The protagonist of this book is a blue pickup truck from a farm. When it sends vegetables from farms in the suburbs to the city, it feels the fast-paced life and traffic jams in the city. There are all kinds of transportation in this book, perhaps because the transportation itself is related to children's life experiences, so it is especially popular with children. Moreover, this "blue pickup" series has also been made into cardboard books for children to understand the means of transportation.
This book tells stories from the title page, and these details are generally not easy to understand at the first time. Before it was completely bright, a big street lamp gave off bright yellow light, and a blue pickup truck was waiting there. A worker is pushing some boxes covered with green plants into a pickup truck (what's on the pickup truck? )。
The truck pulled the goods to the gas station. According to the sign, it should be a gas station outside the city, but it has not yet entered the city.
On the next page, the sky turned white, but it was not completely bright. At this time, the headlights of the pickup truck are still on. The road sign shows that you are coming to town, because you can already see the tall buildings and lights in the distant city. On the road in front of the truck, there are animals like squirrels crossing the road. There are still large areas of green plants and flowers of various colors on both sides of the road.
The next cross-page, has entered the city, all kinds of vehicles one after another, street lamps and lights are still on, everyone is moving in an orderly way.
The next spread was all the high-rise buildings in the city, with a little sky color in a gap in the middle, and the blue van looked small from a distance. The lights of street lamps and pickup trucks have gone out, indicating that tomorrow has begun and a new day of life in the city has begun.
On the next page, the vehicles on both sides of the blue pickup truck and the pedestrians on the roadside are in a hurry, as if they could feel the oncoming wind from the picture. Only the blue pickup truck walked unhurriedly, but the double-decker bus behind it was particularly impatient.
Next, every passing vehicle has a reason to rush forward. They all pushed the vans aside and left them behind ... finally, all kinds of situations appeared and everyone could not leave.
The blue pickup truck says you can only take one truck at a time. Mr. Mayor followed the advice of the blue pickup truck, and all the cars in the command post lined up to follow the pickup truck. The roads in the city have been restored to order, and everyone is applauding and cheering for the blue pickup truck.
The blue pickup truck arrived at its destination, and I finally knew what was on it.
Finally, the pickup truck came back happily.
Some people say that this book teaches our children to obey traffic rules. Slow doesn't mean backward. But sometimes I don't particularly emphasize these things, because children will naturally feel something from his perspective during reading. As for what it is, maybe every child is different. Moreover, those authors who really understand children generally don't directly tell readers what they want to express, but leave it to readers to feel. Just like when I was reading this book, what actually attracted me more was the details in every picture that were worth reading repeatedly, and the vitality and temperature of life that everyone in the city gave off when everyone walked in an orderly way at last, which was in sharp contrast with the rush at the beginning of the story and made our hearts warm.
