Rosemary Wells's adorable bunny siblings Max and Ruby are back—-this time with their friend Louise and her Deluxe Beauty Kit complete with wigs, makeup, and instant stick-on nails. Max, as it turns out, is the first customer-victim at the beauty shop. He gets nailed and wigged and moussed and made up until he actually looks a little like Tammy Faye. But what's this? The beauty shop hot line is ringing, and the First Lady needs a shampoo and set! The Queen wants a manicure! As Louise and Ruby distract themselves with just-pretend celebrities, Max decides to make his own fashion statement, with a little help from "Rock-around-the-Clock Hair Color." Next thing you know he is Lizard Green. And Sunflower Yellow. And Ocean Blue. In the end, not even Grandma is safe from Louise's beauty bag! Children who are fascinated by "beauty-enhancing" accoutrements will giggle at the sight of bunny makeovers in this slight but cute Max and Ruby book. (Ages 4 and older) --Karin Snelson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

 

 

딸은 여자이니깐..

 

엄마 화장품에 그렇게 관심이 많지.

 

겨울에만 립밤을 바르는거라며... 바람이 차가워 입술이 트니깐.

 

여름에도 가끔씩...입술이 터서 아프니...립밤을 발라야 한다며.

 

그런 그 꼬마아가씨.

 

그치만..지금은 정말 똥뙈지같아...

 

쑥쑥에서 구입 후 여러번 읽어보긴 하였지만.

 

오늘 프뢰벨 쌤이 만들어 두시고 간 미용실 세트에..

 

그래 이거야..하며....나의 화장품들이며..거울. 립스틱. 아이라이너.

 

관련된 것들을 몽땅 꺼내왔다.

 

하나 꺼내고 나니 다른게 또 생각나고..

 

 

다시 욕실에 있는 화장품 박스에서 이거저거 찾아오고

 

다시 옷방으로 가서...기원이랑..몽땅 뒤죽박죽 해 둔 서랍에서.

이거저거 찾아오고...

 

엄마도 신이 난다.

 

전체 리딩 하고..리딩하면서...어서 엄마의 화장품을 만져보고 싶은

 

꼬마 숙녀의 안달이란...

 

 

전체 모두를 이해하겠지 라는 완벽함 보다는

 

그저 또 재미와 관심을 가졌으면 하는 바램으로.

 

그런데...그림이랑...영어문장이랑..잘 연결시켜 본다.

 

커버 페이지에 맥스가 두 손과 발을 물이 담긴 그릇 안에 넣어두고

 

있는데..그게 뭘까 물어보니..잘 모른다.

 

수현이의 이해를 위해...정말..네일 샵에 한번 가줘야 하는걸까

 

 

하는 맹꽁한 엄마의 생각...

 

나에겐 속눈썹도 매니큐어도...하나 없어...그게 좀 ...

 

갑자기 또 엄마의 호기심과 욕심이 발동하여.

 

담에...브러쉬라도..하나 ...장만해야겠다는 ..

 

 스타일리쉬 동생..희영이 집에 가서 가져와야 겠다...

 

 

전체 리딩 하면서....관련된 페이지에 나오는 화장품들을 하나씩

 

만져보거나...열어두거나..이렇게.

 

 

그리고..두 번째 리딩하면서...엄마가 그려준 맥스에게

 

직접 메이크업.

 

수현이 두 눈이 동그래지며..

 

"정말 엄마꺼 사용해도 돼요? 진짜로요? "

 

그래..저리 신나하고 즐거워 하니..

 

하하..

 

맘 껏 써라....

 

립스틱만 부러뜨리지 말아주렴.

 

수현이가 흰 도화지의 맥스를  한 단계 씩 화장을 하면

 

엄마는 관련 단어 한번씩 적어주면 읽어주기..

 

 

마침...샵에서 받은 메이크업 단계 소책자도 활용하기.

 

어쩌면...여섯 살의 수현이와 세살 의 기원이의 모습들이..

 

Rosemary wells의 Ruby's Beauty Shop  그 모습 그대로 인지

 

 

이 시리즈를 잘 활용해보도록 하자.

 

 

RUBY'S BEAUTY SHOP
by Rosemary Wells

Ruby's friend Louise is coming over to play, and she's bringing her Deluxe Beauty Kit. Inside the kit is everything the two of them will need to make Max gorgeous, including instant stick-on nails, wigs, and makeup. But Max has no intention of sitting pretty: he'd much rather experiment with some beauty tricks of his own. The bunny siblings have never looked better than in this sweet and funny story by one of today's most popular children's book creators, about whom Kirkus Reviews says, "Wells must have a secret key not only to the heart of toddlerhood but to the very core of sibling relationships."

Rosemary Wells (www.rosemarywells.com) is the acclaimed author of more than sixty books for children, including the New York Times bestseller, Bunny Party. She lives in Westchester County, New York.

 

 

ABOUT ROSEMARY WELLS

Born in New York City, Rosemary Wells grew up in a house "filled with books, dogs, and nineteenth-century music." Her childhood years were spent between her parents' home near Red Bank, New Jersey, and her grandmother's rambling stucco house on the Jersey Shore. Most of her sentimental memories, both good and bad, stem from that place and time. Her mother was a dancer in the Russian Ballet, and her father a playwright and actor. Mrs. Wells says, "Both my parents flooded me with books and stories. My grandmother took me on special trips to the theater and museums in New York.

When I was two years old I began to draw and they saw right away the career that lay ahead of me and encouraged me every day of my life. As far back as I can remember, I did nothing but draw."

A self-proclaimed "poor student," Wells attended the Museum School in Boston after finishing high school. It was, she recalls, "a bastion of abstract
