Cai Meiwen is eager to protect her calf and resists others' intervention in her life with Xiaoqincai, and is even more disgusted with others educating Xiaoqincai for her. She knows that saying that raising pets in a pet store is not a good thing to cause a war, and she is also ready to quarrel, but she didn't expect that Zhang Zian just wanted to tell a story.

She didn't know if the story was a fictional story or a real story like hers, but if it was just a story, there seemed to be no reason to object.

When Xiao Qincai heard that she was about to tell a story, her attention was attracted and temporarily put the death of the stray cat aside.

The rain has eased, and the work pressure of the clerks has also been greatly reduced. They have never heard Zhang Zi'an tell stories and are very curious.

Even the elves listened with interest, including Shihua, who was in the bathroom upstairs. She often recited fairy tales to netizens in the live broadcast room, and Zhang Zi'an told stories under her nose. Isn't this a show of Huamen?

"I want to explain first that this story was not written by me. The original author was a picture book writer in Fusang, and this writer was born in the capital of China. I can't remember the exact content of this story very clearly, so I will make some harmless changes to this story." Zhang Zi'an made a copyright statement first and could not take other people's stories as his own.

Xiao Cincai raised her hand and asked, "What is a picture book?"

Lu Yiyun rarely interrupted in front of outsiders. She whispered timidly: "Let me answer, I have someone I know who is painting picture books for a publishing house, and I know a little more..."

Zhang Zian nodded to her encouragement.

Lu Yiyun slightly raised the volume, "The so-called picture books are actually similar to children's fairy tale books. They mainly use pictures and are accompanied by a small number of simple and easy-to-understand text..."

"So it's just a fairy tale book? It's a tall name." Wang Qian interrupted.

Lu Yiyun shook her head, "Similar, but not completely. Fairy tales mainly tell stories, making children feel interesting and understand them. They don't need to bear additional meaning. At most, they help children recognize words. For example, "The Daughter of the Sea", this famous fairy tale is tortuous and beautiful, but after listening to it, it doesn't seem to have any special educational significance. Maybe adults can understand something from it, but children definitely don't have that kind of understanding, and it's all done after listening to it."

Everyone thoughtfully and thought it was a bit reasonable. Modern popular fairy tales originated from Europe and the United States. Most European and American fairy tales are simply telling stories, and they are all about the matter between the prince and the princess.

What is the educational significance of the fairy tale like "Snow White"? It means that stepmothers are bad people and always try their best to kill you? This seems not very harmonious in modern society. The stepmother and queen want to kill the princess is to inherit the throne of others. Most of the people who read fairy tales are children of ordinary families, and at most they inherit Huabei...

The divorce rate in modern society is getting higher and higher, and people get married and divorce more and more casually. It is normal to remarry with children after divorce. There are many stepfathers and stepmothers who regard the children brought by their partners as their own. However, if the child is deeply impressed by "Snow White", the initial favorability of the stepmother or stepfather may be reduced by 30% first... It is simply a poisonous weed of capitalism.

Of course, everything cannot be generalized by partiality. A small number of fairy tales do have certain educational significance. For example, "The Adventures of Pinocchio", at least it educates children - don't lie, otherwise your nose will grow longer. But this educational significance is too weak and cannot stand scrutiny or verification. It may be that children aged three or four will believe it.

Compared with the ancient and fairy tales that are separated from the times, books in this form of picture books are new things. Countless picture book authors are innovating every year. Picture book stories are close to reality and give children a natural sense of inclusion. The most important thing is that good picture book stories must have a high degree of educational significance. Whether it is to teach children life knowledge, scientific knowledge, outlook on life and values, it is fun to teach and not make children feel boring. Even adults will have some insights when reading them, which is very suitable for parent-child reading.

Unfortunately, many parents cannot distinguish between fairy tales and picture books, and think that they are all children's books anyway. They just buy and buy and throw them to their children to read. They will not read them themselves, nor will they guide their children to read them correctly.

Especially the stepfather and stepmother who often appear as negative characters in fairy tales, how many parents will tell their children when reading with their children that bad stepfathers and evil stepmothers are just an isolated case, and most stepfathers are good people like biological parents?

If your own children have a native family, it does not mean that other children are equally lucky. Your own children may laugh at other parents' remarriage children and scare them to abuse them.

Lu Yiyun clarified the subtle but important difference between fairy tales and picture books to everyone, and then stopped talking.

"Thank you Xiaoyun, you explained it very clearly." Zhang Zian said.

Cai Meiwen felt a little ashamed when she heard this. She used to be the same. When she bought books for Xiaoqincai, she would always buy a lot of items in the online mall when there were discount activities. Among them, they must include those world-famous fairy tales. She didn't know whether there were picture books or not, so she probably also used them as fairy tales.

In her opinion, world-famous fairy tales have been circulating for so many years, and all the children have read them, so why can't they buy the wrong one?

Most parents have the same idea. Anyway, others buy it, so I buy it.

She knew that these were all excuses, but in fact, parents were essentially trying to save trouble.

She really didn't have time to read fairy tales with Xiaoqicai, but she planned to sort out Xiaoqicai's fairy tale books after she went back and eliminate those fairy tale books that were famous books but were no longer suitable for modern children.

Since those present have understood the difference between fairy tales and picture books, Zhang Zi'an got to the point and said: "Compared with the distant and out of reality, picture book stories often use animals common in daily life as the protagonists, and animals common in daily life are often pets that accompany people day and night."

When talking about pets, Xiao Celery became more energetic. She knew that the next story must be the protagonist of a certain pet.

"The name of this picture book story sounds strange, called "The Cat Who Lives a Million Times". "Zhang Zian said, "I emphasize again that I can't remember the original text of this story clearly, so I can only make some harmless changes to the content. Moreover, the original work has more pictures and few words, but due to the limitations of objective conditions, I can only describe it in words and language. Xiao Celery, you can try to imagine in my mind based on my narrative, if you feel it is difficult..."

He turned his head and looked at the elves, "You can also imagine them by referring to their appearance."
