Tear down the picture book and open another window —— Interpretation of the picture book Little Black Fish

It's interesting to see the little black fish for the first time. Read "Little Black Fish" again, wonderful; Until you taste it slowly again, it's like opening another window and finding the magic and wonderful place behind the picture book. Reading the story of the picture book Little Black Fish is a beautiful visual feast, and different colors blend together, which seems to summon readers and the protagonist Little Black Fish to explore the underwater world together.

This picture book mainly tells about a group of small fish living in the corner of the sea. Everyone is red, but only one is black. One day, a fierce tuna ate all the little red fish, but only the little black fish escaped. It was sad to wander in the sea alone, but it met many wonderful life, including jellyfish, lobster, strange fish, seaweed, eel and anemone, and was happy again. It bravely unites the little red fish, teaches them to swim into the most powerful fish in the sea, and acts as its own eyes to scare away all the big fish, thus gaining real freedom and happiness.

First of all, interpret the language password in the picture book.

Picture books are mostly expressed in short sentences, which are suitable for young children to read. When the little black fish lost their good friends and wandered alone in the sea looking for all kinds of wonderful lives, the author Leo Leoni used six pictures, accounting for half of the whole picture book, but there were only six sentences in language expression, five of which used the same sentence pattern "(? ) like (? ) ",simple and repetitive sentence patterns provide a good language expression model for young children. At the same time, there is an important symbol in these sentences-ellipsis, a simple ellipsis used to read the blank space, which can give readers rich imagination. In view of the above two aspects, sentence patterns can be used to guide students to carry out language training in picture book reading, so as to improve their language expression ability on the basis of giving full play to their imagination.

Second, explore the mystery of pictures in picture books

When reading a picture book, you should read the cover first, and sometimes even the cover and back cover should be read together. The cover of the little black fish can tell us a lot of information, including the protagonist and author of the story. Careful observation shows that the color of the little black fish is different from other small fish. The different positions of the little black fish and the little red fish on the cover seem to indicate their different characteristics in the story. The little black fish swam bravely up and forward, and the little red fish hid behind the rock, showing timidity. (Because the ring lining and the title page can't be found in the e-book, I won't interpret them for the time being. When we open the cover of the picture book and approach the text of the picture book, we can see that the little red fish in the picture has no eyes, but the author embellishes the eyes for the little black fish and gives it spirituality. The little black fish behind us said, "I'll make eyes." Pave the way for the content.

In painting creation, the author did not use the traditional methods of cross-hatching and coloring, but used the method of watercolor extension painting (first, the watercolor pigment was diluted with a lot of water, and then painted or rubbed with real objects), while groups of small red fish in the picture were rubbed out. These little red fish sometimes approach and sometimes leave, which gives people a sense of reality when they swim in the water. The only hand-painted fish in this group is a unique little black fish, which brings readers a strong sense of existence. When it comes to the technique of watercolor extension painting, when expressing the shapes of jellyfish and seaweed, the transparency of the picture is increased because of the light color of watercolor, and these details just echo the theme of the picture book. Rainbow jelly-like jellyfish, colorful seaweed and anemones dancing with the wind like pink palm trees interweave different colors, giving underwater creatures wonderful life and constructing a beautiful underwater world.

Third, realize the philosophy in picture books.

After losing his friend, the little black fish wandered alone in the sea, full of sadness and fear, but instead of being immersed in sadness, he chose to face it bravely and look for all kinds of wonderful lives in the underwater world. This is the turning point of the story development and the mood change of the little black fish. After discovering wonderful creatures again and again, he felt the magic of the sea. Because of this, when he met a group of little red fish hiding behind the reef, he encouraged them to come out and have a look. Faced with the timidity of the little red fish, the little black fish used their brains and tried their best to teach them to take their positions and swim closely together, finally scaring off the big fish. What kind of power is this? The power of unity and cooperation. Just like in life, each of us is the little black fish, and we will experience loneliness, fear and sadness, but only by not giving up, facing bravely and thinking in unity, we will always see a beam of light guiding us to open up a broader and freer world.
