You may wonder, do children over 6 still have to read picture books? ( 1)

Song Juzhi, the father of Japanese picture books, said that the words in picture books are concise, rational and emotional. Parents reading picture books to their children are like sowing the seeds of happiness. When seeds take root in children's hearts, parents and children will establish an unbreakable parent-child relationship.

Its content can stimulate the dialogue between parents and children and connect the telepathy between parents and children.

There are many beautiful things in the world. Picture books narrow our horizons, set the focus of vision, and create concrete images to bring to our children and us. These things that we inadvertently saw, paid attention to, but didn't really understand with our heart suddenly stood out, and our happiness was amplified.

Picture books are also the starting point of imagination, providing children with experiences and wild opportunities.

In the growth of children, the nourishment of picture books is indispensable.

You may wonder, do children over 6 still have to read picture books? Of course, even if we adults love it, we can still draw nutrition and energy from it.

However, if the child is used to your absence, just like the father in the picture book, he will not return to her until Xiao Doudou grows into a bean sprout. Maybe you're not that important ...

A picture book that needs quiet reading

Ma Chuan's impression: There are no gorgeous colors and thrilling stories in the book, and the overall painting style is plain and old-fashioned, but why did you get the gold medal from Cadillac? Only when we calm down, open it and have a face-to-face conversation with it can we appreciate the true meaning of the company that books bring us. It seems that when reading, we should slow down and speak slowly, for fear of disturbing the animals and Amos in the book.

Content abstract: The love trilogy of German writer Daniela Coulo: Crocodile in Love with Giraffe, Moving in and Moving in, and Perfect Couple are very classic books to educate children about their love and marriage. Of course, parents will also gain a lot from reading it.

"Crocodile falls in love with giraffe" can be described as a "love article", which describes the process of crocodile and giraffe falling in love hard; "Move over, move over" can be described as a "marriage-seeking article", which is about their difficulties in life; "A Match Made in Heaven" can be described as a "social article", which describes how they endure and escape in the face of ridicule from outsiders, and finally gets everyone's understanding and welcome.

Ma Chuan's impression: Perhaps, in the eyes of many parents, it is inconceivable to talk about love with their babies. They are so young, can they understand? In fact, children aged 3-6 are in a gender-sensitive period. If your baby often asks you what marriage is, you might as well take him to see this interesting picture book.
