《BBC 嚴選｜史上最偉大100本童書》家長必看：啟發心靈與想像力的兒童讀物寶庫

📖 什麼樣的書才算得上「偉大的童書」？

童書，是每個人成長記憶中最柔軟的部分。一本好的童書，不僅能讓孩子陶醉在文字與圖像的世界，更能潛移默化地灌輸價值觀、激發創造力，甚至影響一生。

2023年，BBC 發佈《The 100 greatest children’s books of all time》，由全球177位文學專家、作家、評論家及教育工作者共同票選出百本經典。這份書單橫跨不同年代與國界，從《彼得兔的故事》到《哈利波特》，不僅是童書，更是文學史的重要章節。

本文將介紹這份權威書單的精髓，並探討童書為何能超越年齡、語言與時代，成為不朽之作。

🌟 優秀童書的五大特質

1. 共鳴主題

如友情、勇氣、家庭、好奇心，能讓不同文化的孩子都能感受其溫度。

📘代表作：《夏綠蒂的網》、《小王子》

2. 強烈想像力

創造令人難忘的角色與世界，如巫師、動物社會、奇幻冒險。

📘代表作：《哈利波特》、《納尼亞傳奇》

3. 語言的簡潔與力量

使用簡潔、優雅且富有節奏感的語言，易讀又深具內涵。

📘代表作：《綠蛋和火腿》、《好餓的毛毛蟲》

4. 跨越年齡的智慧

讓兒童能閱讀，大人亦能有所思。

📘代表作：《小熊維尼》、《魔法師的學徒》

5. 文化與教育意義

反映時代、傳達多元觀點，或啟發社會對兒童世界的理解。

📘代表作：《安妮日記》、《好心眼巨人》
