610 Xixi's Fun Flip Flip Books By Herself (3/4)

Chapter 610 Xixi's Fun Flip Books (34)

"You can open these books yourself and see what you like. Dad will buy them for you." Yang Yi said with a smile, he was also worried that his daughter was bored and didn't know what to do in the bookstore.

Looking for books to read in the bookstore is also a lot of fun!

Xixi nodded ignorantly, she turned her head and focused her attention on the bookshelf, the little books seemed to attract the attention of the little girl just like those wonderful patterns before.

However, Yang Yi saw Xixi look left and right, and finally stretched out his hand to the large-format picture album. Those small-format and thicker small books were ignored by the little girl.

Maybe it's because the large format is more colorful and the patterns look richer?

I saw that the little girl was holding a large-format picture book tightly with both hands like she was holding a bowl. The book was the size of her face, resting on the edge of the bookshelf, and she was a little worried that it would fall.

At first, she was at a loss. But after glancing at the little brother next to her, the little girl opened it in a dignified manner. However, she was wearing gloves and her fingers were a little clumsy, and she opened it directly to the middle of the album.

Yang Yi squatted down, helped Xixi hold the book first, and then said funny: "Come on, Dad, take off the gloves for you, how do you read books with gloves on?"

"But, but I'm afraid of the cold." Xixi stretched out two small hands, but still said to her father worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, it's not cold here." Yang Yi took off Xixi's two small gloves, then held her two small hands in his palms, breathed a warm breath, and said with a smile, "Look, it's not cold now, right? "

"Oops!" The little girl suddenly opened her eyebrows and giggled.

Let her read the book by herself, and Yang Yi also flipped through these villain books.

However, after a while, Yang Yi also discovered some problems. Most of these villains are comic books. Although the number of words is small, and a few pictures constitute a small story, its plot is not very suitable for Xixi to read.

Like this comic book about school jokes.

A child said to his tablemate, "Why are you eating French fries again?" (Note 1)

The second picture says: "What I hate most is people who worship foreigners!"

And in the third picture, he asked him silently at the same table: "How dare you tell me, what is that box on your table?" (In the comics, there is also a large box on the protagonist's table. The box of fries at the same table is exactly the same.)

As a result, in the fourth picture, the protagonist smiled cheaply: "Who said that, this is obviously fried dough sticks."

In the comics, inside the opened box is a strip of fritters stacked on top of each other like French fries.

It's not that it doesn't look good, but the problem is that Yang Yi couldn't help but smile when he looked at it, thinking it was very interesting.

The stories or jokes told in these little people's books are obviously not only for children to read, but adults can also read them.

Of course, just looking at this story, Yang Yi doesn't mind letting Xixi watch it. But looking at other stories, Yang Yi saw that the author used some jokes of shit and urine, used some topics of love between boys and girls, and even used jokes such as thongs, lipsticks, and masks.

To make a comparison, these villains are just like "Crayon Shin-chan", and they are positioned more like comics read by adults-although later "Crayon Shin-chan" has a lot less gender-related content, but the content is still more adult change.

So this can be called a children's cartoon? Obviously not suitable for children like Xixi who haven't started school yet! Yang Yi didn't want Xixi to be exposed to these adult ways of thinking at such a young age.

What made Yang Yi think that the problem was serious is that this kind of comics is not a special case. Most of the comics in this small book counter in the children's book area are similar to it.

Yang Yi remembered a column in the newspaper by a director of the Guangdong Writers Association named Yu Qian that Fu Jun had shown him. Although Fu Jun showed it to himself, it was because Yu Qian recommended his first "Xixi's Bedtime Story", so that his book sold out in Guangdong Province, but Yang Yi still remembered Yu Qian's opinion in that article. Commenting on children's literature works, she said that China's children's literature has entered a misunderstanding. Many writers who write children's literature use adult thinking to conceive, and the stories they write are not suitable for children to read!

Yu Qian is also a mother. As a writer, she has always encouraged her children to read, but in her eyes, only "Xixi's Bedtime Story" written by Yang Yi is really a book suitable for children to read, not only stories. It is full of imagination, and the words and sentences are not deliberately flashy.

Yang Yi is now taking Xixi out to buy books, and finally realizes Yu Qian's feelings.

After looking around, Yang Yi found only a few decent children's books.

One is called "The Adventures of Little Fish", which describes a small sea fish. After birth, it begins its adventures in the sea. It is not particularly thrilling. Instead, it is a bit like a popular science book. illustration, get to know the sea world.

There is also a book called "Pug Clown", which is a bit like the story of the ugly duckling. The pug clown is disliked by other pets in the family - the ghost knows how there are so many pets in this family, indifferent cats, fierce dogs, arrogant parrots, naughty squirrels , a gluttonous pig, and an old talking lizard. However, unlike the ugly duckling, the pug clown has not become beautiful. He is very active in the face of dog life, bravely faced challenges, and gained the friendship of other pets in the family in the little stories.

and many more……

There are four books in total. These fairy tale books can still be read, and they are all large-format, full-color books, which are a little more expensive, but Yang Yi gave them to Xixi, and the little girl liked them very much.

But the problem is, there are hundreds of books in the bookcase of children's books and villains, and Yang Yi found less than four books suitable for Xixi to read.

No, I ended up buying five.

Because Xixi bravely explores by herself and finds a book she likes.

"I still want this!" The little girl was holding a 20-size book and looking at her father with hope, just like she usually sees a good-looking doll, she can't move, and wants her father to buy it for her. Same.

Yang Yi took a look and found that this is not a story book, but a popular science children's book with many cartoon illustrations introducing the animals and plants in the forest.

"Do you like this?" Yang Yi asked in surprise.

"There are little rabbits and little mushrooms on it!" Xixi nodded, but said to her father seriously.

It turned out that she also "requested books" by looking at the pictures. For Xixi, she couldn't understand the stories described in words in those books. On the contrary, the more beautiful and colorful the pictures in them, the more she liked them. .

Of course, Yang Yi is still willing to buy books about popular science for Xixi.

On the way home from the purchase, Xixi was very happy. She sang the nursery rhyme she learned in kindergarten to her father, and excitedly talked to her father. It was as if she went out to the bookstore and bought a bunch of dolls. It was very fun. !

However, Yang Yi is not as happy as Xixi. From this shopping, he deeply realizes the seriousness of the problem about children's books described by Yu Qian.

Although he does not have the leisure to worry about the country and the people, he also has to consider what his daughter will read after reading these books?

Even if Xixi grows up, there are other books to read, then what about her and Murphy's second child?

These problems are unavoidable for Yang Yi to face.

Of course, Yang Yi can write by himself, but how many books can he write that are suitable for children?

Yang Yi has almost been hollowed out by Xixi for inspiration. He has not seen many children's stories in his previous life, and most of them are stories he made up according to the settings of some fairy tales he knew. If he continues to talk nonsense, what he writes will, like those villain books, carry the thinking patterns of many adults.

Besides, there is a limit to what he can achieve just by relying on his own efforts.

What should Yang Yi do?

Note 1: This joke comes from the comic book "Laughter School" that exists in reality. The protagonist is a nerd who likes to wear thongs and has a runny nose. Hmm... it's still pretty cool.
