I recommend one of my favorite Chinese picture books: "A Garden of Green Vegetables Become a Spirit".
The magic of this picture book is that the few strokes of the picture show a garden of vegetables, but it makes you feel the joy of chasing and playing in your childhood. The strong sense of immersion in the picture makes you forget your current worries and only remember the laughter in front of you.
Content recommendation: Let’s take a look! The greens and radishes in the garden are all full of life. The green stalks of green onions and green leaves grow straight, like a silver spear; the leaves of leek are long and narrow, like two-edged blades. The split cloves of garlic after ripening, the peppers are all red, the eggplants are purple and plump, and when it is the lotus root's turn, it turns out to be a defeated general who cannot escape. It is confused and hastily got into the mud pit. In the picture The images of all the vegetables are the result of the battle. This unexpected yet convincing absurdity is the highlight of this book.
All the pictures and plots are in line with the naughty nature of children, allowing this group of urchins to square up in a serious manner and fight happily. The catchy nursery rhymes and exaggerated fighting scenes will give children a strong sense of involvement and make them laugh endlessly.
Look at the childlike language in the article, how could children not like it?
