According to our agreement, it's time to read picture books with Dundun again ~
Let me give you an injection first. The list of books shared this time is "different" and even a little "scary", and most of them are not recommended.
To tell the truth, when some books are first obtained, I will still question: Who is it? ! Will show children such a book!
However, if you have met them, you will know how beautiful and magical they are. Some plots are interlocking, suspense is repeated, some painting styles are unique, and imagination breaks through the sky. Not only children like to watch it, but even adults will praise it, and many of them have won children's book awards.
Moreover, don't underestimate children's curiosity and desire to explore. Such an exploratory "horror story" is just more in line with children's curiosity.
When you tell them such stories, it's far better to let them stare and sit quietly and listen than to tell fairy tales ~
Some of the books recommended by P.S. are read by Dundun, and some are similar picture books according to the same standards (she doesn't want to read them yet, which is a bit over age).
① Carrot monster
Author: [America] Allen Reynolds Wen/[America] Peter Brown Tu
Translator: Yang Lingling Peng Yi
Publishing House: Guizhou People's Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
When I first started reading this book, I was worried that Dundun would be afraid. Even wondering, how did such a horrible story win the Cadillac Award?
Who knows, although she was a little scared, she couldn't help but be curious and looked over my shoulder for the first time.
Then I watched it again and again, and I chose to watch it before going to bed at night.
.
Let's see what a "horrible" and interesting story this is ~
There is a place in the mountains called Tiaotiaogou, which is full of sweet and crisp carrots. Jasper rabbit can't help but take out two to eat every time she passes by.
This incident made carrots very angry, so they came up with an idea. ...
After that, Jasper Rabbit always felt that a monster that looked like a carrot was following him or appeared in his room at night.
He was worried and scared, so he had to ask his parents for help, but they didn't believe him at all.
Finally, Jasper finally figured out a way to stop the carrot monster from following him all day. ...
This is a very creative and interesting picture book for children. It won Cadillac Silver Award in 20 13, American Library Association Book of the Year in 20 13, and new york Times bestseller in 20 12.
The book uses a large area of gray-black (only carrots are orange-yellow) to create a depressed and slightly fearful atmosphere, which is convenient for the baby to replace the role of rabbit and find ways to get out of the predicament together and release the inner fear and pressure.
The expressions of the characters in the book are vivid and vivid, and the translation language is vivid and interesting, such as "I love carrots", "fat and crisp" and "I can't pull enough" ... These dialogues can not only ease the tense reading atmosphere, but also be especially suitable for parents and children to read and interact.
N times down, Dundun already knows the contents of the picture book like the back of his hand, and often tells me lines, which are colorful and funny ~
Interestingly, although the author Alan Reynolds is not afraid of carrots in his life, he is very afraid of seeing olives, so he can describe this fear tactfully and truly.
After listening to the story, children can also try to make an imaginary carrot monster with scissors, brushes and colored cardboard ~
(2) Three robbers
Author: [French] Tommy Ungerer
Translator: Zhang Jianming
Publishing House: Tomorrow Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
You can see from the title and cover that this is a somewhat scary story.
Three robbers, wearing black hats, cloaks and a big red axe, sneaked out to do bad things under the cover of night.
They sprayed pepper on the horse's eyes, smashed the wheels with axes and took the treasure back to their cave. It's terrible.
If they hadn't accidentally kidnapped an orphan named Fanny and were moved by Fanny's innocence and kindness, they would probably continue to go bad.
What did Fanny do? She just faced boxes of gold and silver jewelry and asked, "What are these for?" .
It was this sentence that made the three robbers abandon evil and do good, built a castle with all their treasures, and became the adoptive fathers of many "lost, unfortunate and unwanted children"
Gradually, these children grew up and got married. In memory of three kind adoptive fathers, they built three towers in the shape of robber hats. ...
The Three Robbers is a gift from the author Tomiungeer to her daughter.
The text and content in the book are very concise, but with strong colors and vivid pictures, it has successfully created a horrible atmosphere.
Because he lost his childhood and spent most of his childhood in war and poverty, we can always see mild humor and bitter satire in Tommy Ungerer's stories.
This book tells children that there are not only good people and bad people in the world, but also "bad people who have done good things" and "good people who have done bad things" with a story that subverts convention and breaks dogma.
(3) "A very dark story"
Author: [America] Ruth Brown
Translator: ode
Press: Jiangsu Phoenix Children's Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
Many people will feel a little spooky when they see the cover of this book, especially the big black cat.
Author Ruth Brown is a famous children's book writer and illustrator.
The illustrations in this book, like a movie mirror, create an interlocking suspense and mystery atmosphere, and at the same time lead everyone to follow the black kitten from the vast wilderness to the forest, into the old house, upstairs, through the curtains, and walk to the small wooden box in the dark corner of the dilapidated cupboard. ...
