Douban score: 8.2
Content introduction:
I believe that children are no strangers to jiaozi and Tangyuan. They have many differences, such as:
One skin is slippery and the other is sticky; One is dressed thinly, the other is wrapped thickly; A hairband, a big bald; One likes meat and vegetables, and the other likes sweets ...
Although they are different in many ways, they have one thing in common. Can children guess?
Recommended reason:
Jiaozi and Tangyuan are based on the taste memory of our China people, and one south and one north represent the differences in eating habits between the north and the south, which is very representative of the region.
In "eating books", two kinds of ordinary foods are transformed into cute little characters. Like cross talk, you introduce yourself in all directions. The content of the story is very easy to understand, especially suitable for children to read.
Although jiaozi and Tangyuan have their own shapes and tastes, their appearances are often related to reunion. They have no colorful appearance, but they are full of the simple taste of home.
