Hello, everyone. I'm Tingma.
The temperature has dropped a lot in the past few days, and I feel like it's winter overnight, so I'm ready to take out my sweater and add clothes to Tingting.
Do you want to wear clothes for animals? What happens if the animals are dressed?
Let's try to imagine: if a porcupine were dressed, the clothes would be pierced; if the rat were dressed, it would be equivalent to fastening the mouse under a hat full of flowers and fruits; if a giraffe was dressed in a suit, it would be tied to its long neck with 6 ties; if the elk was given suspender pants, its feet would hook the strap of the suspender pants, which would be strange; a snake would not be able to wear pants; a sheep would eat its clothes for lunch; a walrus would always be wet when it was dressed... Are these pictures particularly funny? These pictures are exactly the pictures in "Animals Should Never Wear Clothes".
Animals Should Never Wear Clothes is a lovely picture book that has been a popular bestseller in the United States for more than three decades.
The author and painter of "Animals Should Never Wear Clothes" are a couple, the author Judy. Barrett writes books for the children while giving them art lessons. Her husband Ron. Barrett works as an art director at an advertising agency in New York, and in his spare time he works for his wife, Judy. Barrett's work is painted. This is the second book they have collaborated on.
On the cover of the picture book "Animals Should Never Wear Clothes", the author wrote "Absolutely should not" in several deliberately enlarged and red characters, such a striking word, which is to warn us and let us pay attention; at the same time, it also makes people suddenly curious: "Why does the author say that it should never be?" ”
In the following content, the author answers this question in a graphic and textual form.
The design of the picture book is very clever, the left page is text, saying what the consequences will be if the animals are dressed, while the right page uses realistic pictures to draw the funny appearance of the animals wearing clothes.
When the animals are dressed, does it feel ridiculous and ridiculous?
Many picture books will cartoonize the animal image, but this picture book does not.
If we continue to read the picture book, we will find that there are many kinds of animals mentioned in this book, and the image of each animal is very realistic, so we can also use this picture book as an animal cognition book to let children know these animals. Relatively small children, you can also invite children to count, how many kinds of animals are mentioned in the picture book, so that children have a preliminary understanding of numbers.
When we accompany children to read picture books, we can expand by the way, explain to children the natural forms of these animals, living habits and other natural science knowledge, at this time the picture book has become a good popular science book, in addition to allowing children to deepen their understanding of the content of the story, but also to expand the amount of knowledge.
The text pages in the picture book use different warm colors as the background, which makes the picture richer and increases the children's reading pleasure. If it is a relatively small child, we can also let the child recognize these colors together.
"Animals Should Never Wear Clothes", on the surface, is a funny story, but in fact it contains profound truths, telling us that animals are originally fur, and giving them clothes is superfluous and violates the laws of nature.
Of course, after reading this picture book, we can also continue to play games with children that animals should not wear clothes, for example: mothers say which animals should never wear clothes, let the children say why they can't wear, maybe, children have a lot of unexpected ideas!
So, start reading with your kids, more wonderful and hilarious discoveries await you!
