Chapter 1702: Picture Book Story

Cai Meiwen is eager to protect the calf, and she is very resistant to others intervening in her and Xiao Qincai's life, and even more disgusted that others are educating Xiao Qincai for her. She knew that saying things like keeping pets was bad in the pet store would be tantamount to starting a fight, and she was ready for a fight, but she didn't expect that Zhang Zian just wanted to tell a story.

She doesn't know if the story is fiction or a true story like hers, but if it's just a story, there seems to be no reason to object.

As soon as Xiao Celery heard that she was about to tell a story, her attention was attracted, and she temporarily put aside the death of the stray cat.

The rain tended to ease, and the work pressure of the shop assistants was greatly reduced. They had never heard Zhang Zian tell a story, and they were very curious.

Even the elves listened with great interest, including Shihua in the upstairs bathroom. She often reads fairy tales to netizens in the live broadcast room. Zhang Zian is telling stories under her nose. ?

"Let me first explain that I did not write this story. The original author was a picture book writer from Fusang, and this writer was born in the capital of China. Make some small and innocuous changes to the story." Zhang Zian made a copyright statement first, and he can't just take other people's stories as his own.

Little Celery raised her hand and asked like in class, "What is a picture book?"

It was rare for Lu Yiyun to intervene in front of outsiders. She timidly whispered, "Let me answer. I have someone I know who is drawing picture books for a publishing house. I know a little bit about it..."

Zhang Zian nodded encouragingly to her.

Lu Yiyun raised her voice slightly, "The so-called picture books are actually similar to children's fairy tale books. They are mainly pictures, accompanied by a small amount of easy-to-understand words..."

"So it's a fairy tale book? It has a tall name." Wang Gan interjected.

Lu Yiyun shook her head, "It's similar, but it's not exactly the same. Fairy tales are mainly about telling stories, and it's enough for children to find it interesting and understandable. They don't need to bear additional meaning. "My Daughter", this famous fairy tale has twists and turns and is poignant, but after listening to it, it seems that it has no special educational significance. Maybe adults can feel something from it, but children definitely don't have that kind of understanding, and it's over after listening to it."

Everyone listened thoughtfully, and felt that there was some truth to it. Modern popular fairy tales originated from Europe and the United States. Most of the European and American fairy tales are purely storytelling, and they are all about the little things between the prince and the princess over and over again.

What is the educational significance of a fairy tale like "Snow White"? It means stepmothers are bad people,

Always trying to kill you? This seems unharmonious in modern society. The stepmother and the queen want to kill the princess because the family has a throne to inherit, and most of the people who read fairy tales are children of ordinary people, and at most inherit the flowers...

The divorce rate in modern society is getting higher and higher. People get married and divorce more and more casually. It is normal to remarry with children after divorce. "Snow White" left a deep impression on her. Facing her stepmother or stepfather might reduce her initial favorability by 30%... It's simply a poisonous weed of capitalism.

Of course, everything cannot be generalized, and a small number of fairy tales do have certain educational significance, such as "Pinocchio", at least it teaches children-don't lie, otherwise the nose will grow longer. But the educational significance of this is too weak, and it cannot stand scrutiny or verification, and maybe only three or four-year-old children will believe it.

Compared with the ancient and out-of-the-box fairy tales, books in the form of picture books are new things. Countless picture book authors are innovating every year. The stories in picture books are close to reality, which makes children have a natural sense of substitution. Most importantly, a good picture book story It must have a high degree of educational significance. Whether it is teaching children life knowledge, scientific knowledge, or outlook on life and values, it will not make children feel boring while teaching and entertaining. Even adults will understand it when they read it. Suitable for parent-child reading.

It's a pity that many parents can't tell the difference between fairy tales and picture books. They think that they are children's books anyway, and they can just buy, buy, and throw them for their children to read.

Especially stepfathers and stepmothers who often appear as villains in fairy tales. How many parents will tell their children when they read together that bad stepfathers and stepmothers are just an example. Most stepfathers and stepmothers are as good as their biological parents?

Having a family of origin does not mean that other children are equally lucky, and your own children may laugh at the children of other parents who remarry, scaring them that their stepfathers and stepmothers will abuse them.

Lu Yiyun clarified to everyone the subtle but important difference between fairy tales and picture books, and stopped talking.

"Thank you, Xiaoyun, for explaining clearly." Zhang Zian said.

Cai Meiwen felt a little ashamed when she heard that, she was the same way before, when she bought books for Xiao Celery, she would buy a lot of books in one go when the online mall had full discounts, which must include those world-famous fairy tales, some She doesn't know if there are no picture books, and there should be, but she treats them all as fairy tales.

In her mind, the world's famous fairy tales have been circulated for so many years, and all children read them, so they can't buy them wrong, right?

Most parents have the same idea. Anyway, everyone else buys it, so I follow suit.

She knew that these were all excuses, but in fact it was the parents trying to save trouble.

She really doesn't have time to read fairy tales with Little Celery, but she plans to sort out Little Celery's fairy tale books when she goes back, and eliminate those fairy tale books that are famous but are no longer suitable for modern children.

Now that those present have understood the difference between fairy tales and picture books, Zhang Zian got to the point and said: "Compared to princes and princesses who are far away and divorced from reality, picture book stories often use animals that are common in daily life as protagonists, and animals that are common in daily life They are often pets that accompany people day and night."

As soon as pets were mentioned, Little Celery became even more energetic. She knew that the next story must be a certain pet as the protagonist.

"The name of this picture book story sounds very strange. It is called "The Cat Who Lived a Million Times." Zhang Zian said, "I emphasize again that I can't remember the original text of this story, so I can only review the content. Some innocuous changes, and the original work has more pictures and less words, but due to the limitation of objective conditions, I can only use words and words to describe, little celery, you can try to imagine it in your mind according to my description, if you find it difficult... "

He turned his head to look at the elves, "You can also imagine with reference to their appearance."
