Although the cardboard picture books textbook illustration event has ended, it has also brought us a lot of thinking. If there are more illustrations in cardboard picture books or more pictures in picture books, will there be the same problem? How should we choose cardboard picture books with illustrations?

    

     

4. Choose cardboard picture books that match your child's age group:

    

First of all, it is necessary to observe whether the overall style of the illustration of the cardboard picture books conforms to the age characteristics and psychological characteristics of children. Childhood is an important period for the formation of a person's aesthetics. A child's aesthetic development can be divided into three stages: the initial budding period, the initial forming period and the gradual maturity period.

   

     

4.1. The selection of cardboard picture books in infancy:

    

The research results speculate that the budding period of children's aesthetic psychology should occur in infancy. Specifically, infants already have the ability to perceive beautiful things in 2-3 months. Children in their infancy can already distinguish between chromatic and achromatic colors, and bright colors like red can arouse excitement in children. Therefore, children in this period can watch colorful and incorrupt cardboard picture books, pull cardboard picture books, three-dimensional cardboard picture books, flip through cardboard picture books, organization books and other children's cardboard picture books to exercise their children. hand-eye coordination and sensory abilities.

    

 

    

4.2. Selection of cardboard picture book for children in the initial formative period:

     

The initial formation period includes pre-school and early school-age. Children at this stage begin to learn simple drawing, cardboard picture books, music, dance, gymnastics and handicrafts, etc. It can be said that children at this stage of development have already formed their initial aesthetics. At this stage, the cultivation of children's aesthetics is very important. The cardboard picture books for children in this age group are also the most abundant. Parents should carefully identify and select children's cardboard picture books that are positive and beautiful.

     

 

    

4.3. The choice of cardboard picture book for children in adolescence:

     

Adolescent children's cardboard picture book, due to the rapid growth of children's cognition. With the expansion of the scope of knowledge, the ability of thinking and imagination has been greatly improved, coupled with the richness of emotions and the maturity of sex, the child's cardboard picture book aesthetic psychological structure has developed rapidly, including aesthetic feeling, aesthetic evaluation, aesthetic desire and aesthetic The aesthetic consciousness including the ideal was initially formed. At this stage, it is difficult to change the child's aesthetics.

     

     

4.4. The illustrations of children's cardboard picture book should not be too much.

    

Too many cardboard picture book illustrations will distract children's energy. To give a very simple example, in the school classroom, children often stare at the pictures on the cardboard picture book, causing their attention to be distracted and unable to listen carefully.

 Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States found that pages with overly complex content and redundant cardboard picture book images distract primary readers from the text, thereby reducing their understanding of the content.

    

 

    

They did an experiment to prove it. In the experiment, the researchers selected 60 first- and second-grade students from the greater Pittsburgh area for a reading practice book on a marketed cardboard picture book that was specially designed for this age group. Half of the cardboard picture book is a published design, and the other half is a stripped-down cardboard picture book design without extraneous images (referring to purely ornamental images that have nothing to do with understanding the story).

     

    

Each child reads the same cardboard picture book. While each child spent about the same amount of time reading each page of the cardboard picture book, the researchers found that children looked away from the text less often and scored relatively higher on reading comprehension tests when reading the abridged version of the cardboard picture book. .

    

    

Therefore, children's cardboard picture book and teaching materials do not need to add too many illustrations. Selected cardboard picture book illustrations can often make children's attention more concentrated.
