When I read this book, I really feel that the protagonist is sad, because she is different, so I have to be bullied and ridiculed by other children.

Humanistic history

13.7 billion years of history are displayed in a 2.4-meter wall book
It's a wall book that shows everything that happened on Earth in 13.7 billion years on a 2.4-meter-long time map. It includes the history of the universe, natural history, history of science and technology, history of agriculture, political history, economic history, religious history, calendar history, music history, war history, literary history, medical history, architectural history and so on.
@lmsisu: By chance, I received this "General History of the Earth". It is a history book, and it is an encyclopedia, but it is not an ordinary encyclopedia or a history book. What I like the most is that it has a 2.4-meter-long time map, and what happened on Earth between 14 billion years ago and 2015 is condensed in this giant picture. In the axis of time, the horizontal can see the diachronic development of different fields such as sky, land, sea, America, Africa, Asia, etc., and vertically can see the specific embodiment of the same historical period in different fields. This design breaks the boundaries of the discipline, and children can better establish a global thinking and form their own historical system. When reading this book, each child can cut from the place of their own interest, forward to backward and down, and can expand to read, thus forming their own historical system. My children went to South America last year, so the first time they read this book, they first went to the Pyramid of Kukulcan and Cancun, and then dispersed.

@zl074: The 92-year-old Huang Yongyu is the post-90s I have always admired and liked, straightforward and natural, childlike, so a look is his old man's book, without saying a word, take it! And this book did not disappoint me, the child after getting the hand liked the simple and concise style of painting, page after page, keep dripping short sentences: "Little mouse: I am ugly, but my mother likes" "Kangaroo: according to my lesson, children must have a career, can not be raised in the pocket" "Parrot: I learn the voice of people, but I don't know what it means"... Reading the heart, the child can't help but laugh. Although the second half of the text needs to be explained, she is still very interested. The book is divided into three volumes, suitable for children of different stages and comprehension ability, the words are short, meaningful, and in line with the poetry of the dream of the Red Chamber: reading in the mouth is like an olive weighing thousands of pounds.

@Susan Baoma: This philosophical enlightenment book was a bit unexpected, after telling Ah Bao Ge once, the second parent-child reading, he took the initiative to take out the book. Philosophy sounds profound, but the book is easy to understand, with many short stories that are closely related to life and humorous illustrations. Many of the problems in this book are encountered and confused by Brother Abao in life, such as right and wrong, what is happiness, how myths arise, why children can't decide many things by themselves... Therefore, Brother Abao seriously discussed with his mother while reading, and it took only one week to complete the reading of the book.
