Fun school stories
Fun is the driving force behind reading. Interesting books, children naturally do not reject.
The variety of insects on Earth is huge. If you let these insects teach in the same school, they have different shapes, different habits, and different foods, and there will be a lot of interesting stories that will happen.
The protagonists in the book are all insects, from teachers, principals, class leaders, ordinary students, without exception, all insects!
With the school life familiar to the child as the background of the story, the child is not unfamiliar and has a special sense of substitution. Insect classmates with different shapes and distinct personalities, each of which allows children to find archetypes around them.
Take the beetle class as an example:
Tarantula 001, the class leader of the beetle class, has a sense of responsibility and responsibility, and the C position in the heart of the beetle classmates;
Unicorn fairy, a strong man among insects, a top student in the Beetle class, especially appreciated by the teacher;
Bees, cute in appearance, always chattering non-stop, especially popular with students; The shortcomings are also particularly obvious, love impulsive;
Staghorn worm, the "sports specialty" of the beetle class, has good physical fitness, mischievous, loves to do pranks, and is a complete naughty bag;
There are class leaders with a strong sense of responsibility and strong leadership temperament, there are tyrants and scumbags, there are naughty bags and trick-or-treaters, and there are lively and agile, needle-threading activists...
When we were in school, these students were simply the "standard" of every class: a smiling class leader, a hard-working student, a super good staff, a cheerful little sister, and of course, a pistachio for the whole class.
In these insect students full of positive energy, children can learn a wealth of popular science knowledge, and can learn to be indomitable, pursue excellent quality and high emotional intelligence in the world.

Insect education is an important part of children's development
I saw a Chinese mother post on the Internet describing a lesson her daughter was in elementary school in the United States:
A child asked a question in a natural science class: How much can a bug drag?
The teacher uses this question to let the children analyze and research this topic.
The children started a heated discussion. In the end, they roughly formed 3 conjectures:
· Lighter than its own weight;
· About the same weight as itself;
· heavier than its own weight;
The argument was fruitless and the children had to turn to the teacher.
The teacher didn't give an answer, and she told the children to prove their hypothesis through experiments.
In the second lesson, the teacher brought a lot of bugs. The children were divided into small groups, each assigned a bug, and each experimented. They put a cart on the bug, and added "weights" on the cart to observe the bug's reaction.
In the end, it was concluded that the worm could pull something heavier than its own weight. The results of the experiment convinced the children to take it orally.
With the help of insect experiments, let children make bold assumptions and carefully verify. From the formulation of hypotheses to the results, children's logical thinking ability and scientific literacy have been improved.
In fact, not only in foreign countries, but also in many primary and secondary schools in China, "observing the characteristics or habits of insects, writing an XX character essay" or "designing an insect experiment by yourself and completing a XX character scientific report" has become a research topic for children.
A bug fan Xiao Ai who has been following "Cool Bug School" for 5 years left a message saying that once, the homework left by the teacher was: to explore the secrets of an insect and form a report.
Xiao Ai said that the other students were sad when they heard this topic, and only she felt that it was a matter of understanding. Because this kind of scientific knowledge abounds in "School of Cool Bugs"!
She remembers that there was a talk in the book about the "symbiotic relationship between ants and aphids", and she used this part of the content to make a colorful and scientific experiment report, which stood out among the class!

"School of Cool Insects": China's first popular insect science storybook
Xiao Ai's feedback is not unique. Many parents leave messages saying that adults always think: what is there to see about bugs? But children will always read this book repeatedly and with great interest, and when they see an insect outdoors, they can always accurately describe its scientific name and habits.
This is really surprising.
In fact, "Cool Bug School" has won numerous awards since its first book was published, listed as a must-read by countless teachers, and read by children eager to read, for simple and complex reasons:
Interesting: Fun means readability.
No matter how good a book is, it is useless if the child can't read it. The plot of "Cool Bug School" is so interesting that children can't put it down as soon as they pick it up:
↓ "Cool Bug School" clip ↓
"Rub, rub, rub, I love dung and dung, and dung also loves me..." In the study class, Shi Hu Lang hummed a song while dividing the large dung egg he brought in the morning into several small pieces, and then rubbing it into various complex shapes.
For example, squares, triangles, sticks, it seems that after such artistic processing, the taste of manure will become more tempting.
"Please, put away your snacks, okay? My nose can't stand the pungent smell! The dragon lice classmate sitting in front of Shell Lang said, "It would be nice if anyone liked to eat Shell Lang." He said and looked at the tiger beetle.
"Don't expect me, although I've never been a picky eater, I take food hygiene seriously." Hujia hurriedly said.
"Alas! You vulgar guys, you'll never understand what art is! Shi Shell Lang said nonchalantly while putting away the table full of dung biscuits.
Gaga, he stuffed a piece of dung biscuit that had become a little dry and hard into his mouth, and said to the star cow at the same table: "I won't come to class tomorrow, don't ask me why, ask me and won't say, it's a secret." ”
Over the next few days, the air in the classroom of the beetle class was exceptionally fresh, and everyone hoped that there would be no more dung eggs in the classroom from now on.
But happiness is always short-lived, because Shi Shell Lang is already standing in the doorway of the classroom, holding a thick hemp rope in his hand. The hemp rope is long, stretching from the doorway of the classroom to the middle of the corridor.
On the hemp rope were fifteen round dung eggs strung like sugar gourds, and I don't know how he managed to drag them all the way despite all the difficulties.
"Get out of the way, let me in, I'm tired these days." Shi Shell Lang said to the deer antler insect classmate who blocked the door of the classroom.
"You can choose to leave those dung eggs outside, or you stay outside with the dung eggs." The staghorn worm said.
Shell Lang closed his eyes, his brain was overloaded again. "What do you mean?" In the end, he decided to ignore the twisted sentence and choose to go straight to the point.
"I mean, if you dare to drag these smelly things into the classroom, I'll flatten your big head!" The antlers said impatiently.
Shi Shell Lang closed his eyes again: "I don't understand, what do these dung eggs have to do with my head, why don't you have something to say?" If it's a man, don't go around the bush. ”
Knock knock! The unbearable antler insect slammed its head against the wall: "God! Save me! ”......

The form of story + popular science: let children improve their scientific literacy while reading stories
Say goodbye to the dry encyclopedic knowledge book, and integrate the habits and characteristics of insects into the story, which is the author's original initiative.
First of all, the insect knowledge described in the book is interesting, easy to absorb, and accurate.
To this end, the author consulted a large number of insect materials, went to the field to shoot, observed insect habits, and invited several insect experts to review the knowledge points of the book.
The author is also quite careful in the arrangement of plot, content and characters:
For example, when you want to write about a certain horned cicada, you must have a good understanding of it. What is its body structure, what are the characteristics of its mouthparts, antennae, and wings.
What food it eats, what trees it lives on.
Its growth process is not completely metamorphosed, so there is no need for pupation. What are the differences in its habits between the nymph and adult stages, what are its natural enemies, and so on.
Then in the story, the protagonist's living habits and personality should be set with reference to the original habits of insects. Therefore, it often takes a lot of time to find and collect this information, and if you can't find it in the end, you may have to change roles.
The author's intention was to create something different and let children learn about insects and nature.

Convey a positive spiritual core
The world of insects has a survival competition of the jungle, and School of Cool Bugs doesn't shy away from that.
