What is a green picture book? Picture books are like a magical magic book, leading children into the experience of literature, aesthetics, imagination and creativity. Not only children can't put it down, but adults also read it with relish. Classic picture books can stand the test of time. Whether it is visual pictures or short language, they are often deeply rooted in children's hearts and leave a strong impression.
What is a green picture book? According to the Environmental Protection Foundation of the Housewives' Union, this is a picture book with the theme of green concepts and knowledge such as environmental protection, ecological conservation, man and nature. Preschool children can subtly accept the meaning of stories from the activities of "listening to stories", and plant seeds of knowledge such as natural ecology, environmental protection and diet health in their hearts, expecting the right time to sprout and grow sturdily, so as to actively protect themselves, others and the environment in the future.
Pei Shuo, vice chairman of the Environmental Protection Foundation of the Housewives' Union, opens a picture book just like opening a window, allowing children to discover and see the outside world with expectation, excitement and surprise. By listening to stories with their ears and looking at pictures with their eyes, they can arouse their interest in learning and then get in touch with issues such as natural ecology and healthy diet. When children begin to discuss picture book stories with you, they can by going up one flight of stairs, so that parents and children can share, feel and practice the meaning of the stories together in their daily lives.
Lin Zhenmei, a famous expert on children's picture books, even defined green picture books as follows: "Green picture books use literary language, literary methods and beautiful pictures to let children experience the endless" secrets "contained in the natural world and life world through reading, and open their" science and knowledge "with surprises and emotions in the process of entering and leaving this beautiful world. 」
Opening a picture book is like opening a window.
Open your book! What is a green picture book? How to read green picture books? For babies, the use of green picture books is very simple, that is, adults take their children to read and tell them stories, or read them with their parents as the story unfolds.
However, Lin Yupei reminded that when accompanying children to read picture books, they should never interfere with children's reading with exaggerated interpretations (including sounds and expressions), nor should they "forcibly" bring in "didactic language" when reading picture books, but let children naturally, happily, actively and simply immerse themselves in the world of picture books, making reading picture books a meaningful and interesting experience, rather than passively cramming them.
Rachel Carson pointed out in the book "The Heart of Surprise-Rachel Carson's Natural Experience": "It is more important to pave the way for children's thirst for knowledge than to instill in them knowledge that they have not yet absorbed. Reading green picture books with children can help them pave an interesting way to learn.
Therefore, although the green picture book is a good educational medium, Lin Yupei hopes that parents will put down their expectations of the "instrumental", "purposeful" and "task" of the green picture book, such as avoiding "indoctrination" when telling stories, such as reading "A Ping's menu" and you can't eat snacks any more! 」; Grandma was afraid of waste when she was studying. "Grandma doesn't like children to waste, so don't waste it!" " And other statements.
The purpose of developing green picture books is to attract children, so that children can't help but enter the stories in the books and get inspiration and resonance, instead of setting the progress and goals for children, so as not to lose the essence and fun of reading picture books and avoid damaging the parent-child relationship. On the contrary, the time of parent-child reading together can also let parents relive their childhood, open picture books with their children, enter the adventure world, and feel the surprises brought by fun, creativity, artistic conception and even unexpected story turns.
Less utilitarian and more comfortable, parents can pick up a picture book that they like and children will like to read together. However, sometimes parents will choose a great green picture book, but when their children don't like it so much or can't listen to it quietly and intently, they don't have to worry too much, and wonder if they are "ADHD" and "children don't like reading". Maybe there are some things that can attract children's attention at this stage, such as reading picture books to children on the playground. How can we interest children?
Let go of the goal expectation of "tools", "purposes" and "tasks" of green picture books.
Open your book! What is a green picture book? Taking children to practice green picture books is not only to read a story, but also to establish contact with life and environment in the end. Parents should be reminded that reading green picture books is one of the ways to cultivate friendly ecological values and manage parent-child relationship. It is necessary for babies to explore and learn actively. So, after reading the green picture book, how to connect the children's lives?
