這是 Janice May Udry 所寫, 由 Marc Simont 繪製插畫, 1956年出版, 1957年得到 Caldecatt Medal 童書大獎的繪本. 語句簡單, 適合讀給兩三歲寶寶聽. 但以我個人親身經驗, 這本小書單純質樸的語句和畫風也讓大人找到單純的感動與深刻的體會.
為什麼 A tree is nice, 作者舉了好多簡單又詩意的理由:
"Trees are pretty.
They fill up the sky.
If you have a tree, you can climb up its trunk, roll in its leaves, or hang a swing from one of its limbs.
Cows and babies can nap in the shade of a tree.
Birds can make nests in the branches.
A tree is good to have around.
A tree is nice."
有樹真好, 不是嗎?
每次走在行道樹下,
或在路旁、公園裡,
甚至別人家的庭院裡...
看到或大或小、或溫柔或崢嶸、或挺拔或粗壯、或開著花或抽著芽的樹木,
總忍不住輕輕說:A tree is nice!
