House Dad’s Literary Life

"You can open these books and see if you like them. Dad buys them for you." Yang said with a smile, he was worried that his daughter was bored and didn't know what to do at the bookstore.

It’s also a lot of fun to look for books in the bookstore!

The ignorant nod, she turned her head and focused on the bookshelf, and the book of the little man seemed to attract the attention of the little girl, just like the previous wonderful patterns.

However, Yang Lan saw 曦曦 left to look at the right, and finally reached out to the large-open book, those small-open, thick little books were ignored by the little girl.

Perhaps it is because the color of the large format is more vivid and the pattern looks richer.

I saw the little girl holding the bowl, and both hands clutched a large-capacity album. The book was as big as her face, resting on the edge of the bookshelf, and some worried that she would fall.

At the beginning, she was still at a loss. But after looking at the little brother next to him, the little girl turned over. However, she wore gloves and her fingers were awkward and turned directly into the middle of the book.

Yang Lan squatted down, first helped the book, and then said with a funny smile: "Come, Dad will help you take off your gloves, how do you read a book with gloves?"

"But, but I am afraid of cold." He held out two small hands, but he still said to his father with anxiety.

"I'm not afraid, it's not cold here." Yang Lan took off the two small gloves, and then held her two small hands in the palm of her hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "You see, it's not cold now?" ”

"Oh!" The little girl suddenly opened her eyebrows and giggled.

Let her read the book, Yang Lan also flipped through these little books.

However, after a while, Yang Lan also found some problems. Most of these little books are comic books. Although the number of words is small, and a few pictures constitute a small story, its plot is not suitable for watching.

For example, this comic book describing campus jokes.

A child said to his table: "How do you eat French fries?" (Note 1)

The second picture says: "What I hate most is the person who worships foreigners!"

In the third picture, he asked him silently at the same table: "You are still embarrassed to tell me, what is the box on your desk?" (In the comic, the main character's desk is also placed with a large box, with him. The box of fries at the same table is exactly the same.)

As a result, in the fourth picture, the protagonist smiled slyly: "Whoever said, this is obviously a fritter."

In the cartoon, the open box is a strip of fritters stacked like French fries.

It’s not that it’s not good-looking, but the problem is that Yang Lan can’t help but smile and feel very interesting.

The stories or jokes told by these little books are obviously not just for children, but adults can see them.

Of course, just look at this story, Yang Lan does not mind letting you see. But looking at other stories, Yang Lan saw that the author used some smiles of urinating, used some topics of love between boys and girls, and even used jokes like ***, lipstick, masks and the like. .

To make a comparison, these little books are just like "Crayon Shinchan", which is more like an adult-reading comic. Although the late "Crayon Shinchan" has lost a lot of gender, it is still more adult.

So can this be called a children's comic? Obviously not suitable for children who have not started school yet! Yang Lan does not want to let these shackles touch these adult ways of thinking.

Let Yang Lan think that the problem is very serious. It is not such a special case. This comic book in the children's book area is similar to most comics.

Yang Lan remembered a column in the newspaper that Fu Qian had shown to him in the past. Although Fu Jun showed it to himself, it was because Yu Qian recommended his first "Sleeping Bedtime Story" and let his book be sold out of stock in Guangdong Province, but Yang Lan still remembers Yu Qian in that article. A review of children's literature, she said that Chinese children's literature has now entered a misunderstanding. Many writers who write children's literature use adult thinking to conceive, and the stories written are not suitable for children to see!

Yu Qian is also a mother. As a writer, she has always encouraged her children to read, but in her eyes, only Yang Lan’s "Sleeping Bedtime Story" is really a book suitable for children to read, not only stories. Full of imagination, and the words and sentences will not deliberately use gorgeous rhetoric.

Yang Lan now took out the book and bought it, and finally realized the feeling of Yu Qian.

Looking for a circle, Yang Lan actually just found a few children's books that are still OK.

A book called "The Adventures of Little Fish" describes a small sea fish. After birth, it started its adventures in the sea. There is no particularly thrilling plot. It is a bit like a science book, so that children can be beautiful. In the illustrations, get to know the sea world.

There is also a book called "Pug Clown", which is a bit like the story of an ugly duckling. The pug clown is suspected of having so many pets in this family, indifferent cats, ferocious dogs, proud parrots, naughty squirrels, greed. Eat the pig, and a talking old lizard. But unlike the ugly duckling, the pug clown did not become beautiful. It was very active in facing the dog, bravely facing the challenge, and got the friendship of other pets in the family in a small story.

and many more……

A total of four books, these fairy tales can still be seen, and they are all big-open, full-color map, expensive is a little expensive, but Yang Hao took it to the girl, the little girl saw it very much.

The problem is that, in the children's books and small bookcases with hundreds of books, Yang Lan has found that less than four books are suitable for viewing.

No, I finally bought five books.

Because I dared to explore with courage, I found a book I liked.

"I want this!" The little girl holds a book of 20-inch size and looks at her dad with hope. Just like the usual doll she sees, she wants her father to buy her back. same.

Yang Lan looked at it. This is not a story book, but a lot of cartoon illustrations, introducing children's books on science and animals in the forest.

“Do you like this?” Yang Lan asked with some surprise.

"There are bunny and small mushrooms on it!" He nodded and said seriously to Dad.

It turns out that she is also looking at the picture "Calling the Book". For the awkwardness, in the book, the story describing the text does not understand her. On the contrary, the more beautiful the picture inside, the more colorful it is, the more she likes it. .

Of course, the popular science book Yang Lan is still willing to buy it.

I bought my books and went home. I was very happy along the way. I sang the songs I learned in the kindergarten for a while. I was excited to talk to my dad. It seemed that I went out to the bookstore and went to buy a bunch of dolls. It was fun. Now!

However, Yang Lan was not so happy. From this shopping, he deeply realized the seriousness of the problem described by Yu Qian about children's books.

Although he did not worry about the country and the people, but he also had to consider what his daughter had read these books, and then what to look at?

Even if you grow up, there are other books to read. After that, what about yourself and Murphy’s second child?

These problems, Yang Lan can not avoid to face.

Of course, Yang Lan can write it himself, but how many books can he write for children?

Yang Lan has been ridiculed for inspiration. He has not seen many children's stories in his previous life, and most of them are stories he has compiled according to the definition of some fairy tales. If he continues to swear, he will write something like the little book, with many adult mindsets.

Besides, the effectiveness of his own efforts alone is limited.

What should Yang Lan do?
