Third, the picture book guide
front cover
Analysis:
The cover is a big bear with his head tilted out of the picture, which confirms the title of the book. Brown bear, brown bear, what are you looking at? ",what is it looking at!
Brown bears occupy almost the whole cover, which makes them look naive and charming. How can children not like it?
This is a book that teaches children to know colors. For children, "color" is not only the inspiration and imagination in artistic innovation, but also the understanding and perception of beauty in life. Parents who are good at guiding their children to identify colors must be messengers who love life and spread truth, goodness and beauty; Parents who are good at using the power of color to infiltrate education into all aspects must be smart and elegant parents who can accompany their children to grow up happily. ?
This is a book that can be used to sing. This book has a strong sense of rhythm and keeps repeating the same language pattern. How can singing nursery rhymes make children dislike reading this book?
Three years old is an important period for children's language ability development. During this period, the ability to understand language through logic has not yet formed. Through the perception of rhythm, children let themselves remember pronunciation, and then connect pronunciation with what is in front of them. This is the way for children to know the world and establish contact with it since childhood. Therefore, a wonderful and rhythmic text can easily attract their attention and help them know these lovely animals.
Next, let's enjoy this interesting picture book and feel its catchy language and bright picture.
Blank pages at the beginning and end of a book
Analysis:
Opening the title page is nine common colors in daily life, which are brown, red, yellow, blue, green, purple, white, black and orange from top to bottom. These nine common colors are placed on the ring lining, which inevitably implies that the inner page is a large colorful reproduction.
Children have a gradual process from black-and-white cognition for several months to full-color world, but linking colors with animals better grasps children's cognitive psychology, and animals remember colors and deepen their cognition of animals.
This is a picture book story of childhood. Simple shapes, bright colors, and circulating words make children like it at first sight.
title page
Analysis:
How to read to children and how to digest and absorb them really requires parents to do some homework. Can you give the recording to the children page by page? This is how parents feel, not how children feel. It is difficult to arouse children's interest after watching it many times.
Such a simple and interesting work has excellent sound and rhyme and is not in place. Considering the fundamental differences, reading methods vary from person to person. It is good to read aloud with emotion, but this kind of short sentence like nursery rhymes is not very suitable. Rhythmic rules are a better choice for this rhythmic work.
It is difficult to read a guidebook, and it is even more difficult to tell a good story to a child.
Picture 1
Brown bear, brown bear, what are you looking at? Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see? I see a red bird looking at me. I saw a Hong Niao looking at me.
Analysis:
Brown bear, brown bear, what are you looking at? As the parents read aloud, the children intuitively saw a big bear on the screen. In this way, children also understand the concepts of "brown" and "bear". See the brown bear's huge body, strong limbs and sharp toenails. Carefully observe the bear's expression, round eyes, crooked round head, very simple and honest.
Can parents further describe the physical characteristics and walking style of bears? What does brown bear like to eat? Let the children see the pictures and get the description of the language and other characteristics that lead to bears.
The whole book is composed of Eric Carr's creative stickers, with bright and happy patterns stacked together, which makes it feel clumsy, just like his hungry caterpillar. The book has a special three-dimensional and folding design, which gives the book dual characteristics of reading and playing. His creation reveals childlike innocence, expresses his understanding and care for nature, and also guides children to learn from things around them.
In addition, children can learn grammar from books, appreciate the rhythm of prediction, learn the names of various animals, know colors and broaden their horizons.
This book takes the form of questions and answers, such as: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what are you reading? I see a red bird looking at me. But there is no color in the picture, so the children must be very much looking forward to turning to the next page and seeing the red bird. The stereotype of the author is really powerful!
Picture 2
Hong Niao, Hong Niao, what are you looking at? Hong Niao, Hong Niao, what do you see? I see a yellow duck looking at me. I see a yellow duck looking at me.
Analysis:
As the page turned, a red bird appeared, and the child's expectations were met. We can also ask questions together: Hong Niao, Hong Niao, what are you looking at?
This red bird has red wings. There are different shades of red on the wings, some are deeper, some are lighter, some are reddish with a little purple, and some are red with a little orange. The author also cut out the shape of feathers to let birds fly freely in the air.
Red birds usually like to fly around in the sky. Do you know why it flies? How does Hong Niao fly? Have you ever seen a bird? Do you like birds? A series of problems arise from this.
This book uses repetitive question-and-answer sentences with a strong sense of rhythm, which makes people unconsciously like singing. Reading and singing are really interesting.
In addition, this book has bright colors, lively animals, concise words, lovely painting style and bright colors with great visual impact, and every animal is full and huge! Let children know animals and understand happiness in a colorful world.
It also gives each animal in the book a unique shape and texture. Their colors are bold, bright and unrestrained, just like childhood itself. At the same time, there are subtleties in the simple painting style: every detail of each animal has been carefully portrayed, such as the eyes of brown bears and the wings of birds.
Picture 3
Duck, duck, what are you looking at? Yellow duck, yellow duck, what do you see? I see a blue horse looking at me. I see a blue horse looking at me.
Analysis:
The bird's answer led us to another animal friend, the duckling. Duck, duck, what are you looking at? We can try to encourage children to read it out loud. After two cycles of practice, I believe they have mastered such sentence patterns and rhythms. In this simple and repetitive rhythm, children can not only learn the language, but also know all kinds of small animals and colors. They can randomly create such sentences in their lives. It is really a rare picture book!
The author used a very pure and clean yellow to shape this duckling, with pink flippers, orange mouth, long neck looking back and a cocked tail, which is more interesting. The color with animals is not only bright but also obvious. Children are easy to remember and impressive. They not only remember all kinds of colors, but also know so many animals.
The yellow duck has paddle-like feet to help it swim in the water. It also has a flat mouth and quacks at ordinary times. Parents and children learn ducks together. The same is true for other links.
I see a blue horse looking at me. We are all looking forward to it. What kind of "blue horse" will appear on the next page?
This simple story, if the children are older and read more, can play games and ask questions with their parents.
Pro: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what are you looking at?"
Son: "I see a red bird looking at me."
Pro: "Hong Niao, Hong Niao, what are you looking at?
Son: "I see a yellow duck looking at me."
Professor: Yellow Duck, Yellow Duck, what are you looking at?
Zi: I see a blue horse looking at me.

