没想到吧，才时隔半个月，我们哆啦A梦一般的制作团队，又要推出另一个精品专辑了！

根据常爸英语启蒙路线图走下来的小学霸们，很多都可以阅读分级读物和桥梁书了，常爸也给大家推荐过合适的书，比如Benchmark和牛津树（戳蓝字查看详情），除了“读”之外，孩子“听”的能力同样重要，“听”不仅能提高语感，还能丰富孩子的表达。听力词汇积累得越多，借助自然拼读这个工具，孩子们的阅读词汇、阅读能力才会有飞跃式的提升。

而最近上线的这套专辑恰好就能满足这部分小学霸对听的需求，由国际顶尖团队制作，在享受英文听觉盛宴的同时提升兴趣，让孩子们可以彻头彻尾地沉醉在原汁原味的英语环境中，并爱上“听书”。

The Hare and the Tortoise

In a forest lived a hare. All he did was jumping up and down all day and talking about how great he was.

“I am so great because I can run so fast.”

He loved to talk about how much faster he was than all the other animals.

“I’m the fastest animal in the forest,” he boasted. “Does anyone wanna race me?”

The hare sure did run fast with his very big feet.

The other animals didn’t like the way the hare showed off, but they could never beat him in a race.

“We need to find an animal faster than the hare,” they all agreed, “so we can teach him a lesson.”

One day a tortoise was walking in the forest. He heard the stories about the hare and he thought, “I want to be the one to beat the hare in a race. I will teach him a lesson.”

So the tortoise went to find the other animals. “I will race the hare,” he told them.

The other animals all laughed. “Ha ha, you want to race the hare? But you’re the slowest animal in the forest! Not even the fastest animals can beat him. How can you win?”

“You will see,” replied the tortoise.

So the other animals took the tortoise to meet the hare. The hare was sitting in his favorite place under a tree eating a large carrot.

“Good morning, Mr. Hare. I hear that you’re the fastest animal in the forest.”

“That’s right,” answered the hare.

“Well then,” said the tortoise, “I wanna race you and see who is faster.”

The hare laughed so hard. “Ha ha ...” He dropped his carrot.

“Ha ha ha, are you serious? You could never beat me. But if you really wanna race, meet me tomorrow morning and we will see who is faster.”

The tortoise walked away very slowly while the hare continued to laugh. “Ha ha...”

The next morning all the animals came to see the race. The hare and the tortoise were both ready at the start line.

“Let’s get started,” shouted the hare. “I haven’t had my breakfast yet.”

The race started and the hare ran off into the distance as fast as an arrow.

The tortoise started to walk very slowly.

“Oh, dear,” thought all the animals watching the race. “The hare is going to win again.”

The hare ran for a while. Then he stopped and looked behind him. The tortoise was nowhere to be seen.

“Ha ha...” he laughed. “The tortoise won’t finish the race until tonight! I have lots of time to sit down and eat my breakfast.”

So the hare sat down and started eating a carrot.

The hare finished eating his carrot. But the tortoise was still nowhere to be seen.

“I’m a bit sleepy after breakfast,” he yawned. “The tortoise is so slow. I have lots of time for a quick sleep. I can still win the race when I wake up.”

So the hare closed his eyes soon and fell asleep.

The tortoise continued to walk very slowly. Finally, he saw the hare, who was still asleep under the tree.

The tortoise didn’t stop. He quietly walked passed the hare.

A while later, the hare woke up. “Hmm, I still can’t see the tortoise,” he thought. “Maybe he doesn’t wanna race any more. I should finish my race now.”

So he stood up and started running again.

But when he got to the finish line, the tortoise was already there!

All the other animals were very happy and cheering the tortoise. “Ha ha, slow and steady wins the race!” they all laughed, “slow and steady wins the race!”

“Oh, no,” cried the hare. “The tortoise beat me while I was asleep!” The hare was very sad.

The tortoise had a big smile on his face. Very slowly, he walked over to the hare.

“Mr. Hare, I won because I was wiser and ran the race seriously. If you are too confident and show off all the time, you will always lose in the end.”

“You’re right...” agreed the hare. “From now on I will stop showing off about being the fastest.”

“That’s good,” replied the tortoise. “Goodbye, Mr. Hare. I should go now. My home is a long way away.”

The tortoise walked away very slowly. The hare had learned his lesson. He never showed off again.

He lived a much happier life in the forest with all the other animals.

为什么要做这个专辑？

从语言学习的角度来说，当孩子能够顺利进行简单的英语日常会话，打招呼，阅读小绘本之后，童话故事是非常理想的载体。而且孩子们本身也对童话故事更感兴趣，很多异国他乡的童话经典，都能引发小朋友们无穷无尽的想象。《小红帽》《卖火柴的小女孩》是国外的小朋友，也是我们从小听到大的童话故事。

不过现在市面上的外国经典童话故事基本都是“原装”进口，主要针对英语母语的孩子。对国内孩子来说难度过高，也无法完全理解语言内核。所以常爸就想不如我们自己做一个专门适合中国孩子的英文童话有声书，让他们也能听原汁原味的英文故事，理解国外的语言文化。

同时也希望每一位孩子在打开音频的时候，都能把自己代入故事的情境，发现英语学习的乐趣。

专辑里除了知识，还有人生态度

童话故事的具体情境能够帮助孩子把之前已熟练掌握的英语知识融合运用起来。

孩子背单词可能很容易，但怎么造句、怎么运用，往往是比较难的。就拿《龟兔赛跑》来说，孩子能在这个故事场景里学到很多日常用语。

比如兔子大叫：“The tortoise beat me while I was asleep，”轻松就学会了“somebody beat somebody（谁打败了谁）”这个过去式表达。

同时童话里完整的故事情节，复杂却又不枯燥，更适合激发孩子进行听力、朗读和复述训练。

除了知识上的提升，寓言故事背后的意义也值得我们深思。《龟兔赛跑》里，兔子骄傲自满，乌龟认真对待，截然不同的性格，鲜明立体。乌龟赢得比赛后，对兔子说：“Goodbye, Mr. Hare. I should go now. My home is a long way away”，是不是有种淡然处之的人生智慧值得学习呢？

还有《狼来了》告诉孩子做人要诚实，才能拥有别人的信任；《乌鸦和狐狸》讽刺了乌鸦被恭维冲昏了头脑，爱慕虚荣；作为我们专辑首发的《伊索寓言》对儿童的教育意义是不可忽视的。
