Chapter 11 Introduce children's books to children

As the children celebrate the International Children's Day, I would like to introduce some good children's books to them with enthusiasm, as a festival gift. Within one or two years after Lin Biao and the "Gang of Four" were overthrown, I saw that the children not only studied very actively, but also became more interested in reading extracurricular books.They often wander around the library and adults' bookshelves, or outside the window of the bookstore, unable to decide which book to borrow or buy.Seeing their enthusiastic and eager eyes, I feel that in order to build the four modernized motherlands and improve the scientific and cultural level of the builders, we have the necessity and responsibility to select and introduce children's books for them.

Now I have a few children's books that I love to read published by China Children's Publishing House: For example, "The Secret of the Precious Gourd", it tells about a child named Wang Bao who always wanted to get something for nothing, and got a Give him whatever he wants.As a result, what he got was not happiness and joy, but boredom and distress.The author, Comrade Zhang Tianyi, is a well-known old writer. He told this story very fascinatingly, with vivid and humorous words.There is also "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" written by Comrade Xu Guangyao. It tells the story of Zhang Ga, a child who loved the Eighth Route Army before liberation. Under the education of the guerrillas and the training of the war, he realized his wish.Both of the above two stories have been made into movies, and children may have seen them and have a deep impression on them.

In addition, there are two books written by famous writers, one is Comrade Hu Qi's "Colorful Road", which is about three children in Tibet who leave their hometown and go to a colorful road built by the People's Liberation Army to find happiness; This is Comrade He Yi's "The Roaring Petroleum River", which tells the story of the famous Daqing iron man Wang Jinxi in his youth. Both books can inspire children's patriotic feelings and inspire their courage to fight. Here, I would like to introduce the following three books emphatically.The first one was written by Comrade Ye Junjian.This is a collection of short stories that reflect the lives of foreign teenagers and children. The first three stories tell about the tragic humiliation of colonial children under the oppression of the colonizers, and their struggle for freedom; The lives of working people and the friendship among them.Reading these will help children gain an understanding of the historical geography and social systems of various countries and regions in the world, and it will also be of great benefit in promoting sympathy and support among children in third world countries.The second book is "The Adventures of Little Rag Tou" written by Comrade Sun Youjun. It is about a little doll, "Little Rag Tou", who was reprimanded by his friend Pingping for wasting food, so he escaped and went to a rural people's commune. I went through many hardships and dangers, and at the same time learned the truth of cherishing food, and finally returned to Pingping's side.The text of this story is very simple and very interesting.The third book is "Fengfeng in Tomorrow" written by Comrade Gu Junqiao. This is a new book written by a new author, and it is for children who are about to embark on the road of the four modernizations.The protagonist Fengfeng in the book is very yearning and fascinated by "tomorrow", but he thinks that "today" is too troublesome and troublesome; Put off what you do until tomorrow.One day, he actually came to the world of "tomorrow", and encountered many strange things, which he couldn't handle, only then did he know how to welcome tomorrow.

This is a book that understands children's psychology very well. The descriptions of science in it are also based on science, which can increase children's scientific knowledge. Now, there are already many children's books and periodicals published all over the country. Children may read more books and periodicals than I do. Here, I will only list a few that I think are good.As for how to get benefits from reading, for example, what kind of touch and lessons these stories give us, and how to see the author's choice and refinement of the structure of the story plot and words, all must be carefully pondered by the readers themselves. experience.I hope that the children will cherish their spare time and never let go of a good book!
