Content introduction:
The Arabian Nights is a magical existence. Readers of different ages, different educational experiences, different cultural backgrounds and different times can read the same things in it and find completely different details, which has a great influence. For example, in the childhood of every era, you can see the magic, romance, beauty, exaggeration and wisdom. When I was an adult, many people read it again and found that it was completely different from when I was a child. Some people even suspect that The Arabian Nights is not Arabian Nights. Many people on Douban Zhihu are shouting "Enlighten Reading", "Refresh Three Views", "Subvert Cognition" and "Unbearable Reading". Looking back at history and looking around the world, writers, artists and works that shine under the influence of Arabian Nights abound. Now, the word "100 1" is even more creative, with colorful patterns.
Many people have read the story of the black wooden horse, Aladdin and the magic lamp, the fisherman and the devil, the four-color fish, Sindba's voyage adventures, Alibaba and the forty thieves of childhood, and so on. These stories are just a scale claw in the Arabian Nights, and some of them are not even Arabian Nights. In this full translation, readers will see many stories that they have never seen or seen the whole picture, experience all kinds of complicated reading feelings that they have never seen before, and learn a lot of information that they have never known before.

How amazing is it to be able to reason with your child about the wordless picture book of Arabian Nights? If I have to recommend a picture book, I will.
First of all, Susanna's four seasons!
Because it is instinctively inferred that the story picture book of One Thousand and One Nights is different from other ordinary picture books and can only carry a single or single-digit story theme.
Very logical and intriguing. After repeated rereading, there will be new discoveries, and the hidden ambush is enough for you and your children to explore for several years.
Season time
It is a brand-new picture book-intensive picture book. Frankly speaking, I seldom come into contact with such picture books.
It usually
Using panoramic perspective, the content is presented in the form of cross-page, with many pictures, few words or even no words.
Before introducing this picture book, I think it is necessary to introduce the author of this picture book-
Rotrault Susanna Bernard

Susanna Bernard
Appraised by the media as
"I have improved the artistic level of strengthening picture books, which is a type of children's books.
"。
"Four Seasons Time" depicts the daily life of the small German town of Weimlingen from winter to summer night, including these seven scenes, namely:
Residential buildings, rural farms, railway stations, kindergartens and cultural centers, commercial streets in civic squares, department stores and lakeside parks.
This set of picture books adopts
Panoramic perspective, based on place and time, depicts a painting scroll with multiple story clues in the same season and at the same time, so that children can recognize the situation, identify things, track the plot, make logical reasoning, make great visual discoveries and tell stories by looking at pictures without pressure.
Many parents feel that they can't start with this kind of enhanced picture book, but for children, colorful pictures have natural interest, so parents don't have to worry that their children can't understand them. Therefore, when reading this set of picture books with children, parents only need to patiently guide and listen, and leave the rest to the children to play freely.
We can start with the basics first.
There are many boxes at the bottom of each issue of Four Seasons Time.
The small icons in the article are marked in Chinese and English.
Parents can ask their children to say the names of things, and parents with good spoken English can teach their children to read the corresponding English words by the way.
Then find the corresponding items from the big screen. Some of these items are conspicuous and some are hidden. Children must have the patience to find them. Parents can give their children appropriate tips. For example, where will tableware appear? Kitchen or living room? Wait a minute.
There are more than 600 life words in this picture book. These words are not randomly arranged, but have certain rules to follow. Parents can let their children find it themselves and summarize it themselves.
Parents may find this game of "looking around" boring, but as far as children are concerned, they enjoy it. As long as things are discovered by them, they can gain great confidence and satisfaction. Moreover, in the process of this entertaining game, they not only learned English and Chinese, but also cultivated their observation ability, logical reasoning ability and concentration.
More importantly, it can also make
They quickly became familiar with the environment around the object and devoted themselves to this picture book.
Then, we can
As an intensive picture book, Four Seasons Time has a variety of individual elements. At first glance, the intricate picture will feel that there is no way to start.
But in fact, there are many characters and stories hidden in every painting, and every character and even animal in the book will have their own stories.
This kind of strong logic and reasoning is incomparable with other picture books.
To understand this set of picture books, as long as we calm down,
Lock a single character as a clue, track the whereabouts of the character through every scene and every time period, infer the plot, and weave a unique story.
I would like to add here that the four seasons do not follow the traditional order of "spring, summer, autumn and winter", but start from "winter", followed by "warm spring", "summer", "cool autumn" and finally "moonlit night". It has been three years.
In order to let everyone know this picture book more intuitively, let's do a simple warm-up exercise first, taking the picture book Winter as an example.
Open the first page, the first thing you see is a three-story residential building. In front of the building is the station and the expressway, behind the building is a wilderness, with two big trees on the left and right.
