Seeing the cover of the book has made people fall in love with this book. Opening the ring lining, the three-dimensional watercolor grid on the left only reminds me of the word "beauty" and I can't put it down. Quickly open the first page, the hollowed-out lemon pattern reflects red, but the following words read "Lemon is not red", which immediately aroused the curiosity of the little guy. What is the red one? When I opened it, the child first saw that the red on the right page turned out to be the color of apples, and then looked at the left page, and the hollowed-out lemon was yellow again. Ah, "Lemon is yellow!" On the next page, the hollowed-out carrots are purple, but "carrots are not purple". The new hollowed-out patterns bring new expectations to children, and they immediately have the desire to continue turning pages. After turning the page, they were not disappointed. Purple is eggplant, and the hollowed-out carrots turn orange again. " Carrots are orange! "... in the process of such new expectations and new answers, children know red, yellow, orange, purple, gray, pink, white, brown, blue, green, black and silver, and they are endowed with images and know concrete objects. Among them, lemon, apple, carrot, eggplant and elephant are familiar to children, and some are unfamiliar to children. This combination of the old and the new conforms to the development process of children's cognition, and children can easily know new things without losing interest.
The ending of this book is also very cleverly arranged. "The moon is not black, the moon is silver, and the night sky is black. Good night! " This inner page used a puppy to say good night to the children, and changed a pen to successfully put the children to sleep. Great love, great love!
You will find that the author uses parallelism sentences, which are catchy to read and help children remember. But it is not a complete repetition, and it is perfect with the changes of color, pattern and shape. It's really my love with my son, and I believe all the children will like it.
Lemon is not red was originally a book for children, but for older children, it can also be enjoyed and full of surprises. He can no longer recognize colors and objects, but enjoys the process of change. The ever-changing hollowed-out patterns, the different colors displayed through the patterns and the new things brought by the colors will make them feel excited and look forward to it. No wonder this book won so many American book awards! In this regard, we can cite many examples, such as "Animals should never wear clothes" and "Hungry Little Snake", which were originally suitable for children to read, but children aged four or five often like them very much. Another example is "Mr Moon", which is a book suitable for children over four or five years old, but two-year-old children like it very much because it contains elements he likes. After reading it twice, he always remembers the content. Although he can't understand the inner meaning, as long as he can feel happy, it is enough. So we don't have to care too much about the age requirement when choosing books. There is no limit to reading picture books. As long as the child likes it and can feel fun from it, it is suitable for his age. The process of parent-child reading itself is a process of enjoyment. Let's enjoy the fun of picture books together.
