《Hattie and the Fox》by Men Fox illustrated by Patricia Mullins
故事简介
这本用心撰写的故事，就有这股神奇的感染力，即使角色只是平凡的母鸡和它的农场伙伴，却让孩子听得哈哈大笑，而且不着痕迹地引诱着孩子一句接着一句的加进去念，一遍又一遍。故事一开始，Hattie这只母鸡看到树丛里钻出一个鼻子，它就开始惊吓喊叫,但是它的伙伴们，鹅，猪，羊，马，牛，却完全不为所动，各自发出漠不关心的冷淡回应。作者Men Fox 用不同句型反映主角心境的高明手法，使一连串的普通事件，发展成一个隽永的儿童经典。这本书非常适合初级英文学习，字句不但简单，剧情也不断重复。一方面，作者安排这些短句【Good grief！】 【Well ，Well】【Who cares?】【So what?】【What next?】一字未改地反复出现五次，用固定不变的【重复句】来凸显一群动物事不关己的冷漠态度。另一方面，作者以持续增加的【重叠句】，呈现母鸡愈来愈激动的慌张心情。

But the cow said,"Moo!"so loudlythat the fox was frightened and ran away.不过，奶牛大叫“哞——”奶牛的叫声太吓人了，吓得狐狸拔腿就跑。
And they were all so surprisedthat none of them said anythingfor a very long time
