On the cover of a picture book, there are both titles and pictures, telling a general story, and the pictures show the main characters and stories. So just from the cover, we can roughly guess what kind of story he told. In addition to attracting our curiosity and helping us speculate on the story, the cover has another function, which is to introduce us to the author and publishing house of this book. The name of the creator is usually written under the title of the book. For example, a book, that is to say, the writer and painter who created this fairy tale book are the same person, and they write and draw by themselves. If you write an article or a picture, it means that this picture book was written by two people, one is a writer and the other is a painter. If this is a foreign picture book, it will also write the name of the translator. Seeing the creator's name is not only a kind of respect, but also brings us unexpected pleasure. For example, when you see a familiar name, you will feel glad: Hey, I have read his books and I like his writing. What kind of story will he bring us this time?

After reading the cover, let's go on to read the back cover. You may say that this is wrong. I haven't finished reading the story. Why did you jump to the back cover at once? That's right. After reading the cover, we have to turn the book over. What is written on the back cover and what is painted? There are many back covers and covers that look like a complete picture and scene.

This information can let us know in a few minutes. You can read the cover of the picture book once or several times as you like, but you should read the back cover of the picture book at least twice. You should read the story first, and then read it again. Why? Because few naughty authors will draw the end of the story on the back cover.
