One day ago, my mother came home from get off work and excitedly patted a paper bag in her arms and said she wanted to introduce a good friend to me. Although I was a little curious, I still hope to get into my mother's arms first. It’s a bit sad to say that. Since my four and a half months old mother came to work, every Monday to Friday, the moment I look forward to is the moment when my mother crawled into her arms after get off work; every weekday, I have to wait for this moment for the whole day! Everything is always so beautiful in my mother's arms! Usually my mother always looks at me with a smile and asks me if I am happy today. When I can’t speak, she always seems to get the answer from my eyes. Then, she put her forehead against my forehead and kissed my neck and chest with her mouth. At this time, I often feel itchy and unbearable, and my mother will stop when I giggle. Sometimes we do nothing, just listen to each other’s familiar heartbeat quietly, just like the cat and her mother in the corner of the campus. At that time, I always felt that being with my mother was very special. Actually, it’s nothing special to think about it now. We are just the most ordinary babies and mothers, just like Little Chicken Qiuqiu and her mother, Little Duck Gaga and his mother, Little Hedgehog and Lili and his mother; of course, now I still enjoy the moments with my mother very much.
Open the small paper bag is a picture book in the Little Chicken Qiuqiu series. That night, I felt like a treasure. The only regret is that I didn’t know Qiuqiu, a good friend, earlier. To be honest, I have been a "little chicken ball fan" since then and now.
Before Xiaojiqiuqiuqiu series picture books, I had read many picture books. If I had to use numbers to measure them, there were about dozens of them, and these books also accompanied me through a lot of happy time. But the book that really touched me from the bottom of my bones is the Little Chicken Ball series; if new family members are added to my family in the future and I become a veritable young lady, I will definitely take her (him) to read the Little Chicken Ball series first when my sister (brother) starts to be interested in picture books.
That night I was reading "Good night, Xiao Chicken Qiuqiu fell asleep". The first thing I did when I opened my eyes the next morning was to say hello to Qiuqiu. I spent many days in a row, and I almost didn’t feel boring when my mother went to work. As long as I didn’t leave the house, I spent most of my time with Qiuqiu. I bought the 6 books for the first time and read them over and over again. Maybe my mother saw what I like and quickly bought the entire series one after another.
According to adult thinking, there is always a reason to like someone or something. In fact, in the world of babies, like is like, and there are no so many reasons. Since the person who reads this article is an adult, try to explain the reasons in the adult way.

This set of books attracts me first were the beautiful pictures and soft colors. For example: The color of the little chicken ball is goose yellow, soft yellow. When I first saw it, I seemed to feel the soft tender hair on her body; the same is true for Qiuqiu's good friends, Xiaodiaogaga and Xiaodiaogua.The beautiful pictures and colors also give life to every animal and plant. They really exist. Every animal is as easy as the giraffe I saw in the zoo. Every flower, like the blooming flowers in the garden, can smell the fragrance. So, when I saw the butterfly, I couldn't help but want to catch it, play games with me, and when I saw strawberries, I couldn't help but want to pick the biggest one to give to my mother.
Of course, what makes me like the most is the content and theme. Qiuqiu’s experience and feelings are so similar to me that I often treat myself as Qiuqiu when I read. For example, read "Where is Mom?" 》, When Qiuqiu, who was immersed in joy, suddenly realized that her mother was missing, she searched around anxiously. After searching for many places, she still found nothing. Qiuqiu and I left tears together. I have had many similar experiences before. I promised to go out with my mother. After I ran out of the house happily, I found that my father or someone else was accompanying me. At this time, I was often very depressed and had no intention of playing until I found my mother. Later, I made an agreement with my mother and everyone told each other the truth. After knowing where my mother is going, I no longer feel anxious when I can’t see her. The biggest benefit of this set of books is the readers' strong sense of participation. For babies, reading is no longer simply looking at the pictures and listening to texts. More importantly, participating in it and having a very intuitive feeling and experience. For example, in "Help Mom Do Things", Qiuqiu replaces his mother, carrying a gift basket with flowers, and going to Aunt Duck Gaga's house to attend a birthday party. I experienced "hardships and obstacles" along the way. From the beginning, as a reader, I transformed into a role of a ball. Sometimes the pages became a solid body, a bear jumped out and scared me, sometimes sitting on the bear's back and crossing the river together, sometimes the pages turned on, a cuckoo came to the sky, and sometimes the pages could be pulled apart very long, because it was a long hillside where the ball rolled down. In short, I often feel immersed in it and can't extricate myself. I often feel unsatisfied after reading it several times before going to bed, and I also have to bring my parents to perform the scenes together. Of course, I often play the role of Qiuqiu.
also solves the "mysterious" topic raised by babies. For example, "Little Chicken Qiuqiu and Sunflower " in Xiaojiqiu's Life Friendship Series tells the story of Qiuqiu and Sunflower dating. Qiuqiu encountered a sunflower seed on the hillside and wanted to eat her. The sunflower seed turned from a seed into a tall sunflower on the grounds that you could eat more leaves, and also established a deep friendship and interdependence with Qiuqiu. When Qiuqiu felt that one day the sunflower could no longer be separated from the sunflower, the sunflower gradually aged and died, and the sunflower seeds produced by the dead sunflower were buried in the soil, and more sunflowers grew in the next year. During this process, I cheered and excited as the balls and the sunflowers grew more leaves, listened to the sunflowers tell the story of the sun, the moon and the stars, took shelter from the sunflowers' fat leaves, cried and shed tears for the sunflowers' aging, sickness and death, and finally felt relieved to see the sunflowers all over the hillside. In short, I experienced a very complex psychological change process. After this, I no longer struggled with not seeing my grandma. Just as my mother said, although my grandma was always with me in a place I couldn't see, and I love her forever.
I am almost three years old now, but I still love this set of books deeply. Last night, I also played role-playing games with my parents. The script is "Little Chicken Ball and Little Hedgehog" that I have watched countless times. Although I have performed many times, I can't help crying every time I say goodbye to Qiuqiu (I play) and the little hedgehog (My mother plays). I admit that my role is confused. I am not only sad about waving goodbye to the little hedgehog, but more importantly, waving to my mother.
