12. The Very Hungry Caterpillar
In today’s picture book promotion, let’s introduce a famous caterpillar "The Hungry Caterpillar". This caterpillar has been translated into 47 languages and published and sold more than 30 million copies. Imagine how many curious pairs there are.
I have read it with my eyes, how many immature little hands have touched him, and see how this little egg turns into a beautiful butterfly under the moonlight.
Eric's books are really suitable for children. They are colorful, and most of them have large and vivid images. They are very attractive to children who are new to picture books. Brother Hou has seen his "Brown Bear", "Moving from Head to Feet", "Dad, I Want the Moon", and "Mr. Sea Horse".
Of course, Hou Ma also likes it, especially "Hungry Caterpillar" and "Hippocampus". "Sir", through interesting paintings, to teach children some biological knowledge and love, is really commendable.
The meaning of the book is very simple, a small and hungry caterpillar crawls out of a small egg, and then after some time, it eats something, and finally becomes a butterfly.
But it's so simple, it's not even a storybook, but the content is very rich. After reading a lot of picture books with Brother Hou, I found that one of the characteristics of picture books that children like is simple language, rich content, and silent moisturizing.
For example, the language of this book: "On Monday, he ate an apple, but his stomach was still very hungry" "On Tuesday, he ate two pears, but his stomach was still very hungry" and "On Wednesday, he ate three plums,
However, the stomach is still very hungry" This sentence pattern repeats until Friday. The sentence pattern is simple and repetitive, and there are echoes and correspondences. The children will know some numbers and the concept of the day of the week, as well as fruits, and "hungry".
In fact, the more we become accustomed to some things, the more difficult it is for us to explain them to children. For example, what is hunger, you tell him "the empty stomach wants to eat, as opposed to full"?
It's strange that he is interested in remembering, so he might as well pick up the picture book subtly. Brother Hou is two years old today.
In the morning, Hou's Mom said, "I'm going to eat!" The bastard Pippi said "Don't eat anymore! Get hungry!" Knowing to make a joke about "hungry", it is hard to say that there is no credit for "The Hungry Caterpillar".
Perhaps the most attractive thing for children in this book is the holes in the things that have been eaten by caterpillars. There are really holes in the book. They are small and round, just enough to reach the baby's fingers, and the baby smiles. It's fun to play with your fingers.
Adults find it very interesting. There are also books that feel very three-dimensional, because for example, eating an apple has only a narrow page as wide as an apple, and eating two pears has a page as wide as two pears. The following figure:
However, the book also considered that because of the influence of the length of the pages, a piece of white paper was allocated, as shown in the picture below, but this piece of white paper was matched by me, and the original one was thickly taken away and scribbled.
The caterpillar, who was still hungry after Friday, broke out on Saturday. After eating a lot of food, his stomach hurts. Here is an interesting detail. Originally, the caterpillar’s face was red, but when the stomach hurts, it is very sickly pink, and pitiful.
Then the next day it felt more comfortable after eating a tender green leaf, and at this time its face was red again.
Then, the caterpillar grew bigger.
Then, the caterpillar made a cocoon.
Then, ah! The caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly.
This is the whole thing about this vivid book. Mom and baby are very happy to read it. Maybe, when you think that the interest of this book makes you feel that what you learn is not important, you just learned a lot.
Repetitive and slightly changed things make people happy, like a gradual life.

