This week my daughter will hold her kindergarten graduation ceremony, and the children in elementary school will also have a holiday. When children say goodbye to school, the most common question they ask is, "Where are you going to play during the summer vacation?" Parents are also thinking, "Where should I take my children?" No matter where you go, don't forget to study. In conjunction with the summer vacation, I plan to recommend some picture books that I read based on different events. Perhaps this allows parents like us who cannot take vacation temporarily to take our children to achieve "the body is not moving, the heart is far away".

Here I recommend a few closely related books, and also recommend extended reading to the entire series. But after all, reading picture books is not enough, it just broadens your mind.

Australian writer Roland Harvey's "Beach Holiday" with text and pictures is a picture book that my daughter has read over and over again. Suitable for children aged 4-10 years old.

I remember that I borrowed it for more than a month last summer. As soon as this summer came, I said to me, "Mom, please help me borrow "Beach Holiday."" In order to meet her needs, I directly online this time Bought this book. This book is especially suitable for parent-child reading, especially for searching and discovery. The banners on the front and back covers are scenes from Cape Crab, with people fishing, painting, surfing, paragliding, etc. The scenes on the beach are realistically presented in detail. The second and third covers are Harvey's 1957 map of Cape Crab. My daughter and I often use it to play hunting games and find "second-hand markets." The content inside is in the form of postcards, written by the grandchildren on their trip to Cancer Point to their grandma at home. They recreate the scenes of everyday play in detail. For example, on the first day we set out for Cancer Point, we encountered a monster, twelve ducks, two giant crabs, etc., such as a bird dropping a puddle of feces on a child's hand on the beach, or a shark chasing after him. He ran with McIntosh, but was scared away by the smell of Mr. McIntosh's underwear in the end; for example, we played a sand sculpture competition on the beach and built a pile of mermaid sand sculptures, for example, we played "bomb diving" at the surf beach, and For example, on our last night at Cape Cancer, we held a bonfire party, saw dolphins, the Southern Cross, and flying saucers. If you pay attention to all these details, you can find the corresponding answers on every page. This is how events really happened and existed objectively.

In addition, Roland Harvey also carefully laid another foreshadowing, which is his self-portrait on the title page. Harvey was riding his bicycle to go to the beach. He carefully prepared a backpack, including towels, cameras, slippers, picture clips, glasses, hats, etc., and said to himself, "I won't throw them away this time." But the truth is, he loses at least one thing almost every day. When the whole family returned home happily, Harvey muttered to the bicycle, "Where have all the things gone?" The puppy Raja guarding the pile of things next to him burst into laughter. Seeing this, you can't help but go back and look for the missing things on every page. "Beach Holiday" is like this, you can't put it down.

I heard that he also created "Jungle Holiday" as a series. Although I haven’t read it, I think it must be correct. This summer vacation, I took my girl to read the book "Jungle Holiday".

This is the text of the French author Marie-Alina Ba, and the picture is one of the Tom Rabbit series created by (France) Le Masny. Suitable for children aged 2-6 to read. This book "Tom Goes to the Beach" describes in particular detail the scene when little Tom Rabbit follows his parents to the beach for the first time. Seeing the sea for the first time, "Ocean! You are so big, just like...the sea!" The child's emotion was like this...so real! Tom and his father, together with their new friends, built a sandcastle, piled shells and paper flowers on the sandcastle, built a bridge, and watched the tide wash away little by little, leaving nothing on the beach...

Extended reading:

Since it is a series, it uses fresh and relaxing pictures to describe the life scenes of a little rabbit, such as "Tom Goes to Kindergarten", "Tom Is Sick" and "Tom is Lost" "Tom has a little sister" and other series. Later there were "Tom Goes to the City", "Tom Goes to the Country" and so on.

I think it is more suitable for children aged two or three. The whole set of books is easy to understand and many of the plots in the book are very close to babies' lives. My daughter used to particularly like the toys in Tom Rabbit's yard. The pictures in the book are also very fresh, and it is a pleasure just to look at them. I think the baby will like it. If your English is good, you can also watch the original version, which is not particularly tiring.

"Lay eggs, lay eggs, always lay eggs. There will always be more fun things in life than laying eggs." This is a famous saying in the French picture book series "A Different Carmela". I Want to Go to the Sea is the first in this series of picture books. The little hen Carmela doesn't want to learn to lay eggs like other chicks. She had a desire to see the sea. After being criticized by my father, I actually saw the sea after traveling alone. And together with Columbus, he discovered the New World and found his life partner, Piddick.

"I Want to Have a Sister", "I Want the Stars", "I Want to Find the Sun" and other different Carmela series are also written by French writers works. The two brothers, Christiana, published a work that is best-selling all over the world, one word and one painting. It tells the adventure story of the hen Carmela and her children Camellido and Carmen.

Two little mice Guli and Gula helped the sea boy who worked on the Pearl Lighthouse to retrieve pearls from the narrow hole. In return, the sea boy taught Guli Gula to swim. Sea children demonstrated the dog paddle, jellyfish pose, whale pose, butterfly pose, flounder pose, frog pose, dolphin jump, and the original sea child pose. These strokes became something we mentioned every time we played in the water.

The field mice Guli and Gula are good friends. Their biggest hobby is "making delicious food and eating delicious food." What will they do if they find a big egg that they can’t hold? Roll over a big pot, get some flour, and bake a big golden cake. What happens when you meet a big pumpkin? Guli and Gula clean up...a ??lot of interesting things happened between them. The Guri and Gula series are famous Japanese best-selling picture books. They have been translated into 8 languages ??and are also popular around the world. The authors of this set of picture books are two Japanese sisters. This combination is quite popular in the picture book world. So when my country’s two-child policy is relaxed, maybe we all have picture book writing families like this.
