Reflections on the Queen's Shadow (1): In the story, the theme is general.

When the palace collides with animals, what kind of sparks will be generated between them? Of course, fairy tales are inevitable. If it is a difficult case, and the reader-not only young readers, of course-can be transformed into a detective like Sherlock Holmes, then is he helpless in the face of the case, or can he finally reveal the final truth layer by layer? Of course, you are not fighting alone, and you will not feel that you have no motivation to move forward. After all, there is also a royal detective Pippi who is also solving the case. If the game starts now, who will have the last laugh and win the final championship? !

What happened in the palace is really incredible. Losing things in the palace is nothing, and the queen is not sacred-she will also be targeted by thieves, just like you and me. However, the same thing is lost, and the resources that the Queen can mobilize are much more. No, Royal Detective Pippi Shrimp is duty-bound to step forward and catch that hateful thief at one stroke! Is Detective Pippi Shrimp really that amazing? Or, as readers, you, me and him, would you be better if you were interested in a crime-solving competition with Royal Detective Pippi? ! It's no use making so many preparations. Let's start thinking quickly and find out which one is the thief-this is the real business!

Unexpectedly, Sibley Young, an internationally renowned Canadian artist, told a suspenseful popular science story in the picture book Shadow of the Queen. Let's not be serious. Will the shadow really be lost? Even if it can be lost, so what? Royal detective Pippi Shrimp, who happened to be in the palace, asked the guests in turn-Sir Chameleon, Captain Shark, Spearhead Snake, Goat, Dragonfly, Giant Squid, Doctor Pigeon and Little Sea urchins romanov and Akino! A few of them, who will be the hateful guy? In order to catch the criminal suspect, it is not enough to rely on authority alone, but also need tangible evidence to convince people!

How did Royal Detective Pippi Shrimp solve the case? There is a detailed process in the picture book, and there is no need for spoilers here. It is worth pondering why Pipi shrimp solved the case in this way. Why do humans have such different perspectives from different animals such as chameleon, shark, pike, snake, goat, dragonfly, giant squid, doctor pigeon and little sea urchin? ! If we just hear such a story and don't look at the specific process, every character in the story has demands. As detectives, can you, me and him get the final truth smoothly?

Without fear of difficulties, solving a case is learning, and failing to solve a case is actually valuable learning. Useful knowledge is acquired in this process. Smooth sailing is not enough to prove that you can be complacent from now on. There is really no need to sell yourself short because of constant setbacks! The process of learning knowledge is difficult and easy, and the only constant should be the studious and humble self. It's all the same in the world, but it won't break the truth soon. It depends on whether you have that rare understanding!

Reflection on the Queen's Shadow (2): Something is missing. What is this? -Children's desire to explore and develop.

In terms of ability, there has never been an era with such high requirements. Children's skills to learn have multiplied, and their abilities have tripled or even n times with the diversification and integration of the external environment. Then starting from scratch, from knowledge to mastery, is a great challenge for every modern child and parent. Such a huge ability and knowledge system, even before junior high school, is not easy to be basically in place. In this way, relying only on traditional words and deeds and field experience will make people feel more difficult to invest time and energy.

Since the future world belongs to children, it is better to let them take over as soon as possible. Give them enough space to explore in a safe range and in an appropriate way. In this way, the desire to explore is very important.

The desire to explore is not equal to "why".

Many children like to ask casually why, why? Why is that red? Why is chalk made into a cone? Why is rice opaque when steamed? ..... Behind these piles of questions, is it thinking or habitual questioning?

If you watch carefully, you will find that many questions are asked casually, and children will learn this skill from their parents. They mistakenly think that as long as I love to ask questions, my parents will feel happy, regardless of whether the answers given by my elders can satisfy their just questions, or whether their expectations for the form of questions are far higher than their thirst for knowledge itself.

How to guide children's healthy desire to explore may be inspired by the book Shadow of the Queen.

The queen's shadow was set at the banquet hosted by the queen. During the dinner, the shadow of the queen disappeared, and the angry queen began to screen suspects among animal guests. Coincidentally, each guest has his own unique set of statements to get rid of suspects. A contest between reasoning and skill began.

First, the use of "why".

There are not many reasons in the book, but problems that keep flashing in my mind during reading. The desire to explore is escalating in the process of tracking, so finding these answers with children and judging the rationality of the guests' reasons is the link for children to truly connect the desire to explore with the results. When we explore the potential meaning of the content sentence by sentence, instead of falling into the wrong cycle of "asking questions-finding the answer-praising excitedly immediately, and then asking questions", we will gradually form a healthy model in children's behavioral thinking.

