給低年級孩子的科學讀物 （ZT)

  http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/science/948189.html

看到前麵帖子說到給孩子訂雜誌的事情。我也訂了，所以在說幾句。現在的National Geographic for kids除了廣告沒有多少內容了，一個兒童雜誌裏裏外外充滿了廣告，在我看來這些廣告給五六歲的孩子很多不好的消費引導。我是National Geographic的忠實讀者，但這個“National Geographic for kid”讓人失望，今年不會再續訂。

 

如果要看science的書，圖書館有一套“Lets-Read-and-Find-OutScience.”可在這裏看到書目：http-www-harperchildrens-com/hch/LRFO/
