小红去送货 【日】宫西达也 文·图 王志庚 译

This is a story about a red delivery truck who had been given the task to deliver gifts to a family of rabbits welcoming a newborn. In the big city, he met other vehicles who were faster and bigger than he is. He started to feel low in confidence. Along the way, he met with some other obstacles and received help from other vehicles to overcome them. He kept wishing that he was as capable as these vehicles that he met. Nonetheless, he pressed on in finishing the task given to him. Just as he was about to reach the rabbits’ home, he met with a serious accident while crossing the bridge. The gifts flew out of the truck with him muttering how useless and small he was before he fainted.

Part of the story reflects quite of the society now where comparison of ability and lifestyle have become more evident and if one is not careful, one can easily fall into the trap of sense of worthlessness and suffer depression or low self esteem. Parents can, however, use the comparison as a means to discuss the different roles that the vehicles play and how each role is important in itself, even that of the red truck, thus help their children build confidence.

Last but not least, it also inculcates the good virtue of being an encouragement to and helping others through other vehicles.

小红是一辆送货的小卡车。在这个故事里，兔子先生家生了一个小宝宝。小红的任务是把狸猫叔叔要送给兔宝宝和他家人的礼品送到他们的家去。途中，小红进入了车水马龙的大城市，看到那么多比自己速度快、能力强的“车前辈”，他觉得自己又小又没用。接着，沿途又遇到了一些挫折与困难，需要接受一些其他的车辆的帮助。小红真恨不得自己能有他们一半的的本领。 虽然小小的心灵感到十分微不足道，小红继续前进。正当他驰进萝卜村，就快到达兔子的家时，不料在过桥时遇到了最严重的一次意外。桥断了！礼品都飞出了车外！小红在昏迷之前还喃喃地道着自己多没出息。

故事的一部分，反映现今社会，因为社交媒界普遍化，让人们容易做出许多个人能力和生活上的的比较。所谓，人比人会气死人。如果，不好好的视待，可能会给各人带来压力和犹豫感。 所以，家长应当利用书里头不一样的车所备有的不同功能，来教导孩子每辆车的重要性，甚至小红，也是扮演这重要的角色。从而，他们能明白，“天生我材必有用”， 建立他们的自信心。

最后，故事也灌输了能者帮助他人的好品德。
