When the little mouse saw other animals, he tried to walk the apples one by one. He was in a hurry. Finally, the sea lion came out and put the mouse on the tree as a ball. They finally ate the apple.
Cute Little Mouse is an immortal classic of the collaboration between famous Japanese picture book writers Nakagawa and Ueno Keiko, and is known as "the insurmountable peak in the history of Japanese picture books". They describe the wonderful world from children's small perspective, provide children with the best language learning opportunities with simple and repeated sentences, stimulate their infinite imagination with unexpected plots, and let them get pure aesthetic experience with concise and clear pictures. Both adults and children can feel great fun from it, which is the most wonderful state that parent-child reading can achieve.
In this happy story, the children turned pages of pictures and made friends with many animals. Every animal has its own loveliness. Children will guess with the development of the story, who will play the next page? Did the mouse eat the apple? How to eat? A little suspense leads children to turn pages. A successful work is to give readers an unexpected surprise. When they see the picture of a little mouse being thrown high into the air by sea lions, the children will give a satisfied laugh. Smell, that's it! However, there are still unexpected things waiting for them. On the copyright page, a small picture of a sea lion throwing a little mouse brother and two apples into the air to play acrobatics seems to be the end, adding to the aftertaste of the work. Here, reading becomes a complete pleasure.
Accepting oneself and accepting one's own nature is more important than competition, which is the most important thing that modern education teaches children. We read this meaning in The Little Mouse Who Wants to Eat Apples.
After reading the story in this picture book, I know that this sea lion is a helpful animal. We should learn the good habit of helping others from this sea lion. Don't be paranoid like a little mouse. I have a deeper understanding of the meaning of the sentence "Unity is strength".

Analysis of annular lining:
This turquoise color of Leng Yan has a jade luster and a refreshing atmosphere, which makes readers feel fresh and natural without being abrupt, but this exquisite color is full of personality.
On the whole, the front cover and back cover keep the same style as the pictures on the inside page. There is a story on the right, the background is white, and the turquoise border is integrated with the background color of the text part, as if the story is embedded in fresh and natural turquoise.
Title page analysis:
The home page and the copyright page (not done here) are combined into one. The content of the home page is the same as that of the cover, except that the text color changes from red to black, and the mouse has the same attitude and idea. This is our lovely little mouse.
The Cute Mouse is a set of picture books with clear connections. The fun of it is that you can guess the ending of the story while reading it. If you guess, it is that the author has failed. At first, you may not understand why the protagonist of this book must be a little mouse, why the little mouse must draw so small, and why there are so many blanks. In fact, when you slowly squat down and look up at the world, you will find that the little mouse is just a little baby, its perspective is the child's perspective, its story is the child's story, and its fantasy is the child's fantasy ... So, such a little mouse will be the child's love, and such a simple story will make the children watch one after another.
The mouse that wants to eat apples is the personification of children. He observed the world from his own small angle, and achieved his wishes through continuous learning, trying and cooperation. In the works, no matter the red apple, the cute little mouse brother, or the animals that follow, they are lifelike, concrete, vivid and lovely, which conforms to children's reading psychology and is of great help to cultivate children's trying spirit and cognitive ability.
