Features: "Little Kids Cinema" is another innovative new product launched by the Little Kids series books from Jilin Fine Arts Publishing House. It includes ten famous Chinese and foreign children's fairy tales, fables, and traditional virtue stories, such as The Crow and the Pitcher, Pulling Up the Radish, The Three Little Pigs, The Tortoise and the Hare, Little Rabbit, The Wolf is Coming, Mr. Donggo, Waiting for a Rabbit to Come Out of a Bush, Simao Hui Breaking the Jar, and Kong Rong Yielding the Pear. These stories have been passed down through generations and loved by young readers across generations. The reason lies in the fact that these traditional classics not only teach children the basic principles of being a good person but also embody the beautiful moral sentiments of the Chinese nation and even all of humanity.
For example, in The Crow and the Pitcher, the story describes how the crow, despite being extremely thirsty, finally finds a way to drink water, showing that wisdom often triumphs over strength. Pulling Up the Radish, a children's fairy tale popular in many countries, has a clear moral: "Many hands make light work" or "Unity is strength." In The Tortoise and the Hare, the rabbit, who is naturally good at running and jumping, far outpaces the turtle in speed. However, during the race, the rabbit falls asleep and loses to the turtle. The reason is that the rabbit's arrogance and laziness harm him. In Mr. Donggo, the scholar applies the principle of "universal love" to a wolf, only to suffer misfortune as a result. This teaches young readers that even in human relationships, such problems exist—people should genuinely love others but show no mercy to those like wolves. In Waiting for a Rabbit to Come Out of a Bush, the farmer treats a event as a common occurrence, mistaking it for a natural law. This shows that he is baseless and reckless. That's why he did the foolish thing of sitting under a tree every day waiting for a rabbit while neglecting his crops. Simao Hui Breaking the Jar vividly reflects Simao Hui's diligence from a young age, his loyalty to his friends, his ability to remain calm and composed in emergencies, and his intelligence and cleverness. Kong Rong Yielding the Pear praises Kong Rong's kindness and humility, even though he was young, for recognizing that he would suffer a loss but still chose to give the better pear to others.
