在兒童圖畫書中，我們不儺發現它們的取材很廣，用「古今中外」來形容殆不為過，讀者可以接觸到許多不同的題才而有多元性的學習，除了傳統溫馨、甜蜜、歡愉的內容外，還加上探討生死、疾病、年者、家庭問題、身心障礙者、戰爭等較「沉重」的議題。本文就「死亡」這個主題，共探討二十一本兒童圖畫書的圖文表達方式，其重點有二：(1)圖畫書詮釋死亡的方法，包括祖父母的死亡、父母親的死亡、病童自身的死亡、朋友的死亡、寵物的死亡、重症病患的瀕死實錄、專業人員輔導兒童面對死亡的實錄等；(2)與兒童談論死亡的基本態度，包括評估他們能理解、能接受的方式，坦誠而祥和地告訴他們真相；尊重並接納兒童對死亡的感覺，予以適當的幫助與輔導；讓兒童了解死亡是一種自然現象等，其能對兒童生死教育提供一個新的思考方向。

　　　　　In children's comic books, it's not hard to find that they draw on different sources-ancient, modern, Chinese, foreign. Readers could be exposed to a variety of materials and thus have the merit of learning diversely. In addition to traditional motifs of warmth, sweetness, and delight, these comic books also include "heavier" issues studying life and death, disease, age, family problems, people with physical and mental disorder, and impact of wars. With death as its theme, this paper examines graphic and linguistic expressions of twenty-one children's comic books. There are two emphases: (1)How these books interpret death, including deaths of grandparent, parent, the sick child itself, friend, pet; death records of the very sick, how councilors help children face death, etc. (2)What basic attitude we should have when talking to children about death, including evaluating how children understand and accept death, how truth is told with honesty and peace; respect and accept children's feeling toward death, giving them help counseling; letting children know that death is a natural phenomenon, etc, so new thought on life and death for children's education can be developed.