Second, knowledge is willful when discovering the great skills of small people!

No one can do everything. Similarly, everyone has his own unique talent. Even if this talent is insignificant, we have to admit that it is something we don't have.

Instead of repeating the above teachings, it is better to experience them in stories. The skills of these common and uncommon animals are unmatched by us humans. Pippi shrimp has binocular vision and can see polarized light, which is equivalent to that we need glasses to watch 3D movies, and Pippi shrimp is born with special effects of 3D glasses.

The book "The Shadow of the Queen" provides a section of in-depth popular science for each defending guest, so that children can experience the charm of knowledge in reading. Look! I have learned the skills of Pipi shrimp. Next time, no one should underestimate this general sickle in the sea. Knowledge is willfulness!

With the help of a book, it is fun in education to take children to know the world and practice skills in stories, and it is also a happy time between parents and children in the family.

Reflection after the film (3): cool science is blowing in the palace.

There is a cool popular science wind blowing in the palace.

-thoughts on reading the shadow of the queen

Speaking of palaces, the adjectives we can think of are: solemn, majestic, resplendent, resplendent … What can be done in a palace? Let's talk about business, politics, current affairs and other things related to the kingdom and people! But there are such palaces here, and there are waves of popular science! And super cool! Exclaimed: popular science can also be popularized in the palace, and it is so * * *!

Sibley Young, an internationally renowned artist from Canada, is a versatile person. He has created a series of children's books, and many of his works have won many awards, such as the Canadian Governor's Award, and have been highly praised by new york Times, Cox Book Review, School library journal and other famous newspapers. Recently, she has created a series of picture books on popular science, The Shadow of the Queen. Just look at the cover, the magnificent palace, the queen in noble and elegant clothes, and many animals of various colors ... everything seems chaotic and you can't guess the story at all.

Read the story of picture books with strong curiosity, and you will be impressed by the author and painter's super language ability and superb painting skills! In this work, the author once again shows her outstanding insight and keen curiosity:

There was a banquet in the palace (in fact, this is the most common story at the beginning), everyone was immersed in the carnival, and the Queen's Ball (the protagonist of this story appeared) had a strong atmosphere. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the hall was suddenly dark. In fact, I think there should be a lot to write about this process, but in this picture book story, I skipped a word. This aroused my curiosity: such a thick picture book actually ignored the place where I felt there were many stories! )

After the lights came on, people discovered a daring theft: someone stole the queen's shadow! How could the shadow be gone? Incredible, isn't the shadow with people? Talking about this to the child, the child kept asking: Why? You can steal it after dark. The point is that the object of theft is the queen! )

Fortunately, the Royal Detective Pippi Shrimp happened to be there. It turns out that there are so many animals in the palace besides the queen. In this book, Pippi Shrimp turns into a detective. Seeing this, the child said: Why is Pippi Shrimp a detective? With this suspense, he couldn't stop reading), and he asked the guests present in turn: Sir Chameleon, Captain Shark, Spearhead Snake, Goat, Dragonfly, Giant Squid, Doctor Pigeon and Little Sea urchins romanov and Akino. Once again, I was impressed by the author's meticulous observation and description! These animals seldom touch each other. Although we know their names, we know very little about their living habits and characteristics, and rarely mention them to children. Even if it is a popular science book, the children don't buy it at all, and they can't listen! )

After repeated tracking by Pippi Shrimp and Queen Ants, the "suspects" began to argue one by one: although the goat has super stereoscopic vision, it can't see what is in front of it, so when the spearhead snake points the crime at it, it expounds and argues according to its own visual characteristics; Finally, the sea urchin, which is rarely seen at ordinary times, turned out to be the person who solved the mystery-the queen left her own shadow in the toilet.

It turns out that the perspective of animals is like this! Many times we always look at everything from our own perspective. For example, every animal will blame another animal from its own point of view, regardless of the real situation of others. Actually, think about it in our real life, don't you? No matter for children, parents, colleagues and friends, we always think from our own thinking. Often, it is biased to study these "contradictions"!

Shadow of the Queen is an imaginative picture book. By reading the story, we can not only understand the author's witty narrative skills and meticulous brushwork, but also appreciate the exquisite pen-and-ink painting. Every detail is handled properly and in place, and the wonderful and cool stories, together with exquisite painters, present us with a world full of fantasy colors and strong popular science style.

Reflection after the Shadow (IV): Suspense+Animal Vision Science = Interesting Picture Book

The shadow of the queen. Shit! Shit! Her Majesty's shadow is gone, gone. Yes! The queen's shadow was stolen. ...

