There are few words in picture books, but because there are few words, the requirements for authors are higher: they must be concise and set up ups and downs with short words; Must be funny and lively, in line with children's language habits. Therefore, picture book authors often carefully scrutinize and temper the words. More worth talking about is the picture. Picture books use pictures to tell stories, and bring the painting art that originally belonged to the elegant level and was only appreciated by a few people to the public, especially children. These pictures are carefully hand-painted by illustrators, paying attention to painting techniques and styles, and paying attention to the exquisiteness and details of the pictures. They are an original art. It can be said that every page of a good picture book can be called a beautiful work of art.
What you want to read in a picture book is not only words, but also stories from pictures, so as to appreciate the picture. Teacher Hao Bin, a famous psychologist, said: "If parents can consciously choose some excellent picture books to read with their children, it will not only help their children to build a spiritual world and promote their mental development, but also help to cultivate their good moral quality and behavior habits. Making good use of it can play a foundation role in a person's life. " Of course, picture books can't realize all our expectations for children at once, but high-quality pictures and texts in picture books have an immeasurable and subtle influence on cultivating children's cognitive ability, observation ability, communication ability, imagination, creativity and emotional development.
Experts agree that picture books are the most suitable form for children to read. According to the research of children's psychology, children's ability to recognize graphics has developed slowly since they were very young. At that time, although children could not read, they already had the ability to read pictures. If parents can consciously read picture books with their children at this time, create a warm environment, read words to their children and read pictures and tell stories with their children. From the beginning, children were exposed to high-level pictures and texts. They will taste the art of painting in listening to stories, and they will know words and understand literature in appreciating pictures. Compared with those fast food cultures that pass by and only bring temporary pleasure, appreciating picture books is undoubtedly a wonderful experience for eyes to enjoy, mind to enjoy and spirit to improve.
