《捕兽记》

偶然在网上看到这本《捕兽记》的封面。

这是我所拥有过的第一本“大书”。“大书”是相对于“小人书”而言的。我大约八岁时有的这本书,什么时候送人或丢的想不起来了。大致是讲的上海动物园国内国外到处捕捉动物的事。内容我还记得不少,封面上有的:猴子应该指的是云南叶猴;熊猫和大象具体怎样不记得了;豹是云豹;关于河马有两个故事,在非洲独木舟捕河马和后来火车运河马。封面没有的至少还有犀鸟,蟒蛇,东北虎,等等。那时候还有本书叫《密林虎踪》,好像是科幻小说,我有点想不起来了。

还有谁对这本书有印象?

i have no idea about "big man book". how big is the size? so this one is something classic?

"big man book" simply means ordinary book, as opposed to "small man book" meaning comic books. when i was young, kids usually started reading from "small man book" and then "big man books" when they got older. This one is one of the few "big man books" for kids at that time - you know - we were not as lucky as Hong kong kids ;-)

i think you're luckier than us, that at least you remember what you've read. :P
i can't remember any memorizable picture from our school books, those were long paragraphs reciting without digesting. but i do admit that japanese comics books are big fun to us, which do have tiny tiny help to our chi language :P
