She even climbed into old Julian's car behind her mother's back, just to follow him into the mountains and see butterflies flying in nature.
This is the plot in the French film Butterfly. Lisa's mother is very busy and only takes her to "see a movie and then eat McDonald's."
Facing a pupa, she asked old Julian, "What brand is this butterfly?"
The child's thirst for knowledge is infinite, but it is only the lack of world exploration that makes her ask such ridiculous questions.
There are many children like Lisa. They like all magical things, including insects, but seldom touch them. Little things like tadpoles, caterpillars and cicadas in the park are already rare surprises. We are too busy to take our children to explore in the wild.
In this case, it is very necessary to buy some related popular science books for children.
The book illustrated insects is very suitable.
The mobile graphic insects:
A large number of parents think that such a professional book is really unnecessary because children don't understand it.
Some parents think that bugs are just a part of childhood.
Children like bugs when they are young, but naturally they don't like them when they grow up.
Too much investment for staged preferences is too spoiled for children.
In fact, children's cognition starts from childhood and also from insects.
Long before dinosaurs and birds, insects were the first conquerors of the sky.
On the earth, most of the existing flowering plants rely on insects for pollination. They are interdependent with plants and evolve together, forming the foundation of the earth's ecosystem.
Systematic and clear knowledge of insects can not only help children to establish their own knowledge system and reading habits, but also help children understand the planet we live on from the beginning of understanding insects.
The person in charge of approving this book, the Pension Dream Department, said:
In addition, insects are closely related to the development of human civilization. In The Great Insect, it was introduced that insects caused mass extinction, such as plague. We all think that the transmission route of plague is rats, but in fact it is mainly caused by Xenopsylla cheopis, which is parasitic on rats.
And dengue fever, which makes us pale. It is spread by mosquito bites.
Another example is sleep encephalitis, river blindness and so on. These terrible diseases that affect human civilization are basically caused by insects.
There are also insects that deeply affect people's lives, such as locusts, rice elephants, flies and so on.
They have always been closely related to our lives and never left.
Of course, all this must be based on interest. If children don't like it, they lose their meaning.
In fact, many children are very afraid of bugs. When they see bugs, their faces will change.
In fact, most of these children's "fears" are caused by their parents' over-protection, and a small part of them are bitten by insects because of the unknown in the process of exploration, leaving unpleasant memories.
Insects are a very large population. At present, there are at least 654.38+00 million species of insects living on the earth, but only 950,000 species are named.
For example, the history of dragonflies is much longer than that of humans. The prehistoric dragonflies were huge, and what we see now is very small.
Only by letting children fully understand the known parts can they explore happily.
This book, Moving Illustrated Insects, is thoughtful on this point:
First of all, it reduces the difficulty of reading popular science books.
This book first defines insects: the insect body is divided into three parts, with three legs at each end of the chest, some with wings and some without.
Including antenna, compound eye, exoskeleton and valve, are described in detail.
So we can easily judge that Ma Lu, centipede and spider are not insects.
So where do these "bugs" belong?
For example, a spider has two bodies, no tentacles and wings, and eight feet. Although it belongs to arthropods like insects, it is obviously excluded from Insecta.
Second, cleverly reduce fear and stimulate curiosity.
The illustrated Insect is painstaking in its compilation.
For example, butterflies and moths belong to LEPIDOPTERA, but their pupae look much worse.
Have a strong sense of weaving
Have a strong sense of metal
This strong contrast is super shocking.
Another example is the golden mantis of Mantidae, the blue bee of Hymenoptera, and the Optima precious turtle of Coleoptera. They are not a category, but they are equally radiant and dazzling.
People can't help but find out.
Third: the content is very interesting.
Insects, like humans, have strict social organization and interaction, and their love and war are no different from humans.
For example, some kinds of aphids will hire ants as bodyguards to protect themselves, and they will secrete a honey dew as a reward.
Insects also quarrel with each other. They fight, dance and even give bride price for courtship.
For example, the beetle of spades "rushes to the crown and turns into a beauty". For the sake of her sister, if she doesn't promise, she will fight:
Mosquitoes and scorpions are the most real, fighting is uncivilized, and people give gifts, not to be empty, but to send something delicious:
Will also become a suitable "bear parent"
For example, a field turtle kills other people's children while protecting its own children. Such parents are really "bears".
Insects defend themselves, not only imitating, but also farting; Not only smelly, but also hot.
Children are interested and naturally can't put it down.
Many people will say, in the multimedia age, why do you still read books? Free video resources on the internet. Doesn't it smell good? Why spend money on books?
Indeed, the video shows us the dynamics of insects, which is more vivid and three-dimensional.
But there is no denying that there are too many videos, and blue light has an impact on children's vision.
Moreover, the video is passively input, and it is effortless to understand. Books rely on words and static pictures to convey information, which is especially beneficial to cultivate children's understanding ability.
And "Insects with pictures and pictures" is very irreplaceable in the current popular science children's books.
First of all, it is intuitive enough.
At the beginning of the book, there is such a size description:
Most preschool children have no concept of size. We told them, "Baby, Papilio alexandrina is 1 10- 120mm long." They must look confused.
But the image on this page of this book is the actual size, so we can tell them, "Baby, the Papilio Alexandria is so big."
We can also point to the small green strip next to the corn elephant and tell them, "Baby, the corn elephant is so big."
Second: adequate system.
If no one tells you, it is hard to imagine that giraffe shovels and rice elephants with a length of more than 1 10 mm belong to COLEOPTERA.
This book systematically records beetles, scarabs, fireflies, ladybugs, weevils and other insects under COLEOPTERA. No matter who looks at it, a relatively complete and systematic knowledge system will be established in his mind.
Not only that, the book gives a systematic introduction to every kind of insect, from its living habits, to what can be found in Japan, to what is known in the world, from surface to surface, and then to surface, which is very detailed.
You can't find the intimate details of this book in any similar book.
Children's thirst for knowledge is the most precious. This well-made book deserves every child's possession.
