Story content
The story of night is always full of charm, with the night as the background, uneven canvas and embossed coating, which makes people want to touch it. Strong colors give people psychological support.
Every superposition of animals is not a simple reproduction. Every animal, every change releases its own strength in different directions and angles and supports it together.
The moon is bright at night, and it is playing. What might be the name of the game? Play with you? ! Until it is tired and has had enough fun. Animals finally tasted the moon and the rewards of their hard work. I'm full and tired. ...
The final ending is abrupt and humorous, full of childlike interest. A rare good book!

Moon, is it delicious? /[Wen] Peng Yi
Even today, when the word childlike interest is widely used (almost all book reviews about children's books will use this word without hesitation), we should be cautious to say that Taste of the Moon is a book full of childlike interest.
One of the reasons why children like it is that
This is a book about diet. For a child who is still babbling in his mother's arms, eating is probably his or her most interesting thing. Bananas, eaten. Apples, eaten. I have eaten paper. Mom's fingers have eaten, too. However, the moon hanging high in the sky at night has never been eaten. What's the smell of the moon? Is the round and yellow moon as crisp and fragrant as biscuits or as sweet and sour as oranges? It is natural for a child to have such an idea. Don't children get in touch with and know the world around us from the beginning of sucking their mother's milk?
Polish painter Mike? Grenez wrote this big moon is really painted, right? Does it taste good？ It is difficult to keep children from drooling. Look, it's thin and brittle. Does it look like potato chips? Is it like one of those cookies that rattle in your mouth? No wonder there were so many animals' eyes staring at the moon in the dark in the first big spread. Do you hear what they are saying? Moon, what is that smell? Is it sweet or salty? I really want a drink! ? Ha, we seem to hear their saliva! Later, when the little mouse in the story? Click? When biting off a small piece of the moon, not only children outside the story, I believe that every adult's heart will also ring a crunchy sound:? Click! ? In order to pursue this thin and crisp texture, anyone can't help but want to touch and bite. The painter deliberately chose a kind of uneven drawing paper to draw the moon. It seems that the painter's purpose has been achieved.
Children like it, the second reason is that
This is a book about playing, that is, games. Besides eating, when children are awake, another important thing is to play, that is, to play games.
This book is so interesting. First, in order to reach the moon, animals put one on top of the other and set up a ladder. This ladder is really dangerous. Why do you say that? Because it was not an elephant that was trampled under it, but a little turtle. Won't the tortoise be crushed to death? No. You see, page by page, the ladder is getting higher and higher instead of falling down! Tortoise is called elephant, elephant is called giraffe, and giraffe is called zebra. Such a scene will also make children feel more intimate. However, it is at the end to tell a story that can make children happy the most. When the little mouse with a pair of big pink ears climbed the ladder, no one cared about it, but it broke the rules of the game and bit off a moon unexpectedly (but can we bear to blame it? )。 Don't talk about young readers, even the moon is shocked, no, no, no, not shocked, but about to cry. Look at the expression of the moon, the corners of the mouth are already bent into one? ︶? Now it's bent into one? ︵? .
After tasting the moon, the animals fell asleep contentedly. At this time, the moon turned into a crescent moon, and the color of the picture was full of warm tones. Originally, the story could have ended here, but the author refused, and suddenly threw out a sentence: a small fish looked at all this and couldn't understand: why did they work so hard to pick the moon high in the sky? Isn't there another one? Well, it's in the water, beside me. ?
Can the moon in the water eat?
I wonder if this problem is a little too deep for young children.
This picture book is really good. It's delicious, fun and nerve-racking.
Speaking of thinking, there is another place worth thinking about in this picture book. Look at the first picture, there are nine pairs of animal eyes staring at the moon in the dark. But you can count turtles, elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, foxes, monkeys and mice. There are only eight kinds of animals. Oh, did you forget to count the fish?
