
是窗簾上的紅點點、花盆裡的紅花、還是糖果罐裡的糖果？作者五味太郎用天馬行空的聯想力以及巧妙的安排設計，讓小金魚「躲」進各個常見的生活場景裡，邀請孩子們一起來玩躲貓貓的遊戲，在相近的色彩與形狀中，仔細尋找小金魚躲藏的地方，並在閱讀過程裡，充分享受「找到了」的樂趣。
房間、玩具堆、鏡子……隨著場景越來越複雜，物品之間相似的特徵也越來越多，不但充滿了挑戰性，更增進了孩子的視覺辨識能力。故事的最後，小金魚因為找到了同伴而開心不已，終於不再逃走了。故事的文字敘述簡單，卻富含深義，讓這本書不只停留在「找一找」的遊戲而已，還有了更豐富的層次，引發讀者更深一層的想像。

قصة تصلح للأطفال تحت 4 سنوات
عن سمكة تهرب من الحوض وتختبئ في عدة أماكن
هدفها تقوية الملاحظة عن الأطفال

[Janet · Rating 4 out of 5]

The youngest child with limited vocabulary will be reading this title their self as well as locating fishy in the bold brightly colored illustrations as it only has two repeating sentences and a final third one. The repeating sentences are only two words. Interesting that this particular Gomi title is published in Japan, Asia, the United States, Australia, and United Kingdom and Ireland. Definitely a world wide appeal and early skill development title and fun at the same time.

My boy loved it very much!

This book is a simple seek-and-find book with a single question of Where's the fish? The fish is hidden on the page somewhere.

直前に五味太郎のインタビューを見たので、本屋で読んだ。
うん、懐かしい。
鮮やかで素敵な絵。
説教臭く無い。
図書館で検索したら、日本語版は貸し出し禁止だったので、英語版を借りてみるつもり。

I found the fish easily! The boy, in the other hand, seemed h aware we were looking for the fish.

Gomi Taro is my favorite children's book author. This is just one of many great books.
If you speak Japanese check out 'Kotowaza Eihon'. Patches- you'll love it.

Extremely simple words in this book. "Where's fishy?" Your child has to find the fish in the pictures. Cute book.
