As a child in the northwest, he has a special affection for potatoes since he was a child, on the one hand, it is due to the "potato life-saving deeds" in the famine years of the previous generation, and on the other hand, it is out of love for potatoes.

Because my hometown is rich in potatoes, I used to be jokingly called "artichoke lumps" by outsiders, when I heard this word when I was a child, I was often annoyed because I felt disrespected, and when I grew up, when I learned the story behind the potatoes, and then heard such a name, I felt extremely proud, the land under my feet, can give birth to such delicious and versatile ingredients, but also let such ingredients enter different families in the north and south, and even export abroad, this should be how lucky and proud of one thing.

After learning to cook, every time I go to the market to buy vegetables and see potatoes, I feel very kind, like an old friend from my hometown, I am familiar with its growth Xi, it knows my stomach well.

At this time, I can't help but buy two, a dish of sour and spicy shredded potatoes when it's hot, and a bowl of potato noodles when it's cold, and my stomach is comfortable.

Later, when I had a child, I found that the child loves to eat potatoes as much as I do, shredded potatoes, French fries, potato cakes, potato noodles, potato flour, no matter what the potatoes look like, she will "suck" most of the bowl, and the mother can't help but sigh, the child born to the mother of "artichoke pimple" is really a small "artichoke pimple".

In order to let the child know more about potatoes, the mother searched hard and finally found an interesting book, the food education picture book drawn by Yoshishi Hasegawa - "Potato! Potato! After getting it, not only the child likes it, but the mother also looks at it.

In Potato! Potato! In this picture book, the picture book master Hasegawa Yoshi, skillfully combines adventure with food topics, and uses this story to inspire children's interest in reading, let children feel the warmth of family affection, and at the same time let children truly fall in love with food and food.

First of all, of course, the illustrations.

For 3-year-olds, it doesn't matter how much text there is in a picture book because they can't read words, but whether the illustrations are beautiful or not is quite crucial.

Potato! Potato! The illustrations are very good, whether it is the color or the picture, all take into account the child's aesthetics, because the protagonist of this book is a potato, so the main color of the picture book is also "earth" and yellow, and the color of some people and things interspersed in the middle is also relatively soft, without too dazzling tones, it is more friendly to children's eyes, and will not form a strong impact on children's vision.

In the setting, the illustrations of this book are very vivid, each one is full of story and fun, each little "protagonist" has an expression, or happy, or sad, or surprised, or cute, or kind, vivid and interesting, without me to tell the story, just looking at the illustrations, the child is amused to laugh.

In addition to illustrations, let's talk about the storyline.

In Potato! Potato! In this book, the author takes the potato family as the protagonist, and uses their transformation from ingredients to food as the main line, and "staged" a sad and joyful sitcom for the children.

At the beginning of the story, the Tudandan's family and its relatives crossed the mountains to the city's dishes, and then the family was forced to separate, and the Tudandans watched their families leave one by one, and it was "heartbreaking" to say goodbye and entrust at the same time, but also worried about its unknown fate, until one day, it was taken home by a parent, and in the process of being made into food, it quietly missed its relatives.

When it thought it was a farewell, it magically got together at the kindergarten table, making the child cry and laugh.

In the process of reading the story, the child's emotional changes are not obvious, she is happy from beginning to end, but when I read the picture of the separation of the soil and the family, I was inexplicably sad, until the end of the end, when I saw everyone in the same picture, and inexplicably moved, I couldn't help but sigh, the author is really delicate, giving the child such a warm ending.

I asked the girl:

What if one day, you and your mom are separated?

I'll go to my mom.

So what if you can't find your mother?

Then mom, you come to me.

I couldn't bear to pierce the reality, so I said to the girl, you are your mother's baby, how can your mother be willing to part with you, of course she will always be with you.

In addition to the heartwarming storyline, there is another point in this book that appeals to children, and that is potato delicacies.

Potatoes are the enlightenment vegetables of children all over the world, from the first bite of baby food to a variety of delicious foods made of potatoes on the table, all of which make potatoes a guest at the table.

In life, I have seen many children who are picky eaters, some do not eat green vegetables, some do not eat rice, and some do not eat noodles, but I have hardly seen anyone who does not eat potatoes, which is enough to prove the status of potatoes on the table.

Potato! Potato! ", the author allows the potato family to separate in the way of ingredients and reunite in the way of food, which seems to be telling a story, but in fact it is also telling the process of potatoes becoming a delicacy.

From the field to the vegetable market, from the vegetable market to the kitchen, from the kitchen to the table, children fall in love with food and understand the process of food production.

In the wet market, potatoes are the ingredients, and on the table, potatoes are transformed into all kinds of delicious delicacies - potato cakes, potato wedges, potato salad, potato balls...

At the beginning of the book, the child reads it as a story, and at the end of the reading, the child uses it as a "recipe".

"Mom, I'm going to have potato salad too."

Mom, I'm going to eat potato balls."

Mom, I'm going to eat hash browns too."

Of course, in addition to the exquisite illustrations and rich content of this picture book, there is also a major highlight, which is that it comes with magic at the end of the text**.

Beef potatoes, creamy potatoes, boiled potatoes, children like it so much. ......

My baby listens to it every day before going to bed, and listens to it when I get up, and I have successfully been **, and now my mind is full of potatoes, hahaha.

Overall, Potato! Potato! is a very good picture book, not only warm and interesting, but also can make children fall in love with eating, increase knowledge at the same time, but also enrich children's perspectives.

Little popular science:

At first, the flowers of the potatoes were used as flower arrangements on the heads of the ladies of the court. But in the 11th and 12th centuries, when the best arable land was exhausted and the land could not provide enough food to support the population, famine broke out. Potatoes gradually appeared on the people's tables and became the people's life-saving food.

Potatoes are cheap, abundant, easy to obtain, and nutritious, so these characteristics form a great supplement and support to the original wheat-based structure. At the same time, along the Maritime Silk Road, potatoes reached China. Potatoes have come full circle in the world, and everywhere they go, they have played a very important role in the formation of various local countries, the stability of countries and the support of civilization.
