《给小小哒的袖珍公园》 作者：所罗门·邓菲 绘图：唐纳德·吴

April and her brother, Jesse, lived in the city. April's mom gave her a puppy named Tiny for her birthday.

爱普莉和她的弟弟杰西住在城市里。 爱普莉生日的时候，妈妈送给她一只名叫小小的小狗。

April and Jesse wanted to play outside with Tiny. They had no place to go. They asked their mom what to do.

爱普莉和杰西想带着小小去外面玩。 可他们没地方可去。 他们问妈妈该怎么办。

The city owns the empty lot across the street, Mom said. Let's ask them if we could put a pocket park there.

妈妈说：“街对面的那块空地归市政管理哦。” 我们去问问他们能不能在那建个袖珍公园吧。

What kind of pocket has a park, Jesse asked. He pulled a penny out of his pocket. No park here, he said.

杰西问：“什么样的口袋里能装下公园呀？” 他从自己的口袋里掏出一枚硬币。 他说：“这里面可没有公园呀。”

A pocket park is a small park, Mom explained. April and Jesse thought a pocket park was a great idea.

妈妈解释道：“袖珍公园就是很小的公园哦。” 爱普莉和杰西都觉得建袖珍公园是个超棒的主意。
