Our families get together to play. After dinner, everyone plays games. A mother asked a question to test the children present. This is a multiple-choice question:

Which animals hibernate?

A.mouse b frog c bear d snake

The question is not difficult, and any child with common sense can answer it.

However, Chihiro's answer is a bit special:

Aunt was surprised and asked her, "Chihiro, where did you know about Dormouse?"

"In my mother's story," she imitated my tone, "when the moon happened to be between the new moon and the first quarter moon, six Dormouse families, led by the old Dormouse's white hair, quietly began their annual hibernation migration ..."

I can't help laughing. This is the content of the popular science picture book "Dormouse Hibernation" that I told her recently. If you are interested, search with Baidu and you will find that the dormitory really exists. They are the smallest, most shy and hibernating mammals living in Britain.

I'm not saying this to show off my baby. Chihiro just has some accumulation in reading. I believe there are many children who are more knowledgeable than her. This example is just to share an experience with you:

A good picture book is not only a story appreciation, but also allows children to learn a lot of "hard knowledge".

In addition to the common sense Get in the example, a story can be transformed into a multidisciplinary comprehensive course as long as it is expanded and extended.

Next, I will take the picture book "Hat Shop in Kedou Village" as an example to show you the "magic power" of the big connotation of the short story. ^_^

Usually, I don't deliberately teach Chihiro Pinyin, but I can read more. But think about the rapid progress of primary school pinyin, and occasionally she will teach a little if she is interested.

When I first saw the hat shop in Beidoucun, I had a question: Shell, should I see Joe or Ke? Just use the topic to tell the children about polyphonic words.

I told Chihiro that a word with multiple pronunciations is called polyphony, just like a magician who can change his face. We looked it up in the dictionary together. Different pronunciations of "shell" have different words. Joe's pronunciation is "Earth's crust". Ke's pronunciation is "melon seed shell" and "walnut shell".

The "shell" of "Shell Dou Village" in the picture book is pronounced as Joe. FAGACEAE is a plant species, and FAGACEAE is also called FAGACEAE. About 900 species of evergreen or deciduous trees belong to this plant.

Is it very knowledgeable? Ha ha. Parents can encourage their children to expand. Think about it. What other words belong to polyphonic words like "shell"?

Chihiro quickly thought of "number" (shù) and "countless" (shǔ) in mathematics, as well as "Le" (lè) and "Yue" (yuè).

If your child has been exposed to Pinyin, is it convenient to have a polyphonic word practice when telling this story?

When we opened the title page of the story, the first thing that caught our eye was the hat shop opened by the big guy, the little guy and Juanjuan in the village.

This is the most basic counting and addition, trying to get rid of the logical problems contained in the story.

The hat shop is not doing well. Big, small and curly decided to try Bedou Street in the city. When they came to a big park, they found many rare shell bean trees here.

This FAGACEAE tree is very interesting. Qian Xun asked: Is FAGACEAE the name of these big trees?

No, FAGACEAE is a general term for plants. Oaks and oaks that we are familiar with belong to this family.

When talking about this topic, you will find that this is a good opportunity for children to learn the logical relationship between inclusion and inclusion, such as: Angolan Lopunny-rabbit-herbivore-animal;

Or we can take the closest thing around us as an example: Chengdu-Sichuan-China-Asia-Earth-Universe. After we are familiar with this logical relationship, let's talk about the classification level of things, which makes it easier for children to understand.

The logical relationship of classification is also a common topic in many primary school exams. I think when children are studying with their parents, it will be more natural to digest them if they use vivid and interesting stories to subtly convey knowledge.

As an economist, I have always been sensitive to the details of cultivating children's "financial quotient" in picture books.

The hat shop in Kedou village, I only read it once and confirmed that it is a pretty good picture book of business philosophy. The seemingly simple story contains classic marketing, which is amazing.

Having said that, I can't help but say a few more words. After more than five years of parent-child reading, I found that the difference between picture books is actually very big.

A good picture book, not only the common sense in the story can withstand strict scrutiny, but also incorporates many abstruse and obscure concepts into it, which is really nice.

For example, anthony browne made full use of the geometric principle of imaging contrast in his "Through the Mirror", and Kiriko's "Mystery and Melancholy in the Street" not only has the physical knowledge of light and shadow, but also has surreal painting skills. A good picture book can not only help children learn more knowledge, but also bring full artistic appeal.

Business in big and small hat shops is not good. The villagers said, "A hat is enough." "My hat is not broken yet."

Really can't sell it? This problem involves the relationship between demand and supply.

I asked Chihiro, "Do you only have a pair of shoes and a skirt? I will only buy it if it is broken? "

Chihiro said, "No!"

What is the reason for the bad business of hat shops? Ask the children to help the hat shop make suggestions together!

The first thing big, small and curly think of is to change places. Well, isn't this a commercial area in economics? )

They walked for a few days and came to the city. There are many people here.

The second way they thought of was to hand out leaflets. People should know that there is a hat shop here.

After reading this article, inspired by Chihiro, generate gave its own example. I remember the last flea market organized by our school, and the illustrated billboards we made played a great role.

After the leaflets were sent out, guests finally came to the door. But these guests are not fruits of FAGACEAE. They are frogs, birds and bugs. "The hat here really sucks." The guest said that and left. What happened to the hat?

A hat suitable for a shell bucket is not suitable for frogs or bugs. Different guests have different needs, and products should be adjusted and innovated according to users' needs!

One day, the mother mouse took her little mouse to the store and bought four hats. The adults were very happy. They followed Mother Mouse to see how she put on her hat. Unexpectedly, mother mouse painted beautiful flowers on the hat with pigment, and the hat became beautiful.

The big man suddenly realized: it turns out that our hats are still missing something that makes people shine!

Later, big, small and curly put all kinds of ideas on hats, which attracted a large number of guests. Everyone changed their most precious items into hats.

Finally, I encourage Chihiro to make a small extension: If you were the boss, how would you design your hat? How will it be priced? Is it a single price or different prices?

So, there is the following hand-painted commodity price map. ^_^