The words in the book have a strong sense of repetition and rhythm, which makes children read louder and louder and more excited, and can bring them courage and strength.
Finally, when a mouse with eyes wide open was found in the wooden box, the children who were nervous all the way would take a long breath and laugh loudly.
It turns out that this is a super cute dark fairy tale with strong contrast ~
A very dark story was recommended by Japanese children's literature magazine, and was selected as the "storyteller's choice bibliography-the best book for children aged 3-3" in American Darien Library, which was deeply loved by parents and children.
(4) "I'm coming to pick you up"
Author: [England] Tony Ross
Translator: ode
Press: Jiangsu Phoenix Children's Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
This is a book that helps children break the mindset and gain the double pleasure of reading and thinking, and won the German Picture Book Award.
The author Tony Ross used to be a cartoonist, who likes to retell classic fairy tales with humorous strokes and simple lines.
"I'm coming for you! There is a terrible monster living in a mysterious galaxy.
It can eat mountain peaks as biscuits, drink sea water as drinks, and eat asteroids such as apples. ...
However, monsters don't have enough to eat.
It flew around in a spaceship and ate many asteroids along the way until it saw a blue planet-the earth.
When the monster found Tommy, a little boy who was reading a book, he shouted "I'm coming for you" and then drove to Tommy's house in a spaceship. ...
This monster is really terrible, isn't it?
But at the end of the story, you will be surprised to find that the seemingly powerful monster is actually as big as a small ant, but Tommy in front of it is like a little giant.
It turns out that all terrible monsters are "paper tigers" Only at the beginning, its mystery and power were infinitely magnified by us.
I believe that when children read (listen to) this picture book, their inner fears will also collapse with this reversed ending and become relaxed.
⑤ Big black dog
Author: [English] Levi Bindefu
Translator: Wang Qirong
Publishing House: Relay Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
The big black dog tells an adventure story in a strange forest covered with snow. The story is full of suspense from the cover.
One morning, a huge black dog suddenly came outside Hope's house.
Because it is foggy outside, we can't see clearly. According to our own guesses and imaginations, we associate the big black dog with various terrible creatures such as tigers, elephants, Tyrannosaurus Rex and monsters.
Mr. Hope was so scared that he threw away the bread and called the police for help.
Mrs. Hope knocked over a cup of hot tea and turned off the light in the room, which made the big black dog think that he had no family.
Adeline threw away her toothbrush and drew the curtains so that the big black dog couldn't see her.
Morris forgot his beloved teddy bear and hid under the quilt with everyone. ...
Only the youngest child in the family is younger, without hiding, flashing or panicking, opening the door to play with the big black dog.
They crossed the forest and river together ... The big black dog became smaller and smaller, and finally became a new member of the family.
Levi Bindford, author of this book, is a famous young picture book writer in Britain. His works are famous for "aesthetic painting style based on realistic tendency".
The Big Black Dog is the second book written by Levi Bindford. After publication, it won the Kate Greenaway Award in 20 13, the children's book recommended by the American Library Association, and the Coventry Inspiration Book Award.
In order to present the thrill of the chase process, Li Wei deliberately used a large spread screen to create a visual experience of a wide-screen movie screen.
For example, he deliberately put the big black dog's leaping paws outside the border, which broke the balance of the picture and highlighted the strength and speed of the big black dog's desperate pursuit.
Through this carefully designed composition and plot, children can slowly feel that everyone has their own fears, and adults are no exception. But if you have the courage to face it, everything will be different ~
⑥ "The Big Pumpkin of Halloween"
Author: [America] Erica silverman/[America] painted by S.D. Schindler.
Translator: Volume
Publishing House: Xinxing Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
Once upon a time, there was a witch who wanted to eat pumpkin pie. She planted a pumpkin seed on the ground, weeding and watering it every day until it blossomed and grew bigger and bigger.
It's almost Halloween. The witch tried to pick the pumpkin from the vine, but she couldn't pick it with all her strength.
Later, ghosts, mummies, vampires and other ghosts came. They pulled, pulled, pulled one by one, but none of them succeeded.
Finally, the little bat came. Under his persuasion, witches, ghosts, vampires and mummies finally joined forces with Qi Xin to pick the pumpkin.
what do you think? Do you think the story of "picking pumpkins" is familiar? Much like "Pulling Radish" we heard when we were children?
Yes, this book is based on the Russian folk story "Pulling Radish".
Erica silverman, the author of this book, is a descendant of immigrants from Eastern Europe. When she was very young, she heard her elders talk about pulling radish.
Years later, Erica, who has become a writer of children's books, reinterprets the traditional story of teaching children to unite and cooperate and listen to other people's suggestions with Halloween as the background.
