妈妈带着乔治去看兽医，兽医竟然从乔治的肚子里依次掏出了一只猫、一只鸭子、一只猪和一头牛！这下子，乔治终于能“汪汪”地叫了。然而，在回家的路上，当妈妈让乔治叫一声时，乔治竟然发出了……故事的结尾让人出乎意料，也是整个故事的点睛之笔。除了享受这个幽默的故事以外，孩子们能从中认识到几种动物的不同语言；绘本的句式重复性也很高，孩子容易掌握。

 

本书重点：帮助宝宝认识不同的动物及叫声，生词，arf [' ɑ:f] 拟声词，狗叫声，oink [ɔɪŋk]  拟声词，猪叫声，vet [vet] n.兽医，pull out [ˈpʊl aʊt] v.拽出、拉出，thrilled [θrɪld] adj. 非常兴奋的；极为激动的，latex glove [ˈleɪteks ɡlʌv] 橡胶手套

 

 

重点句型：Dogs go arf.狗的叫声是汪汪的。The vet reached down inside of George. And pulled out a...兽医把手深深地伸进乔治的肚子里，并且拽出了一只……

 

亲子阅读指导：先引导孩子看封面图：指着狗狗告诉宝贝，Look! A dog. A brown dog. Who is he? His name is George.这是一只在学说话的狗狗，我们一起来看看它是怎么学讲话的。指着大狗告诉宝贝，"George's mother"；指着小狗重复，“George”。然后念句子：George's mother said, "Bark, George." "bark"做狗叫的动作。George went, “Meow.”（学猫叫）"No, George, " said George's mother.妈妈摇摇头。

 

"Cats go meow. Dogs go arf."可以翻译一下，原来猫才是这样喵喵叫的，狗是汪汪叫的。“Now, bark, George.” 再来叫一下。George went, "Quack-quack."（学鸭子叫），其它的内容可以采用类似的方式去讲述。在故事的最后，让宝贝来猜猜到底发生了什么，为什么George会讲出一声“Hello”?