Lin pointed out that when taking children to appreciate picture books, we should not rush to instill the knowledge or establish values contained in green picture books. For a young child, as long as it is a picture book he likes, he will fondle it, read it repeatedly or ask you to say it again, and then he can finish his study by reading it repeatedly. Parents can let their children wander in the world of green picture books, or accompany and read together with their hearts, and the green seeds will slowly sprout and grow in their hearts. When appropriate, parents can easily practice green picture books with their children in daily life.
A good picture book without written narration can be said to bring the magic of the picture book into full play.
Green food education class loves the germination of Hamburg seeds, which needs soil and water and time. Parents want to extend green picture books into their lives, and they may encourage them too hastily. Lin Yu Pei takes Alan Allen's "Ban Ban loves hamburgers" as an example. The story tells that the little boy Ban Ban hates vegetables and only likes hamburgers. His mother warned him that Banban would become a big hamburger. As a result, one day Banban really became a big hamburger. When the dog saw that it wanted to eat it, the cow mother was angry when she saw it. Lin and her three-year-old daughter read the book several times together, but during the reading together, she never said to the children, "You can't be picky eaters and partial eaters. 」
One day, Lin found her daughter interested in washing dishes in the kitchen, so she suggested, "Shall we make hamburgers?" ? Unexpectedly, the child said, "We don't want to use meat because the cow mother will be angry. Looking around, the mother and daughter decided to replace bread with rice, meat pies with eggs, sweet pines and vegetables, and began to make rice hamburgers. In a safe range, let children participate in rice washing. This process is actually a practical process from green picture books to green food education.
Open your book! What is a green picture book? If a grandmother who is afraid of waste in green consumption directly tells her children environmental protection concepts such as "don't waste", children may not understand it for a while, let alone do it immediately in life, but the green picture book is a good introduction. Take Zhu Zhen Mariko's Grandma Afraid of Waste as an example. Through the interaction between grandma and grandson, the author leads to a series of thoughts on environmental protection in life, such as brushing your teeth with mouthwash, going to bed early, and not wasting electricity. Even after leaving rice grains on the little boy's face, grandma immediately licked it with her tongue, which is full of exaggeration and humor. The whole book has only two owners, grandma and little boy, and uses simple and interesting narrative methods to make this child.
Love the forest bear hug Nicholas? Nicholas Audland's "Big Bear Hug" tells the story of a meek bear who likes hugging most in the forest. His favorite thing is hugging trees. One day, a woodcutter with an axe came to the forest and stared at a magnificent tree. Bell thinks that workers love trees as well. Unexpectedly, he actually picked up an axe and cut it in the tree. This is the first time that a bear is angry enough to want to bite, but biting is not what he likes to do. His favorite thing is hugging, so the bear hugged the workers tightly, but the workers ran away in fear. The story of Hugging the Bear is simple and coherent. It not only contains the concept of caring for the forest, but also allows children to feel friendly love through hugging games. Older children can also feel the power of love and peace.
Cherish water and drink it, Jeremy? Graeme Base's "Come and Drink Water" is also a green picture book with strong visual sense. Even young children can read by themselves. Children will find that with the appearance of one or two different animals, the water hollowing out the pages is getting smaller and smaller, until the water disappears and the animals disappear. They can not only see that the expressions and color expressions of animals are silent with the decrease of water, but also establish water and life. The author who is good at Tibetan painting also plays hide-and-seek with readers of all sizes. Each painting hides ten kinds of animals. In addition, when the reader's mood falls to the bottom because all the animals have gone, a page turns over and a drop of rain falls, and the mood will be driven to another place, with puddles and animals everywhere.
Green picture books suitable for infants and young children are diverse and diversified. The above is just a simple list. Good picture books, regardless of age, will have different feelings in reading. Finally, Lin Yupei said that when adults choose picture books, in addition to hoping that picture books can bring beautiful surprises and inspire children's thinking, the ending of picture books should not be sad and helpless for infants. Besides listening and reading, there are more wonderful things and activities in daily life waiting for children to discover, explore and experience, which is the more important purpose.
