The recent increase in news about marine litter has also made us realize how much the garbage we make affects marine life. On August 26, a 200-kilogram large sea turtle accidentally ate 6 kilograms of marine garbage, and died of ineffective rescue. Experts speculate that it was because the plastic bag was treated as a jellyfish, and it was eaten into the stomach, but because it could not be digested, it was eventually propped to death.
Children have a natural affinity for animals, and if they are allowed to see it, it will really make them sad for a long time.
In a fun way, this book tells children how animals fight marine litter. The whole book is not very large, but the content is thought-provoking.
The author of the book is Andrea Tsurumi, a writer, illustrator, and manga artist. She was awarded the Silver Medal for American Illustrators and was included in the list of the most beautiful American comic book celebrities. She loves the animals of the ocean and is a cake master, and this book is inspired by her life.
The animals on the bottom of the sea are originally living comfortably, clownfish are playing hide-and-seek, dolphins are blowing bubbles, parrotfish are pooping, pufferfish have swollen themselves into a big ball...
The little crab was busy baking the cake. Look at its busy appearance, one hand holding a large shell, which is full of cakes; the other hand is still holding cakes on the beach, and looking at its side, there is a long string of cakes.
The children were immediately amused by the crab and could count the ingredients of the cake, some coral, some shells, some seaweed. These cakes must be delicious, because many small animals are competing to eat the cake
Suddenly, one day, the ocean was pitch black, and it turned out to be a big ship that dumped a lot of garbage into the sea.
The contrast between the two pages is particularly strong, and the marine animals are particularly happy at first, and the whole picture is bright colors, blue seawater, animals of various colors. When the marine garbage came in, the whole picture turned black, and the marine animals were stunned.
The clownfish had a sad look, the little turtle's eyes were straight, and the lionfish hid behind the shell.
However, the little crab was still baking the cake. It must be the calm temperament of the little crab that inspires everyone, and everyone will think of taking action.
Each of the critters contributed, the dolphins carried two garbage tires with their tails and mouths, and the manta rays acted as porters, transporting the garbage one by one. Where do they throw their garbage? In fact, it's all back to mankind!
The whole book is a happy atmosphere, in line with the children's cognitive development law, the transformation of the two shades, deepening the children's impression of the harm of marine garbage, in the subtle can let children understand the harm of marine garbage.
Moreover, this is a popular science book of marine animals, which introduces many marine animals, and each animal is accurately depicted. This should benefit from the approval and recommendation of the Science Popularization Lecturer Group of the Old Science and Technology Association of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This "Underwater Cake Maker" allows children to see marine life, understand that there is tenacious life under the ocean, and sow a seed for children to protect the ocean. Cultivate children's awareness of life protection, and return nature with a heart of respect, awe, and kindness.
Protect the environment, start with me, love the environment, start small. This is not an empty phrase, but an action word that children can accept from an early age.
