Gorilla book author
A picture book that only says "good night" from beginning to end, but the plot is humorous and warm. Children will be amused by the restless gorilla in the story, and they can also feel the warm love between animals and administrators. This is a rare bedtime reading. Peggy lattmann, the author of this picture book, is the gold medal winner of Cadillac. One of her masterpieces, Good Night, Gorilla, was selected as one of the treasures of children's books in the 20th century and "Excellent Picture Books in the 20th Century 100" in the school library, and won the American Library Association's Good Book Award and the American Children's Book Center's "Blue Ribbon" Award, which was deeply loved by children.

Because the story and text of this picture book are very simple, and more interesting details are hidden in the picture, when we give this picture book to our children, we guide them to pay attention to the following four points:

1, the picture book cover is very attractive. The word "An" in the name of the picture book is the moon, indicating that the story happened at night. The gorilla took a key and made a "shush" gesture at the child, which was particularly mysterious, so we can also make a "shush" gesture at the child after reading the book title. At this time, we simultaneously launched the front cover and back cover of the picture book. It turns out that not only gorillas, but also other animals are hiding behind the keeper. This picture book has firmly attracted children's attention from the cover;

There are three interesting details in this picture book that change with the plot. Some children will find these changes. If children don't find out, we can guide them to observe and find out. Detail 1: That string of colored keys, if you look closely, you will find that the color of the keys corresponds to the color of the animal cage. After reading it, we can compare our memories with those of our children. Detail 2: Mouse and banana, the mouse can be said to be the second protagonist, which can be seen on almost every page. It sometimes holds a big banana, sometimes resists, sometimes pulls, pulls and drags, and uses various methods. Bananas are gorillas' favorite. Why does the mouse do this? Here, children's imagination can be aroused; Detail 3: the change of balloon position. As the balloon flew higher and smaller, it began to stay away from the moon, and later it was even higher than the moon. This not only shows that time is changing, but also makes children understand that distance will affect the visual size of objects. The concept of change;

Animals sneak out, not for anything else, just to go home and sleep with the administrator. On the wall of the keeper's house, we saw not only photos of him and his wife, but also photos of animals in the zoo. Then we carefully observed the photo frame on the bedside table, which contained a photo of the administrator, his wife and the gorilla, much like a family of three.

The administrator's wife and husband said good night and got ready for bed. At this time, there was a very dramatic scene in the book, which was also a very interesting turning point. The picture suddenly darkened, and then "good night" came from all corners, and a pair of eyes appeared. Don't underestimate a child's memory. You can point to the sound coming from the darkness and ask the children to tell which animals sent these good nights and whose eyes these are.

This picture book is a very interesting bedtime reading. The treasure mothers carefully recalled the expression and behavior of the gorilla in the story. Is it like they are full of energy before going to bed, and children always like to sleep with us? Instead of yelling at children to go to bed, it is better to choose picture books with sleeping scenes and plots at night as bedtime reading materials. Just like the picture book "Good Night, Gorilla", this picture book will actually make the baby mothers more relaxed and happy in class, because there are few words and details hidden in the picture, and the children's observation is always stronger than ours. A little guidance can guide us through the reading. Finally, as the gorilla, the administrator and the administrator's wife fall asleep warmly, the children who have been integrated into the plot gradually calm down. Therefore, this picture book is the last one that is most suitable for parents to read to their children every night. Finally, we can tell our children: "Well, that's all for today's reading. Sleep with the gorilla quickly. Good night! "
