Rhythmic reading and eye-catching line color paintings are well liked by children

The little woodpecker has just learned a new skill. He is so excited that he repeats it again and again, which is very much like the learning nature of children.

Lucy CousinsAs always, use bold and unrestrained childrens fun thick lines and vivid color proportion.

The color block on the left page covers the rhythmic words with rhythm jumping, which is catchy.

Frequent occurrence of common words, interesting pattern cognition

In picture books, common life words appear frequently. Those who are often ignored by everyone have become small "tragic" characters in the story ——They were pecked with small holes.

For example, the tennis racket in the corner, the old photos hanging on the wall, and even the urinal in the bathroom, the washing machine

Through the "Crazy" pecking of the little woodpecker, he virtually taught the children many words. Rhyming formPerformance, teaching in fun.

Parent child interactive games lead the spiral rise of reading ability

Books pay attention to the interactivity of the story. Where the little woodpecker has pecked, there will be small round holes that have been safely cut. Parents can start from these small holes and freely choose games to interact with their children.

① "Find the hole" game

First, the parents ask questions according to the "list of items" on the left page of the picture book, and then ask the children to carefully observe the wonderful illustration on the right and find the items asked by their parents. For example, parents can ask their children:

- "what bathroom / living room items did the little woodpecker peck?"

- "what are the red / square items that the little woodpecker used?"

② "Dongdong count" game

- "how many peas did the little woodpecker peck?"

- "how many vegetables / fruits did the little woodpecker peck?"

The little woodpecker pecks more and more, and the things he knows will become more and more complex. The childrens enthusiasm for reading will get better with the application of the little woodpeckers "Crazy" skills.

Humorous love encouragement

It was a charming moment to see the little woodpecker Move, dont you Did it attract bursts of laughter? The tone of the story is relaxed and humorous. Between the lines, inside and outside the painting, it is full of deep love.

The valuable thing is, Lucy Cousins Instead of the following a regular family education, rules were imposed on little woodpeckers.

Think carefully: blindly pecking holes and destroying daily necessities should be criticized.

In the story, instead of being angry, the father of the woodpecker praised the diligence and seriousness of the little woodpecker. The picture of father and son together always makes people feel warm.

In reality, after reading the picture books, will adults have new ideas of encouragement when they hear the heartfelt laughter of their babies?
