Mid-Autumn Just one week passed, and the hanging moon gradually changed from round to oval. People's attention to the moon seems to have come to an abrupt end after the festival, but observing the changes in the moon phases should be a very interesting thing for children.
picture book "Dad, I want the moon", mainly depicts a little girl named Xiao Moli who wants the moon in the sky and asks her father to pick it. Then Dad found a very long ladder and put it on the top of the high mountain, climbed up, and picked it off when the moon became a crescent moon. Xiao Moli held the moon in her hand but found that the moon became smaller day by day until it disappeared...
integrated the changes in the moon phase into an interesting story, allowing the child to reflect deeply and intuitively feel the distance between us and the moon - it takes a very long ladder and put it on the top of a very high mountain peak to touch it.
This story seems a bit too spoiled for children. What we have heard since childhood: "Do you still want the stars in the sky?" is mostly insatiable. But in fact, from the perspective of children, there is no so-called insatiableness, only a little curiosity. They are always curious about new things that appear in their surroundings, and it is this curiosity that makes the children's world colorful and full of imagination.
When I saw the cover of this book, the moon looked familiar. Yes, there is also a similar moon in " The Hungry Caterpillar ". Its author is the famous picture book master Erie Carl , who is good at expressing simple innocence in the style of collage .
Picture Book Expansion:
