Illustration of Beauty and the Wolf —— The British beauty picture book writer subverts the fairy tale: How does the long-haired princess Little Red Riding Hood defeat the witch wolf?

The true love rose in Beauty and the Beast was really made by him! The live-action version of Beauty and the Beast has been released for more than a week. Have you seen it?

This is a fairy tale that we are all familiar with.

The prince offended a witch because of his rudeness, and the whole castle was cursed The housekeeper became a candlestick and a teacup, and he himself became an ugly beast.

On the other hand, in a small village, there is a beautiful girl named Belle. She is smart, independent and independent, but she is out of tune with the traditional countryside. These two seemingly incompatible people crossed paths because Belle's father accidentally broke into the territory of the beast.

In order to rescue her father who angered the beast and was imprisoned in the castle, Belle took risks alone and promised to exchange herself for her father, so she began to live with the beast. However, the beast has a bad temper, and Belle is homesick, and they are not happy together.

Once when leaving the castle, Bell met a fierce wolf. At the critical moment, the beast appeared in time, saving her and hurting herself. Berberm had the opportunity to escape alone, but chose to stay with the beast. This opportunity allowed the two to open their hearts and see the bright spots that the other party had never noticed. They began to learn to get along well with each other, and ordinary days became harmonious and joyful.

Their relationship is getting better and better. At this time, Bell's suitor was rejected because of his courtship. He was jealous and incited the villagers to kill wild animals. In order to protect Belle, the beast was attacked and died. Sad Bell expressed her love by crying in front of the fallen beast. The spell was finally broken and the beast became a handsome prince. They finally lived a happy life.

Red roses strung together the whole story.

The witch gave the prince a rose. Only by finding true love before the petals fall can the spell be broken. Otherwise, the prince will always be a beast, a gamble that cannot be turned back.

Bell's father broke into the garden of the beast because he wanted to give his daughter beautiful roses. He was considered a thief and was locked up so that the two could meet.

Belle, who sneaked into the closed room out of curiosity, couldn't help reaching out and touching the beautiful rose. She was caught red-handed by wild animals and driven out just to meet wolves and create an opportunity to get to know each other.

Finally, rose petals fall, true love knocks at the door, and the story ends with a happy ending.

As a fairy tale heroine, Belle is very special. She is not a princess and has no luxury. She prefers reading and thinking to housework. She didn't need the prince to get married, but she saved the lonely and irritable beast and taught him love, respect and hope.

She is a rose in itself, beautiful but prickly, charming and interesting, replacing the fallen one and becoming the most important companion in the life after the prince.

Fairy tales are beautiful because they are difficult to realize, but this rose really exists in our lives.

1999 In London, a woman who loves flowers and her fiance set up a floral company to serve the royal family and European castles. In 2005, this company was bought by a young man named EbraheemAlSamadi, and it was turned into a rose luxury brand named ForeverRose.

Ebraheem accumulated a lot of business experience by reselling out-of-season clothes on Ebay at the age of 14, and became the top seller of 1000 on the website. At the age of 28, he has created a multi-million dollar retail empire. When he settled in Dubai, ForeverRose's main market also moved to the United Arab Emirates.

ForeverRose's roses are all from Ecuador, because it is close to the volcano, and the soil is extremely fertile. The petals of the flowers will be about 10 times thicker than ordinary roses, which will be more abundant and solid.

After being shipped to Dubai, the roses were treated with special potion (trade secret, I don't know). Although it maintains its natural properties, it can be placed in a customized glass cover and can survive forever without sunlight and water. If we have to take the cover away like Belle, the flower can live for three years.

A rose can support a lifetime, and this kind of work that turns fairy tales into reality naturally attracts Disney's attention. In this year's live-action version of Beauty and the Beast, the iconic red rose comes from ForeverRose.

The single bell jar rose in the same movie is called Bella, which is similar to the heroine's name and very romantic.

I'm afraid it's too monotonous. ForeverRose's bell jar roses are not only available in mini and ordinary sizes, but also in as many as 29 colors. Even basic red has different shades.

