Scientific age-based design
A favorite for young babies
Every time he picks a book, Xiaoshu will always receive various questions from his parents: The baby is still young, is it necessary to start reading together before the age of 2? What if the baby can't read and doesn't like to read? What kind of book is suitable for him to read?
Books for young children must meet the level of physical and mental development at the age of the month. If the baby doesn't like to read the books you buy, it may be that the content is too difficult.
For parents, when reading a picture book for a baby, if the amount of text is too much, it needs to be deleted; if the amount of text is too small or too abstract, they do not know how to tell the child. The amount of text, difficulty, and image of this set of books are just right, and if you read it unchanged and read according to the text, you can interact with the baby.
Who is it? Whoops!
What the? I don't understand, who are you?
Wang, Wang, Wang, I'm a puppy!
Boom boom, cross the bridge, puppy puppy come fast...
Parent-child reading before the age of 2, do not have to impose too much function or meaning, you can choose some picture books with "playfulness" and "interactivity", stimulate the baby's audiovisual touch multiple senses, so that the baby can be interested and can play, which is the most important.
The "Gone and Gone" series of picture books, according to the cognitive level of 0-2-year-old babies, scientific arrangement, vivid language, fun games, tricks are hit on the interests of young babies. The new version is also made into a rounded cardboard book suitable for small children to read on their own. A set of books consists of 4 volumes:
Every book is a game of dialogue
0- to 2-year-old babies are in the enlightenment period of interest in fresh language, they will be particularly interested in words such as "kitten", "smiling and squinting", "gone and gone", and actively imitate and absorb.
By turning the page and creating changes in repetition, it is suitable for babies who are born with a love of games and surprises. The game is simple and scientifically choreographed, and the little one can also participate in it, and naturally wave his little hand during the listening process.
Take "Who Are You" as an example, you can take a small ball or other toy, knock on the table, make a "bang bang, cross the bridge" action, and take turns asking questions with the baby, asking questions and answering the story one by one.
This set of books can also be a good way to attract babies to participate, express their ideas, and bring unexpected surprises to parents and mothers. The author once read the book to a child when he heard a child say, "Whoa," he said, "Whoops—whoops—floats by." So I thought, maybe he's talking about a monster! But in fact, the child is talking about water vapor.
We can also try to read with the child while doing the movements to see what surprise fairy tales they will say.

In the blink of an eye, the baby will smile at you, learn to roll over on his own, crawl on the mat, sit up on his own for the first time... The baby grows up day by day under the eyes of his mother. These fleeting moments, every moment is not to be missed.
Some readers said:
"I open the picture book and say to the baby, 'Gone, gone,' and the baby laughs. As you turn the page and say 'gone and gone' repeatedly, your baby will laugh over and over again. The baby smiled, and I laughed along, it was the happiest time of the day. ”
Even the youngest knows their mother's voice and heartbeat. When reading the picture book, the baby snuggled tightly next to the mother, felt the mother's warm body temperature, listened to the mother's gentle voice, and the love and attachment deepened.
"Before I was 2 years old, I used this set of picture books to play peek-a-boo games, driving games, and expression exercises with my baby, leaving a very unforgettable memory.
