Become the seeds of happiness in their lives. "

Fang Suzhen, a famous picture book writer in Taiwan Province, said that after he was 35 years old, almost all the nutrients in his life came from picture books.

The beautiful life of adults can't be separated from movies, books and literature, while the world of children can't be separated from picture books with many words. This is the big world in the baby's small world and the best gift that mothers can give their children.

1? Picture book: draw more and draw less, and the story is hidden in the imagination.

Picture books are books that draw more words and use pictures to express stories. There are only a few sentences or even one sentence on each page to illustrate the development of the whole page story. But not all books with pictures are picture books. Some books with pictures can only be called picture books, not picture books.

There are adult picture books and children's picture books, but whether they are adult picture books or children's picture books, people who read picture books have one thing in common, and they all have a naive childlike innocence. Therefore, although some picture books belong to adults, they are also suitable for children to read, and when adults read children's picture books, they can enjoy the innocence and childlike interest in them.

Even when people reach middle age, we still like to watch a few meters. )

However, adult picture books and children's picture books are still very different. Adult picture books contain more abstract feelings and more complex storylines, leaving readers with simple and direct imagination space. Children's picture books are straightforward in feelings and storylines, leaving more room for children's imagination, and parents can create stories with their children. This is a simple parent-child reading time.

The stories on every page of children's picture books are highly concise, and every animal, plant and character that appears is telling stories. There may be only one or two sentences on each page of the picture book that distract the development of the whole story. A seemingly ordinary sentence may require a writer's careful deliberation for a long time. Therefore, the language of picture books is more concise and literary.

Those talented writers and painters put stories into picture books and give them to children all over the world with beautiful lines, rich language, bright colors and broad imagination. Picture books should also be the best toys for babies to grow up.

Imagination is hidden in painting. )

2 picture books are so thin, why are they more expensive than very thick books?

Picture books are a little more expensive than other children's books because of their high production quality, environmental protection printing, imported edition and low initial print run. In fact, the price of each picture book is definitely worth the money.

In order to present the feelings and stories in the painting perfectly, the author not only needs to open his mind wide, but also revise each painting repeatedly. We have seen more than ten pages of picture books, and the author may have to draw hundreds of drafts.

In printing, for the sake of baby's health, many picture books will use green printing, such as choosing soybean ink from plants instead of irritating ink, and rarely choosing cheap plastic binding containing formaldehyde in binding. You see, many children's picture books on the market are handmade. And considering that most babies have the problem of tearing books, the paper of picture books is much better than other books. The body paper is imported coated paper with high smoothness, good quality and tear resistance, and the cover paper will be thick hard-shell paper.

Tear-resistant hard cover, green printing, high-grade coated paper. )

Most picture books on the market are imported from abroad. Foreign picture books generally draw various pigments (oil painting, charcoal pen, crayon, watercolor, colored lead, etc.). ), and the story creation is interesting and close to life, leaving a lot of imagination for children. These picture books are the best and best-selling books selected by copyright owners from tens of millions of foreign picture books, and have been recognized by hundreds of millions of foreign parents and children.

In addition to the above production and printing costs, foreign imported versions also need to pay higher copyright fees. However, a number of excellent children's picture book writers have begun to appear in China.

(Selection, introduction, translation, countless people's efforts have been given to children. )

4 Why do many mothers insist on buying picture books for their children?

I once interviewed a mother who started reading picture books to her baby when she was two months old.

She said that she used to buy picture books for her baby, and the sisters around her would laugh at her, saying that she had more money than she could burn, and the picture books were more than ten pages. What's the use of reading it? Now those sisters who laugh at her will ask her which picture books she has read to her children recently. As long as she buys any picture books, her sisters will buy them for the baby at once.

Looking at picture books, of course, you can't see any effect for a day or two, but after the mother's child is two and a half years old, while other children are still jumping, her baby will already tell stories to other children. And when he entered kindergarten in the second year, the teacher often praised him. When playing in the club, he is more polite, more self-controlled and more capable of leadership than other children.

Sisters come to ask questions, and even kindergarten teachers will quietly ask her how to educate their children when they hold parent-teacher meetings.

The mother obviously felt the positive influence of the power of picture books on the baby's growth, which could not be taught by the school, and even maternal love could not replace it. She is also very glad that she can let her children read picture books from two months and thank herself for burning money on picture books.

You see, picture books really have magical power. The beauty, goodness and art conveyed by writers and painters through picture books have become a part of baby's life. Compared with a cup of coffee, a movie ticket, a manicure, a picture book that is healthy and environmentally friendly and conveys good values, it is indeed worth the money.