The originally lively dance was suddenly splashed with a basin of ice water, and all the participants became jittery. Who stole the shadow of the queen and who was the thief?

When I opened the picture book Shadow of the Queen, my curiosity was suddenly aroused.

The design of suspense leads to a series of interesting and knowledgeable encyclopedias of animal vision. In the process of solving the case, all the suspected animals were questioned by Royal Detective Pippi Shrimp. Although detective Pippi shrimp is sometimes a little self-righteous, it undoubtedly makes the process of solving crimes interesting.

Shadow of the Queen is a popular science picture book, which has aroused children's curiosity. Taking Her Majesty the Queen and her detective Pipi Shrimp as the main line of a series of stories, this paper introduces the visual characteristics of animals such as Pipi Shrimp, Chameleon, Shark and Spearhead Snake to young readers in an interesting way. In this way, the eyes of Pipi shrimp have depth perception, and they can actually see 12 colors that are particularly suitable for human beings; Another example is sharks. Although they can't recognize colors, they can clearly see bright and dark patterns in turbid or dim water. This is amazing! Such knowledge points are all over the picture book, which greatly improves the readability of the picture book.

As we all know, for children, it is not enough to express a lot of popular science knowledge only in words, because words cannot express the realism of that image. Therefore, in order to help children better understand the visual effects of various animals, Sibley Young, the author of picture books, has also made great efforts in illustration. She tried her best to restore the sights and colors of the world seen by each animal. For example, when Pippi shrimp interrogated the spearhead snake, the spearhead snake defended itself, and the illustration also described in detail the external images it could see. You see, the image of the goat and Her Majesty's feet are like this in the eyes of the spearhead snake! The perfect combination of words and pictures is beneficial to children's understanding.

Many times, what we humans don't understand can be well reflected in picture books. Just like the picture book "The Shadow of the Queen" gave us a very vivid lesson in popular science knowledge. In the process of parent-child reading, parents and children learn together and grow together. Children can discuss and even ask questions with their parents through various knowledge points in picture books, and parents can also use children's questions to encourage their children to explore and learn deeper and broader knowledge.

Finally, this suspense case was actually solved by two humble little sea urchins. Although the ending was a bit of an oolong, each animal also got a lot of inspiration. The shadows of animals are also fixed on the dance floor, and these shadows are like wonderful questions, waiting for more young readers to dig.

On the one hand, the picture book Shadow of the Queen arouses children's thirst for knowledge and curiosity, on the other hand, it can also urge them to further expand from these basic popular science knowledge and broaden other knowledge. This is what a good picture book brings to children!

Reflection on The Queen's Shadow (5): Various manifestations of a good story

The reason why a good story can attract readers and catch people's eyes is not only good content, but also clever layout and arrangement, as well as all kinds of unexpected things for readers. Although different stories have different forms of expression, one thing is certain. The beauty of a good story has many forms.

The title of the book begins to arouse people's appetite before the content of the book is unfolded, which is also a kind of performance. If we only look at the cover of The Queen's Shadow, it is difficult for us to guess what this book is about. On the cover, the queen is dignified and dignified, wearing a luxurious dress with a waist, dragging a long shadow behind her. She is surrounded by sea urchins, goats, shrimps, sharks, pigeons, spearhead snakes and dragonflies. Seeing these unrelated people and animals, and then connecting with the title of the book, it is easy to doubt, the shadow of the queen? What is so special about her shadow? Is this a story book about shadows? What do these animals have to do with the queen and her shadow? The headline surprised us very much. Never mind, there is a subtitle to add-about how animals see the world. See the world? Is it a philosophical story? Well, I still don't understand what this story is about. I can't wait to know.

When we eagerly opened the text and read the story, we found that it was a surreal story. With rich imagination, the author broke people's original understanding of people and animals. The queen's royal party is lively and thoughtful, and the queen is strict and clean, but the "dignitaries of the whole upper class" are all kinds of animals. These animals also come from different regions and have different habits: chameleons mainly inhabit trees or low bushes; Sharks live in the ocean and have a fierce temperament; Goats live in exposed rocks on the plateau and gravel areas on the mountainside, and their temper is stubborn; Spearhead snakes are distributed in various living environments in America and are highly toxic; Dragonfly lives near the water and is a beneficial light insect. Giant squid live in the deep sea; Pigeon is a kind of bird that everyone is familiar with and likes, whether it is wild or domestic; Sea urchins live in shallow water. According to general logic, it is impossible for animals in the sea to come to land. These animals rarely meet, and even if they meet together, it is basically impossible to live in peace. But the author doesn't care about it. She not only brought these animals together, but also made them have interesting stories with the Queen. The serious queen treats these animals like subjects and is not afraid at all. Also, people's shadows are generated in the process of light propagation and will not be lost at all. But the queen not only lost her own shadow, but finally, all the animals lost their own shadow. This unimaginable fictional story not only enriches the content of the story, greatly expands the tension of the story, but also shows us the diversity of animals.

