Miyanishi, a Japanese picture book master, is one of the series of Bug Warrior, with humorous style and touching plot. It tells children with the growth stories of three brothers with one-man personality that everyone has his own advantages. Brothers should unite and be good at solving problems with wisdom.
Brief introduction to the story
One-horned forty lang has three children: fifty lang, sixty lang and seventy lang. They grew up in the dirt and were sent to the unicorn school.
Here, they learned calligraphy, horn skills, music, endurance and wrestling. The three brothers have different personalities and specialties. When it comes to exams, Qi Xin and his three brothers work hard together. Seventy Lang skillfully solved a misunderstanding with "bad singing" and passed the exam smoothly, becoming the best samurai.
Aesthetic appreciation
The unique Gong Xida also painted a style that children are familiar with and like. The three brothers with different shapes left a deep impression on the readers: Fifty Lang has the shortest angle, but he is tall and strong; Sixty lang has the longest horn, but his body is thin and long; Seventy lang is in the middle, with neither long nor short horns nor thin figure.
In addition to the difference in figure, there is another obvious difference between the three brothers: the color of clothes. Fifty lang is green, sixty lang is blue and seventy lang is orange.
The shapes of the principal, music teacher and ninja teacher on the cover are also very funny. The headmaster has a moustache, the music teacher has yellow curly hair, and the Ninjutsu teacher wears the iconic samurai costume, which makes the funny story more interesting and full of childlike innocence.
When the three brothers of one-horned fairy grow in the ground, the background color on the ground is varied, representing different seasons and implying the growth habit of one-horned fairy.
The three brothers have different personalities, and the author shows them with several small pictures. For example, when they perform horn skills and sing songs, they show their advantages and disadvantages in cartoons to facilitate children's understanding. In fact, everyone doesn't have to envy others what they have, just like when Seventy Lang envied the skills of the other two, he didn't expect the three brothers to pass the exam and become warriors because of his poor singing.
The three brothers one-horned fairy have experienced many things since childhood, and their expressions and actions are also very rich. They are like elves, full of aura, which is exactly what children know about animals in real life: interesting, kind and spiritual.
The power of language
This little story contains great wisdom. Although the three brothers have different performances in school, they all work hard, don't laugh at others' weaknesses, and know how to appreciate others' strengths. Facing the challenge of shovel armour, they are United, not flinching or afraid, especially Seventy Lang, who stopped the two brothers at the critical moment and avoided a battle.
Brothers live in harmony, and friendship and affection are valuable. "The important thing is not to win or not, but to have the courage not to fight." They have someone else in mind. As long as the three brothers unite as one, they are not afraid of anything.
Observe the details
On the front cover and back cover, the three unicorn brothers changed obviously. On the cover, it can be understood as the state of the three brothers when they just grew up, while on the back cover, the three brothers proudly went to the front line after becoming warriors.
There are nine unicorns on the cover. In addition to the three brothers, the headmaster, the music teacher and the corner teacher, there are three little one-horned immortals behind. Let the children look carefully and tell them who it is.
There is also "Mozart" in the name of the music teacher, which can remind readers of Mozart, the master of music, which is naive and interesting; The consequences of Ninjutsu teacher's spell are really invisible. If you look closely, you will find that he is actually in that pile of leaves, which is very interesting.
At first glance, shovel armor looks very strange, but in fact, its outline is the shape of a unicorn. When they took off their masks and the truth came out, they had to admire the author's meticulous and ingenious design.
Surprise eggs
The story of three brothers with one horn is a good opportunity to popularize science, which can let children know the life habits and characteristics of various insects in the story and stimulate their desire to explore, such as one horn laying eggs in autumn, hatching larvae, overwintering in the third instar, pupating in pupa chamber and adult emergence in late spring.
Miyanishi said that his childhood experiences and emotions were the source of inspiration for his picture books. Insect unicorns are very special. During the summer vacation, he walked into the forest that was not very bright in the morning with a flashlight, and found unicorns and shovel nails on the oak tree, which impressed him deeply.
