Description | 简介
棕熊老师教小动物们写数字“1”，可每个学生写出来的“1”都不一样：小螃蟹写了一个横着的“1”，小蚂蚁写了一个小小的“1”，小鸟找到一根树枝当作“1”，小蛇干脆把自己变成了“1”！面对这些千奇百怪的作品，棕熊老师会怎么说呢？
When Mr. Brown Bear teaches his animal students to write the number one, everyone comes up with something different. A crab draws a sideways one, an ant makes a tiny one, a bird finds a stick shaped like one, and a snake turns itself into one! How will their teacher respond to these wonderfully unexpected creations?
Why We Recommend It
一本用简单故事传递深刻教育理念的原创绘本。作者巧妙结合动物的身体特征与行为习惯，让一个普通的数字“1”变成充满想象力的创作游戏。最动人的是棕熊老师的回应：他没有急着纠正孩子们，而是用幽默、欣赏和耐心，看见每个作品背后的独特想法与努力。这本书不仅帮助幼儿认识数字、发展观察力和创造力，也鼓励他们接纳自己的不同，尊重他人的个性。对于家长和教育工作者，它同样是一份温柔的提醒：好的鼓励不是千篇一律地说“真棒”，而是认真看见每个孩子的独特之处。本书曾获第八届信谊图画书奖文字创作首奖。
A deceptively simple picture book with a powerful message about creativity, individuality, and encouraging young learners. Each animal approaches the number one differently, drawing inspiration from its own abilities and perspective. Rather than correcting their unconventional answers, Mr. Brown Bear responds with imagination, humor, and genuine appreciation. His thoughtful encouragement helps children see that differences can be sources of creativity rather than shortcomings. The story offers a playful introduction to numbers and shapes while fostering confidence, self-expression, and respect for others. It also provides parents and educators with a wonderful example of recognizing children's efforts and unique ways of thinking. Winner of the top writing prize at the 8th Hsin Yi Picture Book Award.
Reading & Activity Ideas
Create Your Own One: Invite children to draw, paint, or decorate the number 1 in their own imaginative ways. Find the Number: Search for objects shaped like 1, such as sticks, pencils, or building blocks. Body Shapes: Use fingers, arms, or whole-body poses to form the number 1, just like the snake. Creative Classroom: Give every child the same simple prompt and celebrate how differently they respond. Storytime Discussion: Ask, “Why did each animal make a different one?” and “What would you say to encourage a friend whose drawing looks different?”