The most domineering is probably the black rose, with gold stripes on the cover. It is retro and gorgeous, just like the illustrations you will see in storybooks.

This kind of rose is very popular, and the "buyer show" on social media shows us all kinds of fancy gift-giving skills. Please feel free.

Who put a small gift in it?

Plug money directly

The cover is big enough to wear a pair of high heels. It is a girl's ultimate dream to combine Cinderella with beauty and beast.

In addition to single flowers, greedy people can also do multiple-choice questions. Everything looks good except the price is not cute.

Two of them are called BellaSisters (no kidding ~)

Two close friends are called sweethearts.

Three are called BellaBrothers (seriously! )

This group is called theEnchantedGarden (fortunately, there are no other relatives). & lt)

There is also the most luxurious top edition, called theGrandDome.

Ebraheem said that he wanted to bring not only flowers, but also love and romance to those who received permanent roses. Other works, such as birdcage roses, rose barrels and flower boxes, are all wonderful.

Actually, I didn't expect myself to be so vulgar. I always think that Roseonly is not beautiful at all, and "there is only one person in my life" is also very old-fashioned. ForeverRose planted it as soon as I turned my head ~!

It must be the romance of the story.

Regarding the meaning of the rose in this story, some people say that it stands for forgiveness. Although the prince was cursed for provoking the witch, he actually got a chance to remedy it. Some people say it stands for protection. When Belle touched the rose without authorization, the beast rushed to yell at her and tried to protect the rose, but after Belle left, she realized that she was the one she should cherish. Some people say it symbolizes time, and true love waits for no one.

My favorite saying is that it symbolizes suffering. In the process of dying, the beast experienced loneliness, felt despair, met beautiful women, learned gentleness, tried reading and learned elegance. A little bit of growth, all for the beloved, want to be better. After suffering, love is ushered in.

A rose represents a thousand words: apology, redemption, cherish, love, sacrifice, willingness to change, hard work, sweetness ... and what kind of heart do you expect to receive most?

Petals will not fall, and roses will not wither. What I hope is that you don't have to go through twists and turns, but you will also get happiness.

British beauty picture book writer subverts fairy tales: how does the long-haired princess Little Red Riding Hood defeat the witch wolf? Little Red Little Red Riding Hood went through the forest to visit her grandmother's home. Shortly after her departure, she met a wolf. The wolf is hungry. Little Red Riding Hood looks delicious, so the wolf has a plan-he runs to grandma's house first.

Rapunzel lives alone in a tall and dark tower. She is trapped here by a witch who comes to see her every day-"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, put down your long hair."

Wait, isn't this the story of Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel? Ordinary

When you cover your ears and hear cocoons, the next story turns upside down!

When you bowed your head and exclaimed, "This is not the little red riding hood and the long-haired princess I know", Betan Woolvin succeeded in subverting fairy tales.

Recently, Enlightened Children's Library has introduced two works, Little Red Riding Hood Wit and How Bold is Rapunzel, by British picture book rookie Betan Woolvin, which have brought subversive cognition to China readers. Little Red Riding Hood Wit, as the first novel of Petain, won the Macmillan Illustration Award in 20 14 and the The New York Times Best Children's Book Award in 20 16.

It was the hero in the story who changed your fate and saved you from the fire pit!

What? That's impossible! Are you going to fight the bad guys alone? How can you two fragile girls defeat wolves and evil witches alone?

Still, it's unbelievable! Is there any evidence to prove that everything you said is true?

The wolf proves that the horse is really convincing.

It must be difficult to face an opponent many times stronger than you alone. What kind of wisdom and courage help you overcome evil?

I didn't expect you to be such a little red riding hood and a long-haired princess, but what is certain is that the book Wit Little Red Riding Hood can be a blockbuster as soon as it debuted, which is inseparable from Petain's distinctive personal style:

A large color block with strong contrast

、

Simple strokes,

also

The best way to catch people's eyes

Little Red Riding Hood's facial features are so simple, but it clearly shows the change of her expression-

From the impatience when I received my mother's task, to the supercilious look when I pretended to be cheated by the wolf, to the snickering before the plan was implemented, and finally to the joy of wearing a wolf coat, it was humorous and wonderful.