After understanding the general environment, let's lock the characters first-the grandmother on the second floor, with gray hair, wearing a black hat, a yellow cotton-padded jacket, an orange bag on her shoulder, a red glove and a blue umbrella. Come on, give her a name first!
Her son gave her an interesting name: "Grandma Scud" (the author named this grandmother Andrea). Naming a character can actually inspire children.
Interested in language application,
So parents should not ignore this link.
And then we ...
Give the initiative to the child, let him carefully observe the pictures, and weave his own trip to Wemlingen according to his own thinking and interests.
First of all, we can imagine: "What is this scud grandma going out for?" ,
Is it chasing a bus? Go shopping? Or visit relatives and friends?
We just need to follow grandma Scud through the picture books to find the answer.
In the second scene, she runs very fast with an umbrella. What does she seem to be chasing? Is she chasing a bus?
In the third scene, grandma Scud passed the farm, and she was still running and walking like a fly! I can't believe I can always follow bicycles and buses.
At the cultural center, grandma Scud finally stopped and seemed to be attracted by something. Following her eyes and the eyes of the public, it turned out to be the parrot that caused the traffic accident (then whose parrot could it be? You can look back at the picture book)!
The above reasoning is typical.
Situational cognition
,
Let the children make their own judgments and conclusions by observing the locations, scenes and actions of the characters in the picture, combined with their own actual situation.
Passing by the civic square, she was still running with an umbrella.
At the mall, she was still running, running parallel to the bus. Grandma Scud runs too fast! She kept running down except that she was attracted by the parrot and stopped for a minute. Does she have anything urgent to deal with?
It turned out that she had an appointment with her friends to meet in the cafe and have afternoon tea together! At the moment when the answer was announced, did you feel particularly fulfilled?
In fact, there are many similar stories in Four Seasons.
As long as we carefully observe the details, think about its rationality, put forward a guess appropriately, and then cross-verify and analyze the reasoning plot, we can weave all kinds of wonderful Arabian Nights.
In the whole process, it is necessary to fully mobilize the children's ability to cooperate and coordinate with each other among their hands, eyes, brain and mouth, which can also greatly improve their logical thinking, reasoning level and expression ability.
Basically, when a character comes down without a teacher, the child will understand the rules of this picture book. Every time they turn a page, time and space will change and the plot will continue to advance.
When we do a lot of reasoning,
Wonderful "short story"
After that, we can capture the whole set of picture books and reason about the colorful picture books.
Biography of people.
Taking time as a clue, choosing the same scene for comparison can be intuitively felt.
Feel the changes of all kinds of animals, plants and people all year round.
The big tree on the right side of the amusement park is full of flowers in spring, and the warblers are whispering. Summer is lush and fruitful, but in late autumn, leaves fall and the cold wind is bleak, leaving only bare branches covered with snow in winter.
And the contrast between day and night, during the day, all kinds of people are engaged in different jobs, and at night, animals haunt, but many people stick to their posts and take pains.
In the time cycle of "four seasons", we can also lock a character and infer all his whereabouts and life tracks from the cold winter to the summer night of the third year. You will find
Each character will have his unique personality and living habits, and everyone is working hard for his own life.
, like a series of biographies, interesting and unforgettable.
I named this little girl with a long ponytail Tingting (author's name: Lynn). After reading the complete picture book, you will get the following information.
All this information was summarized by my son. I asked my son, "How do you know Tingting saves and cherishes her own things?"
He answered
Look! Her goldfish lantern
"
Being pointed out by my son, I found that my son's observation ability is stronger than mine!
In the cool autumn, the town of Wemlingen will hold a pumpkin contest (a special activity in Germany), and children will hold their own lanterns to celebrate Halloween.
Other children may change a different style of lantern every year, but Tingting is carrying the lantern she bought last year (or maybe last year).
Only on the page of "Cool Autumn", there is no goldfish lantern hanging on the ceiling of Tingting's bedroom (because she holds a lantern for the holidays). Whether it's cold winter, warm spring, midsummer, cool autumn or the summer night of the third year, all kinds of furnishings and furniture in the bedroom have changed. Only goldfish lanterns are safely hung on the ceiling of Tingting's bedroom and displayed in front of readers in different postures.
Seeing this, do you think the four seasons are too strong?
Every detail of it is close to life, logical, traceable and worthy of reasoning.
Apart from Tingting, the character I listed, as long as you carefully observe and reason, you will find many such stories and interesting stories of the four seasons, and understand the unique personalities and living habits of different characters (even animals).
Although there is not a word in the picture book Four Seasons Time, if you write down the story of every character or animal in the picture, I think it will be as endless as a year and a night.
Generally speaking, the intensive reading of the picture book Four Seasons Time is close to children's daily life, with clearly classified Chinese and English words, interesting visual "find it" and multi-clue image "story collection" like prose poetry, which is simply a clear stream in the picture book industry.
A thrilling picture book like Four Seasons Time, I think it is worth having for every child!
