Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
"You can open these books by yourself and see what you like. Dad buys it for you." Yang Yi said with a smile. He was also worried about his daughter being bored and didn't know what to do at the bookstore.
It ’s a lot of fun to find a book in the bookstore!
Xi Xi nodded her head, she turned her head and focused her attention on the bookshelf. The little man's book seemed to attract the little girl's attention like the previous wonderful patterns.
However, Yang Yi saw Xi Xi look at the left and right, and finally reached out to the album of the large format, but the small format and thicker villains were ignored by the little girl.
Perhaps because the color of the large format is more vivid, and the patterns also look richer, right?
I saw that the little girl grasped a large-format picture book with two hands tightly, just like holding a bowl. The book was as big as her face, resting on the edge of the bookshelf, and still worried about falling.
At first, she was at a loss. But when she glanced at the little brother next to her, the little girl flipped openly, but she wore gloves and her fingers were awkward and turned directly into the middle of the album.
Yang Yi squatted down, helped Xi Xi get the book well, and then said in amusement: "Come, Dad helped you take off your gloves. How do you read books with gloves?"
"But, but I'm afraid of the cold." Xi Xi reached out two small hands, but he still said anxiously to his father.
"No fear, it's not cold here." Yang Yi took off Xixi's two small gloves, and then held her two small hands in her palm. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Look, it's not cold now." Is that right? "
"Oh!" The little girl opened her eyebrows suddenly and giggled.
Let her read the book by herself, and Yang Yi flipped through the books of these villains.
However, after a while, Yang Yi also discovered some problems. Most of these villains are comic books, although the number of words is small, and a few pictures constitute a small story, but its plot is not suitable for Xi Xi to read.
For example, this comic book describing campus jokes.
A child said to him at the same table: "How do you eat French fries again?" (Note 1)
The second picture says: "The person I hate most is the foreigner!"
In the third picture, he asked him silently at the same table: "Are you sorry to tell me, what is the box on your table?" (In the comics, a large box is also placed on the protagonist's table , Exactly like the box of french fries at his table.)
As a result, in the fourth picture, the protagonist smiled cheaply: "Who said, this is obviously a fritter."
In the comic, the opened box is filled with fritters stacked like french fries.
It ’s not that it ’s not pretty, but the problem is that Yang Yi could n’t help but smile lightly, which was very interesting.
The stories or jokes told by these villains are obviously not just for children. They can also be read by adults.
Of course, looking at this story alone, Yang Yi does n’t mind letting Xi Xi look at it. But looking at other stories, Yang Yi saw that the author used some feces and laughter, some topics of love between boys and girls, and even used jokes like ***, lipstick, hood, etc. .
To make a comparison, these villain books are just like "Crayon Shin-chan", which is more like a comic for adults to read-although the later "Crayon Shin-chan" has lost a lot of gender content, but the content Still more adult.
So this can be called a children ’s comic? Obviously not suitable for children like Xixi who have not started school! Yang Yi doesn't want Xixi to be exposed to these adult ways of thinking at such a young age.
Yang Yi feels that the problem is very serious. This kind of comic is not a special case. This villain located in the children books area is similar to most of the comics.
Yang Yi remembered a column in the newspaper by Yu Jun, a director of the Guangdong Writers Association, which Fu Jun showed himself. Although Fu Jun showed it to herself because Yu Qian recommended her first «Xixi's Bedtime Stories» to sell her book out of stock in Guangdong Province, Yang Yi still remembers Yu Qian ’s comments on children ’s literature in that article. Now that Chinese children's literature has entered a misunderstanding, many writers of children's literature are conceived with adult thinking, and the stories written are not suitable for children to read!
Yu Qian is also a mother. As a writer, she has always encouraged her children to read, but in her eyes, only «Xixi's Bedtime Stories» written by Yang Yi is really a book suitable for children to read, not only the story is full of imagination , And will not deliberately use gorgeous words.
Yang Yi now brought Xixi out to buy books, and finally realized Yu Qian's feelings.
After looking around, Yang Yi found only a few children's books that were still okay.
A book called "Small Fish Adventure", which describes a small sea fish. After birth, it began its adventure in the sea. There is no particularly thrilling plot. Instead, it is a bit like a popular science book, so that children can In Zhang Zhang's beautiful illustrations, know the ocean world.
There is also a story called "Pug Clown", which is a bit like the ugly duckling. The pug clown is rejected by other pets at home-the ghost knows how this family has so many pets, indifferent cats, fierce dogs, proud cockatoos A naughty squirrel, a greedy pig, and an old talking lizard. However, unlike the ugly duckling, the pug clown has not become beautiful. It actively faces dogs and bravely faces challenges. In a small story, it has won the friendship of other pets in the family.
Wait ...
There are a total of four books. These fairy tale books can still be read, and they are all in large format, full-color pictures. It is a little more expensive, but Yang Yi gave it to Xi Xi, and the little girl liked it very much.
But the problem is that in the children books villain bookcase with hundreds of books, Yang Yi found that less than four books are suitable for Xi Xi to read.
No, I finally bought five copies.
Because Xi Xi bravely explored by herself and found her favorite book.
"I want this!" The little girl was holding a book in the size of twenty, looking at her father hopefully, just like she usually saw a good-looking puppet doll, she could not move her feet and wanted her father to give She bought it back the same.
Yang Yi looked at it. This is not a storybook, but a lot of cartoon illustrations that introduce the popular science children books of animals and plants in the forest.
"Do you like this?" Yang Yi asked with some surprise.
"There are bunnies and mushrooms on it!" Xi Xi nodded and said to his father seriously.
Originally, she also looked at the pictures of "Cables". For Xi Xi, she couldn't understand the stories described in the texts in those books. On the contrary, the more beautiful and colorful the pictures inside, she The more I like it.
Of course, the popular science book Yang Yi is still willing to buy Xixi.
Xi Xi was very happy along the way. She sang a dad ’s nursery rhyme for the kindergarten, and talked to her dad excitedly, just like going to the bookstore, just like buying a bunch of dolls , Very fun!
However, Yang Yi is not as happy as Xi Xi. From this shopping, he deeply realized the seriousness of the problem children books described by Yu Qian.
Although he has no worries about worrying about the country and the people, he should also consider that his daughter has finished reading these books, and what do you read later?
Even if Xixi grows up, there are other books to read, what about her and Murphy ’s second child?
Yang Yi has to face these problems unavoidably.
Of course, Yang Yi can write it himself, but how many books can he write for children?
Yang Yi has been hollowed out by Xi Xi. He has n’t seen many children ’s stories in his previous life. Most of them are based on the settings of some fairy tales he has learned. If he continues to talk about it, what he writes will be the same as those of the villains, with many adult thinking patterns.
Besides, the efforts he can make by himself alone are limited.
What should Yang Yi do?