Compared with the original version, although the new version of the story incorporates Halloween elements such as witches, ghosts, vampires and mummies, it not only does not scare children, but adds fairy tale color.
It is also a classroom book for many preschool classes in the United States, and has been included in the Children's Book Selection of the Library of Congress, the Book Selection of the American Booksellers Association and the California Reader Selection.
⑦ Country of Beasts
Author: [America] maurice sendak
Translator: Song Pei
Publishing House: Guizhou People's Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
This is the nth time that I have recommended this masterpiece of modern children's literature. Since its launch, it has won many honors and awards:
This book is about a little boy named Max, who had a big fight with his mother and was put into his room without dinner.
In the bedroom, he fantasized that he had come to a wild place by boat, conquered the wild animals there and became a king of beasts.
But after going crazy, Max began to miss those who loved him the most.
Finally, he gave up the throne of the king of the animal kingdom and returned home by boat.
By this time, Max's anger had dissipated. He found his dinner on the table, still hot. ...
Children's boots that haven't seen this classic work may think that the beast in the book has a bad temper and is a bit scary.
But it is actually a deconstruction and metaphor of children's negative emotions by maurice sendak, a master of picture books.
He divided the children's world into two poles-the real world and the psychological world. When negative emotions erupt, children will enter their own psychological world, which is the "animal country" in the book.
This book not only shows the primitive savage side of children, but also shows how Max can overcome negative emotions, change his own thoughts and give positive guidance to children.
But in comparison, Max's journey back to the real world seems to be much longer.
This also means that for children, due to incomplete brain development, they can't handle all kinds of sudden negative emotions, and the process of digestion is slow and difficult.
In short, the country of beasts is not a simple adventure story. It can not only guide children to express and deal with negative emotions, but also guide parents how to deal with such situations.
You should let your child know that on the other side of the animal kingdom, behind the door, there are always people who love him waiting for him ~
8 "underwear monster"
Author: [America] Allen Reynolds Wen/[America] Peter Brown Tu
Translator: Yang Lingling Peng Yi
Publishing House: Guizhou People's Publishing House
Suitable reading age: 3~7 years old
Remember Jasper the Rabbit who defeated the Carrot Monster? Here we go again!
Underwear Monster is a new work by Allen Reynolds and Peter Brown, authors of the best-selling Carrot Monster.
The book continues the painting style of "Carrot Monster", with a large gray-black background (only underwear monster is fluorescent green), strong color contrast and vivid expression, which is easy for children to have a sense of substitution.
The difference is that Jasper meets a new challenge-an underwear monster that glows green at night and can't be thrown away!
Jasper, who has grown into a big rabbit, will not be scared away by a pair of underwear monsters.
This time, it didn't lock "fear", but found a better way to deal with it. ...
Compared with the carrot monster, this underwear monster shows the fears that children who have just entered primary school may face.
Children of this age often make a declaration of "I have grown up" like Jasper Bunny.
But growing up also means facing new fears and finding solutions.
Let the children follow Jasper, renew their brains, use their imagination, and face all kinds of growing problems bravely ~

Take part in crazy Tuesday
Author: Author: [America] david wiesner
Press: Hebei Education Press
Suitable reading age: 3~6 years old
"Crazy Tuesday" is also a wordless picture book by david wiesner. On the basis of a large number of beautiful pictures, it shows a breathtaking and bold fantasy.
This book describes that a sleepy frog was awakened in the pond at about 8 o'clock on Tuesday night.
Next, there is no written description, only frogs flying on the lotus leaves will take you through every restless corner of the town.
Until the sun rises and everything returns to normal.
But on the next Tuesday night, the shadow of pigs flying in mid-air was illuminated on the outer wall of the house by lights. ...
For adults, these pictures depicted in the book may be a bit strange.
But for children, this book not only shows the bold imagination that breaks through the sky like their brains, but also makes them feel that the world will be so colorful with imagination ~
This is one of the reasons why david wiesner is so popular with friends and children all over the world.
Ok, that's the end of the two treasures list. Let's meet again in the next "reading trip".
Ma Chuan, talk about it.
Dabao saved a lot of "property" when he was young. I still don't think Bauer is enough. The publishing house keeps sending me books, but it still doesn't satisfy me. It's okay. Just buy it at buy buy. Two days ago, I found that two-year-old Bauer had read hundreds of picture books, many of which were n-brushes. I'm surprised at how this is done. Think about it, it can only be the result of a long history.
No matter how much Bauer raises pigs, he won't read about it. Of course, our Erbao can't be a pig. How can such a lovely little girl give up? ! I was worried about some children's boots before, but I really wasn't worried ~
There are these books at home. Throw them away! What you think is a classic is actually a fake baby.
