main content: grandma wants to keep a cat, and grandpa goes out to look for a cat. He came to a hill full of cats and took away every beautiful cat he met. So, hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions of cats, tens of millions of cats and hundreds of millions of cats all followed grandpa home. In order to keep a cat, all the cats began to argue about who was the most beautiful. These cats were so angry that you ate me and I ate you. Finally, only one very humble cat survived. Grandpa and grandma finally found out that this cat is the most beautiful cat in the world. In the Power of Picture Books, which he co-authored, Song Juzhi praised wanda gag's ability to control stories: "The greatest feature of One Million Cats is its high degree of completion as a story. Since childhood, wanda gag has listened to the folklore of Bohemia, her parents' hometown, and the stories told by adults. Coupled with her rich experience in telling stories when caring for her younger brothers and sisters, she has long been familiar with the story's endless plot, repetitive rhythm, phonology of language, and the tone of storytelling. "
The parenting gains behind "One Million Cats": The author's brush strokes are like flowing clouds, the picture unfolds slowly, and the plot is exciting. For children, reading 1 million cats is a bizarre, exaggerated but warm story, while for us, it is an implicit philosophy of life. To accompany children to grow up, we have to take it slowly, teach them how to have a normal heart with our normal heart, don't push ourselves and our children into a corner, and recognize ourselves in life, so that we can have a bright future.
I couldn't help sighing at the end, recalling the rhythmic story language in the book and marveling at the unexpected story ending. ? I was amazed at the thought-provoking words of the kitten: "Oh, I'm just an ordinary kitten. When you asked who was the most beautiful, I didn't say anything. Because of this, no cat comes to my trouble. " What a clever kitten is this? The seemingly simple language and low-key attitude, however, express its wisdom of survival in times of crisis, making the ending both unexpected and reasonable. It is its self-knowledge that helps it. And those beautiful and capable cats didn't understand to their death what caused this unfortunate ending.
Its words remind people of the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, Carnegie's survival wisdom, the secret of a happy and happy life of Harvard University ..., and the last page shows that the mentality of young people is different from that of old people, and they pursue more fame and honor when they are young, but when they are old, they will become comfortable and calm, and they will need more companionship and inner comfort.
In terms of pictures, the author's brushwork is simple but vivid with rich expressions, which can capture people's hearts and make people feel the old man's love for cats at a glance.
The story subtly conveys the virtue of being ordinary and restrained to children, without preaching, but with far-reaching implications.
