Story x Collage: Helping children learn about colors and shapes
A picture book with a brisk pace, pleasant to listen to and fun to read.
Under the call of the little red paper,
A large collection of colored paper in many different colors,
Suddenly it turned into an apple,
It suddenly became a garden, a train and a cake...
The story personifies the colored paper.
Many cute little color blocks come together.
Collage into beautiful pictures on the pages of books,
After reading the story, I also want to play it!
Readers' response
My 3-year-old daughter loves this book and listens to it several times a day. For young children, interest is the most important thing, so if you want children to like books, they must be fun. This story is so nice to read, the author really understands children!
I like the brisk pace and beautiful colors of this book. Each small block of color has a different expression, so cute! I read this story with my child and together we completed a beautiful collage and hung it on the wall in the living room.
My eldest daughter, who just turned three, asked me to read to her. I thought she wouldn’t be able to follow along with the tear-and-stick art, but she actually had no problem! The size of the colored paper in the book is the same as that of ordinary colored paper. It’s great that after listening to the story, the children can’t help but play with it themselves.