The richness of the picture and the interest of the story also make this picture book version of Little Red Riding Hood stand out among countless adapted images of Little Red Riding Hood.

Also with a pair of big eyes as the cover, Petain's second book, How Bold Rapunzel is, further developed her distinctive humorous style and enriched the details.

For example, the book How to Beat the Witch, which she learned in the forest, and the little animal friends who secretly followed her into the tower are all elements that readers can easily ignore for the first time, but they can't help but smile when they find it.

This bold Rapunzel becomes a bounty hunter at the end of the story, which makes the contrast and turning point between the old and new stories more interesting.

In addition to its distinctive style, Petain's subversion is mainly reflected in people's settings for it. The princess in the traditional fairy tales that we often read has a characteristic that she lacks subjective will and is always in a passive state.

Although Petain's little red riding hood and Rapunzel seem indifferent to everything, they actually have many circuitous ideas in their hearts. They make and implement plans through their own thinking, and carry them out smoothly, thus completing self-help. They will retaliate and know what they want.

In fact, in recent years, Disney's animation and live-action movies have been trying to break through the traditional female role setting, such as Bell in Beauty and the Beast and Aisha in Frozen. From Disney to Petain, we will find that the heroine in fairy tales is constantly "evolving".

Become more confident, braver, more independent-more humane.

Works like Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel are gradually overthrowing the heavy gender stereotype and telling our children-girls and boys-

No one is destined to be saved by anyone.

About the author:

With this debut novel, she won the Macmillan Illustration Award in 20 14 and the The New York Times Children's Book Award in 20 16.

Appreciation of picture books: laughter in and out of the play —— Reading When the Wolf is Hungry I. The story of When the Wolf is Hungry

Who is the real mother of this book?

This is beauty: KrisDiGiacomo.

French illustrator, born in Brazil, has lived in Paris ever since. Studying painting and sculpture at Parsons Institute of New Design in Paris. My first job after graduation was to teach children English. This job made her interested in children's literature and illustration. Besides English and French, she thinks pictures are her third language, because it is a way of communication that the whole world can understand.

Chris has been working on creating children's picture books. She likes to mix a variety of painting media and methods because "there is enough possibility to break the rigid real life". No matter Yu Ben's ten children's picture books, such as The Day I Lost My Superpower and Wolf Lala, or her independent works Everybody Loves to Say Hello, The Story of Xiaomei, Lulu's Basket, etc. They are full of free and easy charm and there are no fixed rules to follow. She has created more than twenty children's picture books, but she is still looking for "the treasure hidden in the ruins of memory".

Second, what is this story about?

Cover information:

When the title tells us the hero and what will happen-the wolf is coming and hungry, the title gives us an adverbial of time-xxxx, which naturally leaves a blank behind and gives us unlimited room for speculation!

Insert a popular science:

Crosstalk is a kind of folk art, which is called single stand-up cross talk, double cross talk and cross talk performed by three or more people. It used to be called "three people". "Crosstalk" and "Crosstalk" are both names that appeared after liberation.

This book is a bit like Crosstalk. The common prop in this kind of cross talk is not the mallet commonly used in stand-up cross talk, but "dang!" Similar to a mallet. Every soldier, the baggage will be opened. If you don't believe me, let's take our time.

Edmund with a long nose lives alone in the wolf country all the year round. This Sunday, he left his home in the deep forest with a knife.

He wants to eat a big rabbit meal.

Look, the luggage appears: why does it say "have fun" here? Took a knife. Please mark it here first.

By the way, don't keep rabbits in ordinary fences, never.

What he wants is a rabbit that lives in the city, takes seeds as the staple food, has soft fur and a faint bean smell!

Does this make us wonder whether the rabbits in the forest do not meet these requirements? I have to go to the city to find mark2, an unusual rabbit pen.

He jumped on his bike and rode to the city, determined to find such a rabbit.

He came to a building and glanced at the name on the doorbell. His eyes stopped at Mequez Ou Ma Deuce, the fifth floor of Mini Rabbit.

Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha! Edmund was very happy.

