絵本はおいそれと買うわけにはいかない。大きいし、学習用としては内容が少ない割に高い。
それに内容も千差万別、とても大人になってからでは楽しめるようなものではない場合もある。
その点、この本は一部がダイジェスト版になっているらしいが、バラエティに富んだ44もの童話が載っており、学習用として使う分には満足できる質と量が確保されている。
このレベルですら簡単に理解できない用法があることに、また仮定法や助動詞の微妙な表現が頻出することに、英語の基礎の基礎を作り直し、慣れることの大切さを痛感しつつ、読み進めています。
語感を養うためにはダイレクトに英語で理解せよと言われますが、英語環境がない一般の日本人にとって、状況が頭の中で描きやすい絵本はその助けになるものだと思います。まだまだ和訳の力を借りないと理解はできませんが、なんとかネイティブの幼稚園レベルに達することを夢見ています。
これのAudio bookが欲しいです。

The illustrations are vivid although.....since this is a treasury, some pages of the illustrations have completely been removed from stories in the interest of total page count. Even so, for most stories there is enough visual interest to keep little ones paying attention. There are a couple of stories such as "Millions of cats" that have almost no pictures; even with me trying to use silly voice inflections, I find those kind of stories in here challenging to hold attention of little ones. Once you read the stories through once, you'll know which to skip. Also, there are many pages of this treasury that have 4 book pages condensed down onto one page or over a left and right page.
One thing that has always annoyed me about this treasury is that the age levels are completely intermixed throughout this book. So you have to hunt around to find the stories that are age-appropriate for your child. Even though I was reading it so much, I was completely ignorant to the fact that there are color-coded pages for the three different age levels until recently (duh, now I know.) I wish they would have put all of the baby appropriate stories at the front, little kid books in the middle, and new readers at the end. I usually read a few stories out of the book at a time and it is so aggravating to flip around the book. On the bottom of each right hand page is the title and page number. The way that this book is marked for age levels is that there is a color coded symbol indicating the age level next to the title (red, green, or blue). Red is for the youngest audience - mostly picture books with
few pages. Blue is for intermediate listeners and is a good mix of pictures and words. Green is for children who will sit and listen without requiring a lot of pictures. Buried between biographical notes of each author (which is actually pretty interesting) and an index is a listing of books by their age level. I truly wish that they would have organized the book by age level instead of mixing it up, but sometimes because of it I end up reading something random that catches my listener's eye as I am flipping by.
Because this is made of thin paper, reading this to an active toddler can be challenging if he or she wants to turn the pages on their own. I still recommend this book for parents of those children: Even with very active ones it's possible to establish nightly snuggly reading time when they are more docile and it's mommy or daddy's job to turn the pages versus during the daytime when they are in charge of turning the pages. If your child has fallen in love with one of the stories in the book and wants to read it over and over and over again, this probably isn't the book to use - you will want to also get the board book.
I have spent countless hours reading stories out of this book to my sons. I doubt I would have bought all of these books separately to read to them, so it was wonderful when I stumbled across this ages ago.
All in all, this is a great gift for new parents. The people you gift it to will be sure to have lifelong memories of reading together with their loved ones. I've had so many thank yous months and even years down the road over this gift!