But the author still thinks it is not thrilling enough, so he designs a twisted detective story. At the high-end royal party, the shadow of the queen suddenly disappeared! This is not bad! Find the suspect quickly! Royal detective Pippi Shrimp made a grand appearance and asked the guests present in turn. Everyone not only denied stealing the shadow of the queen, but also provided the next suspect according to their own unique perspective. One by one, we are all worried about whether we can find the big bad guy in the end. This is a serious investigation process. However, after checking and checking, at last, two thieves and a smirking sea urchin appeared. Neither nervous nor serious, they smiled and gave the final result: in fact, it was the Queen who left her own shadow in the toilet! In this case, the Royal Detective Pippi Shrimp thinks that he has strict reasoning, and every time he bragged, he would be overthrown by animals. The chameleon was shocked and scared when he heard that he was suspected; Captain shark is calm and calm. Animals have different personalities and vivid images, and they all have different performances in the cases, which is impressive.

All seemingly impossible animals appear in a tense detective case, which not only makes us experience the vivid twists and turns of the story, but also makes us learn a lot of popular science knowledge. It turns out that the position and structure of each animal's eyes are different, so the scope of observation and the scene seen are different. The author used a paragraph next to each animal to explain it, which not only promoted the development of the plot, but also wrote the characteristics of animals seeing the world, killing two birds with one stone. The introduction of several animals at the back of the story also gives us a general understanding of the "criminal suspect".

The use of pen-and-ink painting to express the characters in the book has promoted the development of the story and more clearly reflected the changes of light and shadow, which is integrated with the shadow theme in the book and has its own characteristics.

Of course, there are many points in this story that can be explored and expanded. For example, the language and temperament of various animals in the book, how other animals see the world, what inspiration animals finally get, and so on. You can analyze and search with your child in parent-child reading.

In short, the better the story, the more it can span various forms of expression, make the story more full and three-dimensional, and capture the readers' hearts!

Reflection on The Shadow of the Queen (ⅵ): Animal Vision

You can't guess what book it is at a glance. Only after reading it can you know its wonderful. This is a unique picture book of animal science.

The story begins with a plot to solve a crime, and shows us the world in the eyes of animals in the process of detective. First of all, the story is a bit bizarre, but nothing is impossible for children. Humans can live with animals, and even marine life can run to land. Well, in that case, the story is naturally not bizarre.

From the picture, we can see that many animals are invited to the Queen's ball. Who is the queen? Since you are the queen and the commander of the first round, surely no one is afraid of not coming to her dance? On the contrary, everyone yearns to attend the Queen's Ball, where there are all kinds of important people, and those who can come to the Queen's Ball must have a high status. But in this advanced dance, there will be "thieves", and it is the shadow of the queen who steals things.

Next, all of them were included in the category of suspects and went through a series of processes, such as providing evidence, defending themselves and testifying. Royal detective Pippi Shrimp took the initiative to undertake detective work. It asked Sir Chameleon, Captain Shark, Spearhead Snake, Count Goat, Dragonfly, Squid, Doctor Pigeon and two little sea urchins in turn. Everyone in the former is a witness to the latter, and the former should prove the latter while defending itself. One after another was denied. In this process, we will see that the illustrations in this book show different patterns from those we see in our daily life, which are based on the images in the eyes of witnesses.

This is a story picture book that combines animal science knowledge. The text on the left side of each page is the plot narrative of the story development, the text on the right box is the popular science knowledge of animals, and the common knowledge is the visual knowledge of animals. From these popular science knowledge, we know that Pippi shrimp has extraordinary eyesight, and even a needle in a haystack can be found. Its two eyes have three eyes, and its eyes have 16 photoreceptors and so on. No wonder. Although sharks can't see color, they can keenly perceive the contrast between light and dark; There are cells that detect light at the top and bottom of thousands of spiny tubular feet of sea urchins. ..... These unpopular knowledge about vision, this book broadens our horizons and increases our knowledge. Each animal provides useful clues with its own vision, and the mystery is solved bit by bit. Although the ending surprised us, in the process, the children gained a lot of knowledge. Finally, they can consolidate their knowledge of visual terminology.

A story-telling, informative and entertaining picture book, which is cool and unusual, is a wonderful picture book that amazes children.