He pressed the elevator button with a sharp knife.

When!

Crosstalk props first appeared.

In the elevator, he adjusted the bow tie again, because even wolves who love to eat can't forget elegance.

However, he left the knife in the elevator.

Undoubtedly, this plot is another burden. So, we have the second appearance of props.

When!

Miss Turkey on the third floor just got back from the cake shop.

"ah! There is a knife. Just for cutting cakes. "

Somebody's coming.

Outside the elevator, Edmund suddenly realized his mistake and pressed the elevator button again.

oh

(Please automatically fill in Degang Guo's "ho")

The knife is missing.

It seems that this method doesn't work, so he quickly got on his bike and went home with a saw.

Fat rabbit, absolutely delicious!

Next, we read the luggage coherently:

When!

This is Brother Bear who lives on the fourth floor.

"Hello, Sir! Are you a new neighbor? "

"No, well, yes, yes."

Edmund told a lie with a straight face.

"Welcome to move to this building. Aren't you holding a saw? "

"That's right."

What are you going to do with it?

"Saw rabbits, er, saw cypresses."

"So, if I borrow it from you tonight, will it delay you?"

"There is a wall on the top floor, and I want to cut it down."

"Then take it."

Alas!

How irritating!

Edmund went back to the first floor.

Rope! This is the tool he needs!

Tie up the rabbit and eat it slowly.

In the blink of an eye, Edmund rode back again. He feels more and more hungry, which must be caused by exercise.

When!

In the elevator, a skunk is holding a big package.

"Hello, are you a new neighbor?"

"Yes, yes." Edmund mumbled a few times.

"Nice to meet you. Wow! Is that a rope in your hand? "

"yes."

"Can you give it to me? It is really difficult for me to carry this big package. "

I can see that.

"Come on."

I was so happy that the skunk quietly farted.

Edmund decided to take the stairs down-

The air in the elevator is getting a little smelly.

Forget it, forget it, forget it!

He came home soon and took the biggest can.

Throw the rabbit into the pot and eat it whole.

Yes, that's it!

Edmund panted back to the building.

"Oh!" A big cow is waiting for the elevator.

"Sir, sir"

"My name is Edmund with a long nose."

"New neighbors! So happy! What a beautiful pot. "

"Isn't it!"

"Since we are neighbors, would you like to lend me the pot if it's not too much trouble?"

"But I also want to use it."

"That's too bad, my husband aldo will be very disappointed. But it doesn't matter, will you explain it to him yourself? "

"So! Then lend it to you and take it! "

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! What a nuisance! It's really disgusting!

Ok, then bake it and eat it!

You don't even need to remove the fur and ears, but put them on the grill.

This time, Edmund tied the trailer to the back of the bike and set off again.

When!

Oh! Miss millet with a matchbox.

"ah! What an elegant man. Do you live here? With your parents? "

"Well, I live alone," Edmund stammered.

"Great!" The charming Miss Milletre continued, "Isn't this a barbecue grill? I just need it. Thank you, Mr. Friendly Wolf. I hope to see you again soon. "

Ah! ! !

"That's enough! If I want to eat him raw, I'll put some sauce on it. "

Edmund reached the fifth floor without meeting any neighbors.

There is a small note on the rabbit's door.

I'm on the top floor.-Rabbit.

"Dear rabbit, I want to eat you!"

At this point, the ups and downs ahead are enough. What will happen next?

"Ah! This is our new neighbor. Come and join us! "

"Come on, elegant new friend."

"wow! You brought your own mustard. "

"What a good neighbor!"

"Yes, come closer, we won't eat you!"

Edmund's vegetarian wolf has moved to the city. (sign on the door: vacant room for rent)

Business card: Edmund with long nose, vegetarian wolf, president of good-neighborly friendship association.

It's done.

Third, the story in the play laughs outside the play.

Are you satisfied with the final cross talk ending?

A good cross talk will not only make you laugh in class, taste it carefully, but also find more and more jokes. After listening to this story, if you are still unfinished, we might as well have a look again. Is there still some baggage to consider in this cross talk?

After reading this book, let's go back to the first two marks.

