The Halloween just passed, the kindergarten children have all kinds of strange costume images: some are faceless men who are cute, some are happy ghosts, and some are George holding green dinosaurs...
Children especially like dress-up games. They may have wild ideas in their minds every day, from flying in the sky to swimming in the water, each of which is inexplicably attractive to them.
-6 years old is a critical period for children to establish themselves . The reason why children at this stage particularly like dress-up games is mainly because they have just learned to understand each other's thoughts, wishes, feelings, etc. from the perspective of others. Different outfits will allow them to experience the characteristics of different roles, how to deal with them, etc.
"Today, I want to become..." lets us understand their inner world from the perspective of children. This is a picture book suitable for children aged 3-6. They will imagine turning into various animals and making themselves stronger and more cute.
Let’s take a look together~
They want to become cute animals
Every child desires to become stronger. When they are 3-6 years old, they want to become omnipotent animals.
Seeing the tall and large banana tree, they will imagine that they can become a little monkey, so that they can quickly climb on the tree to pick bananas.
Some children may be bullied by their brothers often, so imagine that they become a big grizzly bear, so that they can beat their brothers to their noses and faces.
The picture is particularly funny. The front is the arrogant expressions of the two brothers, and the latter becomes two cowardly brothers, who are scared by the grizzly bear he imagined.
This should be a problem that many children will encounter. When facing children older than themselves, they may be bullied, and imagine how they will defeat them in their minds.
These imaginations happen at any time and anywhere in children's lives. Sometimes when I see my mother combing her hair, I may imagine that she has become a hedgehog.
The most unique thing is that you are
Children often imagine this way and may have forgotten themselves.
It will be very arrogant to become a big whale. If you become a little bee, you can collect a lot of nectar, shuttle through the beautiful flowers, and turn into a grizzly bear to scare all the brothers.
In fact, the most special thing is yourself, you are unique.
is designed in the book. After becoming 9 animals, the most special thing is yourself!
This is a way to understand the "self". Although children can imagine themselves becoming strong or arrogant, they also have various shining points.
You may be particularly good at singing, may like to read, and may be the best at telling stories...
The design of this small mirror allows children to transfer from imagination to themselves and guide them to know themselves better.
The picture is fresh, the language is catchy
The style of this book "Today, I want to become..." is very fresh, and every page is beautiful.
Look at this little boy holding his cheek. The whole room is in warm colors. The bed is warm yellow, the quilt is yellow with small red dots, the hair is yellow, and the pajamas are red. The whole picture is matched very warmly. Simple but not boring, warm and full of vitality.
This is due to the painter Mark Butafang, a famous French illustrator. He has created illustrations for many large publishing institutions and famous magazines and is considered one of the leading figures in the children's book illustration industry. All the text in the book
is particularly vivid and interesting to read and catchy.
If I were a monarch butterfly, flying high and falling, I would be the protagonist in the sky.
If I am a rabbit, find a green lawn full of sunshine, run and jump, count me the lightest.
The author is American children's book writer Laura Lek, who has published many children's books and his work has won the Ben-Yitzhak Award at the Israeli Palace Children's Book Award.
I would also like to thank the translator Zhenzhen, a writer and poet. In 2011, he was named "Top Ten Poets born in the 1990s" in "Chinese Poetry".
The fresh picture and catchy text subtly affect the child's aesthetic ability.
"Today, I want to become..." Starting from the imagination of children, based on the children themselves, letting them embark on a magical dream.
