this book has simple words and rich pictures!

Picture: The front cover and the back cover are combined into a whole picture, which is the scene where ants are in full swing to decompose and carry watermelons. The bright black and white, red and green color contrast is in harmony with the lively labor scene. This is the core of the story.

Guidance: You can ask the children what the ants are doing. Whatever the child says will do. Then let's open the books and see what the story is.

Picture: The front butterfly page is a picture of several groups of ants in neat rows, or a repeated picture of an ant running hard.

guidance: why do they or he run so fast?

Picture: A family of four sitting on a picnic blanket eating watermelon appears on the title page. They are also eating in full swing! Ha ha! Contact the cover and you will know that the story has already begun. It's just that the voiceover (text) hasn't appeared yet!

Guidance: You can read the title and look at the picture first. Smart children must know the origin of watermelon.

Wen: On a hot summer afternoon, the ants found a big watermelon.

Picture: Big watermelon with black seeds in red soil! The bottom is cast with a cool black shadow. The family who left far away left a small back. Four ants were stunned by the freshness and size of watermelon, and they couldn't help cheering and clapping their hands!

guidance: ask your child how summer feels. How to heat it? Let the children describe or act out the feeling of getting their favorite food in such a hot and thirsty situation! You can also ask what is black in the picture?

text; It's delicious. Let's move home quickly.

Picture: Four ants climb to the center of the watermelon pulp and begin to eat.

guidance: how will they eat? What will you say? Everyone has his favorite food, so you can perform the most delicious food!

Wen: hmm-hi! Hey yo! Poof-

Figure: Ants have been trying to push watermelons and failed! Two ants pushed with both hands and butted with their buttocks, and failed! Four ants push together! Still failed! They were so tired that they collapsed on the ground!

guidance: the ants must be shouting their songs to push the watermelon. You give them a prison for action! For example: come on, ho-ho-hi! For example, sing "Unity is Strength"! Come as hard as you can!

Wen: Call everyone over quickly.

Picture: The ant in the hat rushes to the side, while the other three ants wait in the same place.

Guidance: Children are likely to guess what ants are going to do without reading words.

Wen: Hey-I found something good on the grass!

picture: the ant kingdom has exploded! Ants pass the good news to all departments. Water resources bureau, labor department, food bureau, mining department, planting room, restaurant, kitchen, treasure department, gym, shoes and hats room, bathroom and other departments are sensational!

guidance: carefully observe the movements and expressions of every department and every ant, and you will find interesting stories! Can you suggest that children try cultivating mushrooms with green leaves and lighting them with a magnifying glass?

Wen: hurry up! Hurry up!

picture: ants rush out of the house with clenched fists! Cast their shadows on the ground. These shadows are in the shape of footprints, just like children's own feet! Is this a sense of substitution? At this time, the children should be the most wanted to run!

Guidance: There is nothing to do. The children are already eager to run for the ants!

Wen: Wow! Well done!

Picture: A group of ants were taken to the edge of watermelon, and they were shocked: the red flesh and green skin of watermelon are so juicy!

guidance: what else do you want to do! Do it!

Wen: hi-yo!

Figure: I clenched my teeth and exerted all my strength, but the watermelon did not move!

guidance: ask your child what to do, and there will be unexpected answers.

Wen: one, two, hi-yo! Oh, why don't you move!

Picture: They put stones on both sides and tried to pry the watermelon with a stick.

guidance: is it ok to pry? Why is the watermelon still motionless? You can do this lever experiment. It is estimated that the experimental result of this pry is to knock over watermelon. It doesn't matter. After all, it is difficult to move watermelons like this.

Wen: So ...

Picture: The ants are handing out shovels, and someone climbs to the top of the watermelon and starts shoveling.

Guidance: "So ..." here can be read long and slowly to guide children to think about what to do.

Text: Use a shovel ...

Picture: An ant in a hat shovels watermelon with a shovel. It must be its idea. Is it a smart hat on its head? Ha ha!

guidance: if it were you, what would you do to move the watermelon?

Wen: hello! Put it down!

picture: the core picture of the story. Ants unite and cooperate, digging, lifting, pushing, hugging, hanging, and doing their best.

guidance: first, guide the children to observe freely or from top to bottom and from left to right to see what the ants are looking at and think about what the ants are saying. You can make a sentence with "Yes … Yes …". There is an ant singing in the lower right corner. What can he sing? Let's work together in its singing!

Wen: everybody-move and move!

Picture: Nearby, the long hauling team is bright red, which is so festive! The contrast between the red flesh and the black shadow is full. Watermelon in the distance is small, haha, and indeed unity is great.

Guidance: Compared with the size, watermelons are no longer so tall.

Wen: There are too many. I can't put them down any more!

picture: the picture is bright red! Under the rolling, pushing, stuffing, carrying, hugging and squeezing of ants, the ant kingdom is full of watermelons, except the treasure house!

guidance: the story expression here is exaggerated wonder? Let the children describe what they see happening in various departments and roads, and what the ants say.

Wen: ok! Let's eat the rest!

Picture: There are no ants carrying red melon pulp in the picture. From a distance, a group of ants stood on the horizon. The watermelon was surrounded by small ants, and it was no longer so tall. Ants also seem to have stopped working!

guidance: what are they doing? Why not move! What will they do?

Picture: Some ants throw watermelons at their companions on the ground, and many ants are so full that they can't move on the ground.

guidance: just touch the baby's stomach!

Wen: Then, move this thing back and make it ...

Picture: The shadow of watermelon bends into a crescent moon at sunset. A group of ants lifted watermelons, other ants carried labor tools, and everyone lined up neatly and walked home easily.

guidance: what does this watermelon skin look like? What do they want to carry home for?

Text: Watermelon Slide of Ants

Picture: Ants put watermelons on the mat while they are close to the water. They use watermelon skin as a slide and diving platform! You see, some * * * use the same leaf to slide, some directly queue up to slip down from the top, some directly jump into the water, some swim in the water with swimming rings, some use leaves as boats, and use shovels to make pulp ...

Guidance: Look, it's getting yellow and dizzy! Ask the children what they often do in summer evenings. Their experiences with ants will make it more interesting for him to read the story.

Picture: On the back of the butterfly page, the ant in the hat comes running again.

guidance: what will it tell the ants? Can you say what you imagine and draw a picture?