Analysis:
This blue horse is blue all over, with only four hooves and black eyes. Its hind hoof is slightly tilted and its tail is bent, which seems to be swinging leisurely. It lowered its head and showed its white teeth, as if looking for food on the ground.
May I ask the child if he has seen a real horse? You can give your child extra information about the characteristics of horses, such as running fast, sleeping standing up and having a tail like hair.
Let's ask this blue horse: blue horse, blue horse? what are you reading? I see a green frog looking at me. Let's turn the page quickly and meet the green frog!

Green frog, green frog, what are you looking at? Green frog, green frog, what do you see? I see a purple cat looking at me. I saw a kitten looking at me.
Analysis:
This chubby guy is a green frog! Nature endows it with wonderful colors, and painters show it on paper with different shades of green. Its back is lemon yellow green, its limbs are dark green like jungle and grass, which is convenient for it to hide in its habitat, and the transparent green between the flippers is as green as gauze.
The frog opened his mouth and showed his pink tongue, because it was about to answer our question: green frog, green frog, what are you looking at? I see a purple cat looking at me. My parents described the frog's physical characteristics before turning to the next page, so that the children could have foresight and be more impressed by the pictures they saw later.
Parents can ask: What's the name of the green frog? How did you jump? Learn to jump together and scream together! As for what frogs looked like when they were young, it may vary from person to person.

It turns out that our teacher is also a member of this game. We can carefully observe the teacher's expression, where her eyes are staring seriously. Teacher, teacher, what are you reading? I saw a group of children looking at me.
Near the end, the author broadens the characters in the story, skillfully pulls the "children" outside the story into the story, and brings an immersive game experience to the young readers.

