Reading with children has many advantages. Parents and children reading picture books together is the best parent-child way. When children are reading stories, those warm and ordinary stories can often touch children more deeply. Through parent-child reading, parents are more likely to establish close and harmonious relationships with their children. In the process of reading, parents should not be indifferent bystanders, nor authoritative narrators and judges, but equal participants. So, how to choose the right picture book for your baby? 1 First, let's look at the classification of picture books. There are different standards for the classification of picture books, and the most acceptable one is to divide picture books into general picture books and picture books without words according to the existence of narrative characters in them. A picture book without words is also called a picture book without words. This kind of picture book only uses pictures to complete the narrative. Contemporary well-known picture books without words include monique's "Little Mouse without Words" series, Raymond Briggs's "Snowman", david wiesner's "DreamWorks No.7" and "Yellow Balloon" in the series of Rembrandt and Van Gogh's Hometown Picture Books. The cover picture books of monique's "Little Mouse without Words" series are mainly written in words, such as Guy Burlotte/Twain's Frog Wanting to See the Sea.

2. Secondly, in the choice of story content, its material should first be close to children's life, preferably something that children are familiar with, but there should be some changes that are different from normal, common sense and natural feelings, so that children feel familiar, strange, novel and interesting. The plot of the story must be a simple and clear description, so that children want to know what will happen next.
For example, among the eggs picked up by the big bear, the stupid big bear picked up three eggs, and he took care of them from morning till night. Finally, one day, three goslings hatched. Bear and goslings ate, played and slept together, and looked after them all the time ... but it was not easy to teach goslings to fly. How did the bear do it? Schubert and his wife presented readers with a series of wonderful animal fairy tales and animal knowledge stories, with clear and soft watercolor colors and countless emotional picture details. A leaky bucket, where everyone has a place to sit, the beaver's nest and the eggs picked up by the bear constitute a particularly eye-catching collection of animal stories. The interesting natural scenes, sincere and lovely animal characters and humorous and warm story lines in this "series" endow these four picture books with an idyllic and lively atmosphere. Thirdly, the picture should be rich in visual beauty, and the composition of the picture is also an important means to create the visual beauty of the story. High-low contrast and scattered composition can visually arouse pleasure, focus on the main characters and plots of the story, and enhance children's understanding of the story.
Finally, it is a good way for children to choose their own books and parents to help them choose. It can give play to children's initiative, discover their interests and let them choose their favorite books. In short, when choosing books for children, you must choose according to the actual situation of children, so that the picture books you choose are meaningful to children. -End-
