希利尔讲给孩子的世界地理

Description

在这本书里，本书的作者，我，希利尔要用我全部的知识，给你们，我可爱的孩子们上大概70堂课。 在本书的一开篇，就是一个孩子拿着望远镜，正坐在遥远的太空观察着我们的地球。 他真的很好奇，不是吗？他就那样飘在太空，看起来孤零零的。 在本次周游世界的行程中，我会告诉你们很多很多地平线以外的东西，从美国那像打满补丁的国土（一个个州，真的很像补丁），到15世纪人迹罕至到处是动物的非洲。 哦，还有伊甸园，海蛇怪群岛，印度的没用的大白象，丹麦大狗，如同《爱丽丝漫游仙境》般美妙的美国科罗拉多河……很会讲故事的爱尔兰人。 哦，等等，你们相信吗？爱尔兰人吹起风笛来声音可怕得像杀猪一样…… 嗯，说到猪，让我想起了盛产野猪、黑熊、大野猫的保加利亚，它就在黑海边上，像镶在海岸线上的一颗明珠。那里还出产野生山羊，真是个相当不错的地方。 除了这些，开罗的清真寺，到处叫“穆罕默德”的摩洛哥，很胆小又会发出笑声的土狼，用“阿洛哈”问候人的夏威夷，孩子们，我都会给你们讲到。 相信我，和我一起，你们会很开心，能学到很多很多东西。孩子们，其实世界地理真的一点都不枯燥，而且很刺激很惊险，不是吗？现在，就一起来吧，COME ON！