Mark 1, why does Edmund, who lives deep in the forest, want to eat a big rabbit meal? The word "have fun" is obvious. It must have been hard for Edmund to eat rabbits before, so he went back and forth so affectionately. Then why is it so difficult to eat a rabbit?

Mark2 Edmund wants to eat rabbits with "seeds as the staple food, soft fur and faint bean smell". Does this make us wonder whether the rabbits in the forest do not meet these requirements? I have to go to the city to find an unusual rabbit. Aren't there rabbits like this everywhere in the forest?

Let's review the cover state of this wolf again. Look at him in a suit and tie, holding a knife and fork, quietly waiting for the rabbit to enter the dish. Did he really eat rabbits in the forest? Does he really know rabbits in the forest? Is he really suitable for tearing rabbits by hand?

Is it really not a joke that a mouse who drank China Maotai went to find a cat with a brick in his hand?

Think of Elysium!

Here, we might as well judge what kind of wolf this wolf is by looking for details.

First of all, the Appearance Association told us that this is an elegant wolf. For example, "in the elevator, he adjusted his bow tie again, because even wolves who love to eat can't forget elegance." Even for elegance, I don't hesitate to sacrifice "food". Although he thought he was a foodie, he couldn't forget elegance because he left his knife in the elevator.

Secondly, this is an insincere wolf, and it should be his simplicity that leads to his insincerity. For example, when a bear borrowed a saw, he said, "Then take it," but he couldn't escape a deep sigh, "Alas!" All this shows that he is not the kind of smooth wolf. He doesn't consider so many variables when he does things, and he almost tells the truth in an emergency.

He is also a kind wolf. For example, although the skunk was struggling to carry a big package, he reluctantly lent the rope to others. When he went home by stairs, he had no choice but to complain.

He is also a wolf who likes simple communication. For example, in order not to explain to Mr. Niu why he didn't lend him the pot, he simply lent it out. As for why you don't lend your things to others, you have to explain to others. Oh, maybe he's just a little hungry. Maybe he really doesn't like the trouble of dealing with people.

He is still a lonely wolf. For example, he saw the beautiful Miss Wolf become incoherent. When Miss Wolf asked him if he lived with his parents, he quickly reported his situation. When Miss Milletre asked him about his barbecue grill, he forgot to say anything. So a series of disgusting things followed. I really doubt that what he said was that he lost his tools for catching rabbits again, or that he forgot to say one more word to please Miss Milletre.

In a word, this is actually a tame wolf who has never killed a rabbit himself, a simple, honest, kind, simple and lonely wolf who is persistent in his goal and not afraid of failure.

Of course, what changed the wolf in the end? Can only say that "heroes are sad and beautiful." Although Edmund the wolf finally gave up the rabbit feast and became a vegetarian and a pioneer in helping others, people finally hooked up with the hero and indulged in the arms of beautiful women.

Is the story that simple?

Of course, "the hero is sad about beauty" is an official statement. In private, can we boldly imagine that this wolf named Edmund is actually a Q wolf who doesn't even dare to kill rabbits. In order to save face, he has to use knives, saws, ropes, pots and grills to give himself courage. The rabbits in YY forest were not delicious, so he ran to the city and designed various ways to deal with rabbits, but the plan was difficult to implement?

In this way, it becomes less far-fetched to give up his tools again and again. You see, in the end, when he really couldn't see other neighbors, he had to go to the top floor to face the rabbit and pinch a lifeline-mustard sauce! Even the top floor was threatened by rabbits. "Come closer, we won't eat you!" "

However, when Edmund meets the residents in the building again and again, he has been deeply immersed in the lie of "deadpan" again and again. Believe it or not, the last time he caught rabbits with his bare hands, he was full of expectation that he would meet "neighbors" instead of "other residents". There is nowhere to hide his timidity, but there is no need to hide it any more. The word "neighbor" is enough for him.

As for why not kill the rabbit in the end? Maybe it's because I don't want to kill people, maybe it's because beautiful women smile.

"When!"

How did I bring this book that caused countless children to laugh and read it with my children? So much for today's stand-up comedy. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
