Lead children to learn collective wisdom from animals
The book introduces the different reasons and social habitation methods of 16 animals, such as herring, flamingos, and wildebeests. Lead children to learn about the animals' living habits and the mysteries of their survival from a new perspective. There are also many new and interesting animal trivia in the book, which can stimulate children's curiosity to explore nature.
In nature, the wisdom of survival is everywhere. Individual power is often insignificant, but the group can exude great energy. Starlings, for example, are easily spotted by predators, but a group of starlings clustered together makes it difficult for predators to target a particular starling, increasing their chances of survival. Similarly, human beings rely on collective intelligence to accomplish many things, such as building a building, creating a complex object, etc., which require the participation of many people to complete. I hope that children can also learn to use the strength of the collective to achieve their goals.
The illustrations use a unique stamp technique
The illustrations in this book are drawn using seals. Each small animal in the group may look the same at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that the expression, movement, or color of each animal is different. The overall color scheme of the illustration is soft, the animal looks very cute, and the stamp technique used in the illustration is a good presentation of the theme of the book. Children can also try to create their own paintings using this method.
