Features: Morality originates from life, and moral education must return to life. Based on this philosophy, the authors of this book attempt to change the format of general reading materials. Set against the backdrop of the real lives of today's children, they start from small details, capturing everyday scenes of children at home, in school, and in the community, in a comic strip-like form. They propose basic etiquette for interacting with others, fundamental behavior norms in public places such as traveling, observing, shopping, dining, walking, and riding, as well as themes like the sense of responsibility toward others and society. Each theme explores the right and wrong in children's real lives from different perspectives and levels. Through the cartoon character "Mysterious Doll," young readers are guided into familiar life to observe, experience, and think, allowing them to grasp the essence of life and the principles of being a person, and to proactively explore and autonomously construct correct moral awareness and behavior. "The Grand Exam" encourages children to think further and practice more about the issues in their lives. Through playful games, stories, and scenarios, the book provides a platform for moral choice, judgment, and practice, helping children establish broader connections with the real world and today's society. Each theme includes one or two concise and philosophical proverbs or sayings, which serve as mottos to inspire young readers to self-discipline, reflection, and to consciously become qualified citizens. The above writing intentions are successfully reflected in the content and layout of the book. Therefore, it can serve as a good teacher and friend for primary school students, a guide for daily life, and also as a teaching aid for parents to educate their children and interact with them. It is also an excellent reference book for teachers.
