50 Top Children’s books (compiled by Booktrust) The Tales of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter

Looking for Children’s Books? - Whenever I go into a children’s bookshop my mind suddenly goes blank when it comes to the classics. So, I think this list of the 50 Top Children’s books (compiled by Booktrust) is quite handy:
1 The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, C S Lewis
2 The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eric Carle
3 Famous Five series, Enid Blyton
4 Winnie the Pooh, AA Milne
5 The BFG, Roald Dahl
6 Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, J K Rowling
7 The Faraway Tree, Enid Blyton
8 The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth G
最新公佈的歷來最受歡迎兒童讀物排行榜上，屢次打破銷售記錄的《哈利波特》系列小說竟然屈居第六名？
英國作家CS·路易士（CS Lewis）寫的幻想小說《獅子、女巫和魔衣櫥》（The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe）已經出版了58年，但仍然受到兒童和青少年的喜愛，成為這次童書首選的第一名。
英國作家JK·羅琳（JK Rowling）筆下奇幻精彩的《哈利·波特》系列小說雖然讓作者的財富超越英國女王，並且造就一股全球出版狂潮，但在強敵環伺之下，只勉強佔據第六名。
由獨立的慈善機構“Booktrust”所進行的調查，訪問了4,000名家長，詢問他們心目中歷來最佳的兒童讀物，可能是出於這個原因，受訪者偏愛他們小時候讀過的兒童書，而不是目前的暢銷童書。
《獅子、女巫和魔衣櫥》1950年首次出版，描述4個孩子通過魔衣櫥進入納尼亞王國的傳奇故事。
排名第二的是作家Eric Carle在1960年出版的兒童繪本《The Very Hungry Caterpillar》，據說這本幼兒繪畫書自出版以來平均每分鐘就售出一本。
排名第三的是作家Enid Blyton的兒童冒險故事《The Famous Five》，首次出版於1942年，第四名是廣受歡迎的《小熊維尼》（Winnie the Pooh），威爾士作家Roald Dahl寫的《The BFG》排名第五。
哈利波特系列小說唯一一本進入前50名的是排名第六的《哈利波特與混血王子》（Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince）。
睡前故事
慈善機構“Booktrust”表示，“經過好幾世代的人，這些五六十年前出版的兒童書到現在還受歡迎。”
“我們鼓勵閱讀，不論是重新閱讀經典名著還是享受最新出版的童書。”
“歷來最受歡迎的50本兒童讀物裏，有傳統的經典名著，也有最新出版的現代故事，適合每個人不同的喜好。”
“Booktrust”的調查還顯示，80%的父母會每天在孩子上床睡覺前讀故事書給孩子聽，平均每次讀22分鐘。

藍祖蔚-藍色電影院新增了 3 張新相片。
一部電影常常因為一首歌就進入了永恆的殿堂，
《波特小姐：比得兔的誕生》的愛情魔法，
來自於「When You Taught Me How to Dance」，
一位出版商與一位女作家的愛情傳奇。
只可惜，電影看過的人不多，
歌曲聽到的人就更少了。
7月8日2230的節目中，
讓我們再聽一次這首癡情的情歌吧，
歌詞如下：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aERfvEGC3ZI
When you taught me how to dance多年前，你教我跳舞
Years ago, with misty eyes 雙眼迷濛
Every step and silent glance 每一步，每一回的深情凝眸
Every move, a sweet surprise 每一動，都是甜蜜的意外
Someone must have taught you well 一定有人教會了你
To beguile and to entrance 如何蠱惑，如何顛倒
For that night you cast your spell 那天晚上你灑下了魔咒
And you taught me how to dance 你教會了我如何去跳舞
Like reflections in a lake 一如湖邊的倒影
I recall what went before 我想起了往事
As I give, I'll learn to take 有施，才有得
And will be alone no more 而且不再覺得孤單
Other lights may light my way 我的路途上也許有其他的燈火
I may even find romance 我也可能找到愛情
But I won't forget that night 但是我不會忘記那天晚上
When you taught me how to dance 當你教我如何跳舞
Cold winds blow 寒風在吹
But on those hills you'll find me 但是你一定會在山頭找到我
And I know 我知道
You're walking right behind me 你會在我身後伴隨我行
When you taught me how to dance多年前，你教我跳舞
Years ago, with misty eyes 雙眼迷濛
Every step and silent glance 每一步，每一回的深情凝眸
Every move, a sweet surprise 每一動，都是甜蜜的意外
Someone must have taught you well 一定有人教會了你
To beguile and to entrance 如何蠱惑，如何顛倒
For that night you cast your spell 那天晚上你灑下了魔咒
And you taught me how to dance 你教會了我如何去跳舞


When you taught me how to dance years ago with misty eyes every step and silent glance every move a sweet surprise. Someone must have taught you well to beguile and to entrance for that night you cast your spell and you taught me how to dance. Like reflections in the lake I recall what went before as I give alone to take and will be alone no more. Other lights may light my way I may even find romance but I won’t forget that night when you taught me how to dance. Cold winds blow but up on those hills you find me and I know you’re walking ‘round behind me. When you taught me how to dance years ago with misty eyes every step and silent glance every move a sweet surprise. Someone must have taught you well to beguile and to entrance for that night you cast your spell and you taught me how to dance.
