Features: Choosing books for children requires (heartfelt effort). Children's minds are like green fields, needing careful cultivation. Children's minds are blank papers, but they will eventually be filled with the entire world. Therefore, children's reading materials need to be high-quality, and only high-quality ones. The National Geographic Society, with a century of exploration and discovery, has frozen countless classics. This series, "National Geographic Student Themed Reading Training Series," uses images from National Geographic as resources, targeting readers at the primary and secondary school levels. It compiles the vast world into beautiful picture essays for young readers. Alongside children worldwide, they go beyond visual experience, gaining not only knowledge but also an appreciation for beauty. This series has a broad perspective like an encyclopedia, covering everything from the vast East African savannah to the deep American Grand Canyon, from the brilliant birthstone to the winding caves, from the clever Labrador retriever to the magical honey-making ants, from dangerous deep-sea diving to bravely climbing Mount Everest. In a specific book within the series, it adopts a themed reading format, guiding readers into various wonderful worlds and experiencing brand-new adventures. The selection of themes is highly thoughtful, using small stories as starting points and interweaving knowledge from mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, nature, and history. Young readers, while reading leisurely, will unknowingly immerse themselves in the joy of learning. This is an inspirational reading approach, not aimed at overwhelming readers with vast amounts of information, but rather at uncovering their interests and subtly cultivating cultural literacy. After finishing a book, even if only one exciting point is found, it is a success for the reader, because at least they know what they enjoy. Overall, this series includes a wealth of scientific knowledge, from cutting-edge science to everyday science, as well as many natural history-oriented topics, alongside a significant amount of humanities knowledge, from history to the present. Moreover, one outstanding feature of this series is its ability to seamlessly integrate scientific and humanities knowledge while maintaining a fun and engaging tone. Beyond inspiration, the series also emphasizes interaction. Before each theme, there is a "Reading Objective," which acts as a warm-up, gradually guiding readers into the reading state. After the theme, there is an "Activity Space" to help readers assess their reading outcomes. Readers can also create works related to the theme based on the research activity guidelines provided in the series. At the same time, students, parents, and teachers can engage in close interaction. They can act as audience members, (appreciating) the readers' works, or as judges, giving readers scores. Reading and thinking in this way is clearly an effective and reasonable learning method. This is a globally-oriented children's book series that cares about the world. Children growing up in this global village are part of the world, and they should also have the right to understand it. And this series opens a window connecting to the world.
