Young Verdi doesn’t want to grow up big and green. He likes his bright yellow skin and sporty stripes. Besides, all the green snakes he meets are lazy, boring, and rude. When Verdi finds a pale green stripe stretching along his whole body, he tries every trick he can think of to get rid of it--and ends up in a heap of trouble. Despite his efforts, Verdi turns green, but to his delight, he discovers that being green doesn’t mean he has to stop being himself.
當媽媽告訴綠笛要趕快長大、變綠的時候,綠笛不明白為什麼要急著長大,急著變成一條大綠蛇。他覺得所有的大綠蛇好像都很懶、很無趣,又粗魯。況且,他真的很喜歡自己現在的樣子。所以,綠笛想盡了辦法,就是不要變綠。《绿笛》融合了赏心悦目的图画和生动有趣的故事,让儿童更多了解蛇的生活与习性,进而改变儿童畏惧蛇的心理,体会一份对所有动物的爱与尊重……许多幼儿园和小学老师,喜欢在教学课程中融入《绿笛》一书,作为教学内容的一部分。尤其书后的蛇类小百科,更成为老师们的重要参考数据。附有双语故事CD和英文原文夹页。