14. Goodnight Moon
"Good Night, Moon" is a deceptive book. At first glance, it is extremely simple. The color's main tone is red and green. On the retrospective page, it is processed in black and white tones.
The sky is getting late and the colors are getting darker. Composition single scene, just like the bunny's home before going to bed, and a few stars outside the window, half moonlight. Text-a few words, the little bunny said to the surrounding scenery one by one: Good night.
Just such a bedtime book. The words are over. That's it.
That's it? Many things can't be finished in a few words, and the power of words will never be as powerful as you think.
If you really get this book, if you don't turn it over and toss it a few times, you can't see it at all. In the process of reading this book, it is as if you are the little rabbit, rolling left and right on the bed, tossing and turning, and when you are exhausted fall asleep peacefully.
The most interesting part of this book is that it turns over and over again. You have to look over and over again, over and over to confirm your previous impressions and impressions, over and over and over and over again be defeated by the errors and surprises, and then, you will say good night with the little rabbit with all your heart!
First, the scene, the fireplace, the paintings, the table, the bedside table, etc. The little rabbit is lying on the bed, bored. When I turned the page, two black-and-white images appeared, which turned out to be the previous hanging paintings on the wall. In order to verify, I had to turn back and take a look.
The scene inside the house reappeared, only slightly enlarged. Turning the page again, there are two more black and white pictures, one is a bedside table, and I have seen before. Another one, wow! Don't have such fun! When does an old lady weaving wool come out? When you look back in a hurry, you were deceived!
After that, you will become tentative and cautious, but you still can't stop the author's tricky tricks-the cat, in the initial picture; the socks on the shelf-gone; the hut, turn back Only found the first few pages; where is the mouse? Where's the mouse? Where's the mouse?
The process of the little rabbit saying good night to everything inside and outside the house is the process of finding the existence of everything. It spared no effort to find it, and it spared no effort to be exhausted.
The light in the room slipped away, and the stars and the moon lit up quietly. The fire is booming, little rabbit, good night!
15. The Going-To-Bed Book
This is a super bestseller on Amazon. It is also recommended by many domestic and foreign children's book lists!
For the little guy who doesn't want to sleep, a funny book is exactly what they want. Speaking of funny books, Sandra Boynton is undoubtedly a queen in this regard. In "It's Time to Sleep", a big ship full of animals is accompanied by a sinking sunset, and the animals are about to go to sleep.
They take a bath ("in a big bathtub"), find pajamas, brush their teeth, exercise on the table (imagine: elephants are jumping rope, moose are lifting weights, pigs are standing upside down), and finally, they say good night.
The moon is high, the sea is deep, shake, shake, shake to... a sweet dream! Over the years, Boynton’s unique animal characters have added luster to a large number of picture books.
She has extraordinary skills that children like simple rhythms, stupid animals in stupid situations, and warm stories. This book, like many of her other cardboard books ("Moo, Bae, Lala La!", "But No Hippo", etc.), will be everyone's favorite book. (Infant to preschool age)
16. What’s Wrong, Little Pookie?
Boynton is back! Our favorite children's book author has written another popular work.
It talks about children having strong emotions—unhappy or angry or bored or helpless—but it cannot explain their feelings or the reasons for these feelings. A child fell into depression, and the person caring for it asked a series of questions to know the reason for it.
The adult's question is presented in thick black font, and the reply is written in small red letters. are you tired? no. Are you hungry? no. Did you lose something? no.
In the end, the adult realized that he might not be able to receive a definite answer, so he started asking funny and boring questions, making him laugh, and helping him out of his predicament.
This question-and-answer approach makes this book very suitable for parents and children to read together. This is a cute little book and a good tool to help children regulate their emotions. Super recommended!

17. But Not the Hippopotamus
A shy hippo makes a big impact in this anniversary edition of a Sandra Boynton classic. A hog and a frog cavort in the bog. But not the hippopotamus. A cat and two rats are trying on hats.
But not the hippopotamus. The original But Not the Hippopotamus was an instant favorite among children and parents. Now this hilarious Boynton book is back in a Special 30th Anniversary Edition, complete with its silly rhymes and humorous, charming illustrations.
In this simple, playful board book, a shy hippo watches as other animals engage in social activities. Finally, the other animals invite the hippo along and, after dithering a moment, she leaps into the fun...with hilarious results.

18. Rainbow Fish
Buying the children's book "Rainbow Fish", the little guy is of course far from being able to really read the content, but this colorful and beautiful book really attracted him among the many newly purchased books, and he took it out to read it happily.
I flipped through the contents of the Rainbow Fish, so I became entangled. Maybe he should throw it away while he didn’t understand it, so as not to read such a “bloody” book; or it should be shown to him, just a few pages.
The picture book is soaked in the nature of human nature and the state of affairs in the world, so that he may be educated and harmonized with the world.
The story is about nothing more than a fish with colorful and silvery scales by nature. It is the most beautiful fish in the deep sea, but it is not gregarious. A small fish asks him for a silver scale. He refused.
Who thinks you are and why should I? If you want to pull out your scales and put them on your body, he told the whole school of fish about this, so no one cares about this beautiful fish.
He is very painful. Why is he so beautiful but everyone doesn't like him. Later, the squid master told him that if he distributed the silver scales to everyone, he would no longer be beautiful, but he would be happy.
So in the end, "The First Beauty in the Deep Sea" stripped out all the beautiful scales of the fish in the sea, leaving only one piece by itself, so the whole school of fish has silver scales, everyone is the same, everyone is happy, "the deep sea is not No matter how beautiful, I finally had a sense of belonging and happiness for the first time, and I was dragged by everyone to play together.
This story is packaged under "sharing education", but it has ups and downs to the laws of survival and the truth in the world. Benefit-sharing, convergence, and gregariousness. The rainbow fish eliminates the characteristics bestowed by heaven, and all the fish become the same and harmonious group.
Isn’t the goal of human society’s efforts to tolerate dissidents and pursue excellence? Work hard to maintain yourself, and welcome all friends who are different from us, weaker or stronger than us, and we applaud enthusiastically for any fireworks that are different...
Little rainbow fish, did it hurt when you pulled out the shining scales? Is there bleeding? Have you ever thought that there should be another kind of happiness that is not so painful and distorted?
And as for every ordinary mother, should we encourage the little guys to "do not know the truth", or should they mature sooner or later and effectively and effectively "socialize"?
According to the child's father: "From then on, there is no real rainbow fish in the deep sea."

But he was determined that his daughter would say "Dada!" before any other word. He worked very hard on this. Jimmy Fallon lives with his wife, Nancy, and their daughters, Winnie Rose and Frances Cole, in New York City. Winnie's first word was "Mama!"
