如何阅读
故事源自一则民间故事，作者在改编时，进行了周密研究，选定南美洲一个盛产猴子的地方作为故事发生的背景，那里曾是荷兰殖民地，所以作者在绘图时加入了荷兰建筑的特色。
这本书适合于学前幼儿，精彩的插图、有趣的故事很容易吸引小读者的兴趣。虽然这本书词汇量有点偏多，但是作者特意设计的很多实用句式反复出现在故事中，对初学者理解故事，掌握实用词汇和矩形有很大的帮助。
相比一本正经学习颜色词汇，这种融入故事情景的重复变化性语句更能打动孩子们的记忆之门，顺便也和词组a bunch of 打了个照面，以后正式学这个词组，定能浮出似曾相识的亲切感。
比如小贩吆喝“Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!”三次出现Caps这次，逐渐递进，这样具有生活情趣又朗朗上口的句型，孩子们勿用背诵，读完故事里的反复，即可脱口而出，还愿意举一反三。不信，你也可以试一试。
先读为快
边听边读吧~

'You give me back my caps. '
