1. “Goodnight Moon”

　　《晚安，月亮》

　　“Goodnight Moon” doesn’t really have much of a story. The book is just a description of certain things like kittens, a mouse and a quiet old lady. There are also mittens, a toy house and even a cow. The author introduces everything in the beginning and then says goodnight each of them at the end.

　　《晚安，月亮》并不是一個(gè)真正意義上的故事。這本書(shū)只是描述了某些東西，比如貓咪們、一只老鼠和一位安靜的老太太。還有連指手套、一座玩具屋，甚至有一頭奶牛。這位作者在開(kāi)始介紹了上述的一切，然后在結(jié)尾時(shí)向他們道聲晚安。

　　“Goodnight Moon” uses repetition of the same sentence structures with different vocabulary, which is great for English learners. For example, one line in the book reads, “Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon.” This is really helpful for learning a lot of new words.

　　《晚安，月亮》重復(fù)使用相同的句式，但是詞匯不同，這對(duì)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者而言很棒。例如，書(shū)里有一行寫(xiě)道, “晚安，房間。晚安，月亮。晚安，跳過(guò)月亮的奶牛。”這對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)許多新詞很有幫助。

　　Most of the story is made of short two- and three-word sentences, which is why I have listed it as the easiest book here.

　　大部分的故事是由兩三個(gè)單詞的句子組成，這是我將它列為最簡(jiǎn)單書(shū)目的原因。

　　2. “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”

　　《饑餓的毛毛蟲(chóng)》

　　“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” is about a caterpillar who eats more and more food during a week. The book starts with a little caterpillar who comes out of its egg and starts searching for food. He does this every day.

　　《 饑餓的毛毛蟲(chóng)》是關(guān)于一只一周內(nèi)越吃越多的毛毛蟲(chóng)。這本書(shū)以一只小毛毛蟲(chóng)從卵里孵出來(lái)，開(kāi)始尋找食物作開(kāi)篇，他每天都在做這件事。

　　In the beginning, the caterpillar eats healthily, such as fruit and vegetables. Later, the caterpillar begins to eat junk food more and more, until its stomach hurts. Because of this, the caterpillar decides to eat something good again and it feels better. In the end, the caterpillar wraps up into a cocoon and soon becomes a butterfly.

　　開(kāi)始，這只毛毛蟲(chóng)吃得很健康，比如水果和蔬菜。后來(lái)，這只毛毛蟲(chóng)開(kāi)始吃越來(lái)越多的垃圾食品，直到它的胃受傷。因此，毛毛蟲(chóng)決定再吃些好東西，也感覺(jué)舒服起來(lái)。最后，毛毛蟲(chóng)化繭成蝶。

　　This children’s book is great for learning essential English words, such as numbers, foods and days of the week. Once again, repetition is very important for improving your English, and this book has lots of great repetition.

　　這本童書(shū)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)單詞而言很棒，比如數(shù)詞、食物和一周七天。再說(shuō)一次，重復(fù)對(duì)提高英語(yǔ)來(lái)書(shū)很重要，這本書(shū)有許多很好的重復(fù)。

　　3. “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”

　　《如果你給駝鹿一塊松餅》

　　“If You Give a Moose a Muffin” is about a moose who always wa00nts something more in his life. First, he wants a muffin. Then he wants some jam to go with it. When he’s finished eating, he wants some more until they’re all gone. Then, he asks you to make more, and more…

　　《如果你給駝鹿一塊松餅》是關(guān)于一頭在生活中總是想要更多西的駝鹿。開(kāi)始，他想要一塊松餅。接著他想要一些搭配松餅吃的果醬。當(dāng)他吃完了，他想要更多，直到吃完所有松餅。接著，他讓你再多做一些，再多一些……

　　This book is one of the shortest on the list, and its language uses a lot of future tense. This means most of the sentences have the verb “will” in them. For example, “If you give a moose a muffin he’ll want some jam to go with it.” This book is especially helpful for learning future tense and its contractions (he’ll, you’ll, etc.).

　　這本書(shū)是名單中最短的一本，而且語(yǔ)言用了許多將來(lái)時(shí)。這意味著許多句子里有“將要”這個(gè)詞。例如，“如果你給駝鹿一塊松餅，他即將要一些搭配松餅吃的果醬”。這本書(shū)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)將來(lái)時(shí)和相關(guān)的縮寫(xiě)尤其有幫助。

　　If you like this book, you’ll probably also like “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” written by the same author.

　　如果你喜歡這本書(shū)，你或許也會(huì)喜歡同一位作者寫(xiě)的《如果你給老鼠一塊曲奇》。

　　4. “Curious George”

　　《好奇喬治》

　　“Curious George” is very famous series about a monkey named Curious George. The word “curious” means to be interested in knowing more about something. Curious George is a little too curious, which causes humans to catch him and bring him to their big city.

　　《好奇喬治》是連載故事，關(guān)于一只名為好奇喬治的猴子，非常出名。“好奇”這個(gè)詞意味著對(duì)某些事情想了解地更多。好奇喬治是一個(gè)小好奇，這引得人類(lèi)抓住他并將他帶去了大城市。

　　There, the monkey creates all sorts of problems. He calls the fire department, ends up in prison (jail), escapes from prison, is carried into the sky by balloons and eventually, he arrives safely in the zoo.

　　在那兒，這只猴子制造了各種各樣的問(wèn)題，他打電話給消防部門(mén)，被關(guān)進(jìn)監(jiān)獄，逃獄，被氣球帶飛到天上，最后，他安全地到達(dá)動(dòng)物園。

　　This book uses a lot of short, simple sentences, which makes it very easy to read for English learners. For example, “One day George saw a man. He had on a large yellow straw hat. The man saw George too.” As you can tell, the sentences are very short and choppy, which is what makes “Curious George” a great read for both children and English learners.

　　這本書(shū)用了許多短而簡(jiǎn)單的句子，對(duì)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者而言很容易閱讀。例如，“一天，喬治看到一個(gè)人。他戴著一頂很大的黃色草帽。這個(gè)人也看到了喬治。”正如你可以看到的，這些句子很短，不連貫，使《好奇喬治》成為孩子和英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者很棒的讀物。

　　5. “The Giving Tree”

　　《給予的樹(shù)》

　　In this story, a boy loves to play in an apple tree, and the apple tree loves when the boy plays with her. The boy gets older, though, and doesn’t play in the tree anymore.

　　This book has such a deep meaning, and it is fun to read at the same time. This book uses its simple words to create one clear idea, making it an easy read.

　　這本書(shū)意義深刻，同時(shí)讀起來(lái)又很有樂(lè)趣。這本書(shū)用簡(jiǎn)單的詞匯創(chuàng)造出一個(gè)清晰的概念，使它簡(jiǎn)單易讀。
