Painted by the grandson of Zhan Tianyou, a famous children's artist, one of the "Three Musketeers" of Shanghai Animation Film Studio and the honorary winner of the "chinese comic Golden Monkey Award" of the Comic Art Committee of China Artists Association, and edited by Lin Songying, a famous children's literature writer, the picture book "Zoo" vividly depicts all kinds of animals in the zoo in the form of pictures and texts.
Bauer, who likes small animals, pesters me to take her to read it twice a day. Although she can't read, she can't help but open the pictures again and again at home, and she can't get tired of reading them. When she comes across a favorite nursery rhyme, Bauer can imitate and interpret it smoothly while reading it several times.
On the title page of the book, there are three little dolls with pigtails and red faces holding hands and going to the zoo to play. Two birds are chirping overhead. The bright yellow background and the smile on the little doll's face let us capture their happy mood immediately.
Imitate the funny and lovely chimpanzee, skating with one hand and riding a unicycle with the ball in the other. The girl in a red skirt is holding an ostrich egg nearly a quarter of her body.
The sly red fox blinked, licked his lips and stared at the big cock running in front. There were two gentle and powerful kangaroo mothers in his pocket, and the children kept laughing.
The nursery rhymes in the book are easy to understand, the rhythm is natural and lively, the sentences are short and vivid, the rhythm is cheerful and clear, the imagination is strange and novel, and the words are playful and funny, so that children can know and understand the habits and characteristics of animals through dynamic, intuitive and childlike forms.
The lively and lovely image of the little sea lion is displayed in front of the children. Children learn to lie on their backs on the carpet and hold balloons with their noses. They tried again and again, clapping their hands, singing children's songs and doing actions.
I believe that if the children go to the zoo next time and see the real little sea lion, they will instantly think of this classic nursery rhyme they have read.
Parents usually take their children to the zoo and find that children like to get close to small animals, such as feeding goldfish, giraffes and pigeons by hand, and by the way, they can get close to their favorite small animals.
The author of this book captures the characteristics of children, not only painting animals vividly, but also painting the scene of children interacting with animals.
For example, a little boy is holding a fresh bamboo and bending down to give it to the lovely panda opposite. A little girl and a little boy carried a bucket of potatoes on a pole and walked to the hippo opposite with their mouths higher than those of the two children. The child instantly realized how much the hippo could eat.
In the picture book Nursery Rhymes in the Zoo, the author's exquisite and vivid painting skills and well-written descriptions make children feel the charm of words, and they can know and understand their favorite small animals without going to the zoo and learn to live in harmony with animals.
