外教读睡前故事 | One Hungry Monster 好饿好饿的怪兽

《One Hungry Monster 好饿好饿的怪兽》床底下、橱柜旁、大厅里都是饥饿的怪兽，一只、两只、三只...根本数不过来，这样的场景想想就觉得恐怖吧？

这是一本典型的Counting Book（数数书）。这类书通常会将枯燥数字巧妙地融入趣味故事，让小朋友在阅读中自然而然地学习和巩固数字知识，非常实用。作者Susan Heyboer O'Keefe的同系列作品《好饿好饿的怪兽ABC：一本字母表》（Hungry Monster ABC: An Alphabet Book）也很值得推荐。小朋友们，房间里到底有多少怪兽，你数清楚了吗？

先来认识一下今天讲故事的北美外教Jennifer IWY老师！