What are you looking at, children? Children, children, what do you see?

How many children are there here? Let's count them together! Who are these boys? Who are these girls? how do you know
The text structure of this book is a group of rings, which is very rhythmic, and the color of each animal is different. It reads like knowing different animals and colors in rap, and it is bilingual in Chinese and English. English reads like singing, and your body moves involuntarily. Then how can you sing like this? Teachers appear, children also appear, and a bigger world is waiting for us to see.
Photo 12
We saw a brown bear, a Hong Niao, a yellow duck, a blue horse, a green frog, a purple cat, a white dog, a black sheep, a goldfish and a teacher looking at us. This is what we see. We see a brown bear, a Hong Niao, a yellow duck, a blue horse, a green frog, a purple cat, a white dog, a black sheep, a goldfish and a teacher looking at us. This is what we see.
Analysis:
Brown bear, Hong Niao, yellow duck ... all these animals appear on the last page of the text, which also shows what the young readers really saw, and makes a review to ask the children to repeat what they saw.
In this repetition, children can understand these colors and animals, and remember them rhythmically, making the cognitive process full of fun and fun.
This is the end of the story. Do children have a new understanding of these beautiful colors? Maybe they will give a broader answer.
Let the children try to read each animal by themselves. What kind of animals do you like best? If mom and dad give you a small animal, what do you want?
This is a bilingual picture book. In repeated sentence patterns, children gradually perceive the rhythm of Chinese and English, and can sing with that rhythm easily and happily! At the same time, it is equipped with large color pictures, so that children can know what their mother is saying even if they don't know what the language they are listening to means.
Lining knot
Analysis:
After reading the story, I really admire the creation of the master. Nine colors add different animals to the body, so that young readers can remember the animals around them together with the colors once and for all. Let children involuntarily think of the animals mentioned in the book as soon as they see the color of the ring lining. Although the color of these animals is not the case in reality, they use it to spread the difference of different colors of an animal.
Whether it's a hungry caterpillar, a brown bear or a brown bear, what are you looking at? "or" little blue and yellow "and so on. All of them profoundly reflect the insight into the child's clear, pure and happy heart. However, in the face of too many impetuous worlds, adults tend to pursue immediate results and plan their children's growth prematurely with their world outlook. Some parents often ask tendentious questions, such as: picture books of achievement habits, picture books of environmental protection, picture books facing divorce, picture books of raising a second child and so on. All this is out of a strong utilitarian heart. But children need more happiness and feelings without distractions. Other effects are needed by parents. It is a leap to make picture book reading return to rationality and truth.
Seal and bottom
Analysis:
Through intensive reading, I have a deeper understanding of this picture book.
In the view of Song Juzhi, the father of Japanese picture books, this kind of works of art are of inestimable value than ordinary identification cards in cultivating children's aesthetic taste; Using the rhetorical style of China's classical poems, we can reproduce various main animals (bears, birds, ducks, cats, dogs and sheep) and colors (brown, red, yellow, purple, white and black) to help children understand them one by one, including Chinese and English vocabulary. The circular pattern forms a plot chain: one animal leads to another animal, and finally leads to teachers and students, and students reproduce the animals and teachers above. This circular structure is especially suitable for making up stories; The Chinese and English sentences on each page are short and clear, like children's songs, which is convenient for children to read and remember naturally.
Good works should have good reading, and good reading should have careful parents. Parents' understanding and interpretation of picture books determines their value.

In addition to hard work, he is more eager to change and create!

This fun and creative process made him feel carefree and led him to create picture books for children in the future. He didn't start writing picture books until he was nearly 40 years old. So far, he has written Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what are you reading? More than 70 colorful and imaginative collage picture books, such as The Hungry Caterpillar, Mr. Hippo and Dad, I Want the Moon, have been translated into many languages, with small readers all over the world and won many world-famous children's picture book awards.