I bought a lot of picture books and felt useless.

"Ah, I also bought a lot of picture books. There are a bunch of picture books at home, and I don't see any use for my baby. "

Some people read the same picture book in ten minutes, some people read it in an hour, and some people read it over and over again for many years. Reading for more than ten minutes is called turning over a book, and reading for an hour. After many years, it is called learning knowledge.

Reading picture books also requires skills and methods. To maximize the value of a picture book, you can try the following methods:

1, the picture book is reused.

A picture book can be used for many years and read repeatedly. The advantage of picture books is that there are few languages, and they can use their imagination to construct different forms of stories.

2. Read with your baby.

Parent-child interaction not only tells stories to the baby, but also allows the baby to tell stories to you actively and exercise imagination.

3. Read it to other children.

Invite other children, prepare snacks and food, read picture books with children, increase the friendship between children and other children, and make children love reading.

4. Family reading.

Like a round table, use the time of watching TV at night to gather family members to read picture books, assign roles and let children join in reading.

5. Participate in reading sharing sessions.

Some libraries, schools and cafes will hold parent-child reading sharing, take children to participate in reading activities and learn from other mothers' parent-child reading experience.

6? So many books, how should I choose?

Finally, I decided to buy a picture book and learn how to read it. Mothers can't wait to choose a large number of picture books for their babies. Then the question is coming. How to choose so many picture books?

Of course I chose a picture book!

Good children's picture books must convey positive values, not involving violent yellow, interesting and humorous pictures, beautiful language and stories close to children's lives. There are many forms of children's picture books, such as common paper picture books, advanced audio picture books and electronic picture books, unbreakable fabric books, etc.

After good content, we should consider choosing different kinds of picture books according to different age levels:

0-2 years old:

This is the baby's babbling stage, and the language function has not yet formed. Babies are good at watching, listening and sleeping. You can choose some biological cognitive picture books, as well as audio picture books with cheerful music and simple stories, and of course unbreakable fabric books. It is said that 80% of babies aged 0-2 can eat, play and tear books. )

The Lala Cloth Book can't be torn, can't be torn, can't be torn at all.

3-6 years old:

In fact, the average child has mastered the basic human language and has a certain understanding ability since he was three years old. This is the so-called "sensible". Mom and dad can spare some time to accompany their children to read picture books, fictional stories, simple and interesting popular science encyclopedias every day. To stimulate their imagination and understand the magical nature and universe.

In addition to fictional stories, at this stage, babies also began to get out of the small circle of the family, contact other children in the kindergarten and start to build their own social platform. In terms of content, parents should consciously choose some picture books such as "making friends" and "going to school".

With the growth of children, the content of picture book reading should be from simple to complex, and the reading content should be increased bit by bit.

(Choose picture book content according to children's growth and adapt to external changes. )

6 years old-10 years old:

Some people may say, alas, children are all grown up, so we shouldn't waste time reading picture books. They should concentrate on their studies. At this stage, children need to read a lot of picture books after class, including some elementary foreign language picture books, elementary classic literature picture books, and more complicated popular science books.

It not only provides food for older children's literary spirit, but also is a way for children to expand their knowledge. The most important thing is that picture books are interesting to read, not boring, and will not be oppressive.

Curious George's treasure

Develop children's reading habits from picture books.

"The picture book is the first book that children see on the road of life, and it is also the most important book that people have read in their long reading career. How much happiness a child experiences from picture books will determine whether he likes reading all his life. "

In fact, it goes without saying that after reading so many introductions, mothers also understand the significance of reading picture books to their children.

Picture books are children's literature. They can not only let children know about their parents, grandparents, how to get along with their children and the earth where they live, but also cultivate their language expression ability, imagination and creativity by reading picture books and keep their most precious curiosity. Cultivate positive characters such as friendliness, courage, kindness, peace and love of life through picture books.

The benefits of reading picture books are numerous, but the most important thing is that reading picture books can gradually help children develop reading habits.

The road of life is very long. What he wants crying is not a doll, not his dear child, not even the person he loves, not his mother, but himself who can accompany the child all his life. The sooner children get into the habit of reading, the sooner they can inject rich things into their souls and make their little souls rich, independent and confident, so that they will not feel lonely and can successfully cope with various obstacles in their growth.

Reading is like a lamp that never goes out. When it is lit, it can light up the road ahead. )

For children, a picture book is not necessarily more than ten pages. It is accompanied by mother, the prototype of elegant lifestyle, precious memories of childhood and love. The best way to love children is to read picture books with them, which is also the best gift that mothers can give their children.
