It is an excellent reading material for children aged 5-10, focusing on cultivating their interest and ability in reading. This is a newly created picture book series crafted by renowned authors, with nine touching, humorous, and entertaining stories specially tailored by nine famous writers including Jin Bo, Cao Wenxuan, Qin Wenjun, Zhang Lujie, Chen Danyan, and Gao Hongbo. Nine painters hand-draw illustrations for each book, and nine children actively participate as readers. The series is divided into three tiers based on readers' cognitive abilities and age: first, helping children transition from kindergarten to primary school reading; second, cultivating children's literary appreciation skills; and third, enhancing their reading aesthetic abilities, providing necessary supplementary teaching for literary appreciation and writing. The saying "to fight with an egg against a stone" has always confirmed that when facing a strong opponent, the weaker side is usually vulnerable. However, Sleeping Rabbit by the Python shows us a magical, touching, and thrilling story. A lowly-eared snow rabbit, considered a delicacy for the rare black python, is thrown into the python's den to be its meal. She is about to become the python's breakfast. But this ordinary-eared mother rabbit doesn't sit idly by like the others before her; she chooses to fight against fate, choosing a thrilling battle to the death. What gives her such extraordinary courage and strength, enabling her to overcome her timid nature, transcend the limits of her species, and engage in a life-or-death struggle with the python until she creates a miracle? It is all because of motherly love—the most ordinary yet greatest love in the world. Look, this mother rabbit, carrying her babies, thinks of nothing but digging a hole in the hard soil for them to be born under the immense pressure of death looming at any moment. After her babies are born, to protect these little lives, she bravely attacks the fierce black python. In the end, the mother rabbit saves her children with her courage and wisdom, and also saves herself.
