Features: Based on my reading experience of Ye Jun's fairy tales, his works leave readers with unforgettable and beautiful impressions. I believe there are at least five distinctive features:
— Fresh Material: In terms of material, Ye Jun insists on the word "fresh," striving to explore new themes and avoid repetition. Even subjects that others have written about can appear in his works with a new perspective for young readers.
— Ingenious Conception: Ye Jun places great emphasis on the conception of fairy tales, considering it the essence of artistic life. His fairy tales stem from life but are not confined to it. With the author's creativity and refined artistic skills, he innovates and constructs a captivating fairy tale world.
— Fantastical Elements: Ye Jun's fairy tales excel in their fantasy.
— Rich Interest: Ye Jun's fairy tales are close to children's lives, deeply understanding their psychology, and filled with humor. The works collected in Ye Jun's fairy tale series are rich in childlike charm. Some bring gentle smiles, while others can make children laugh heartily.
— Beautiful Language: The language in Ye Jun's fairy tales is smooth and elegant, another key feature. It is concise, vivid, clear, and colloquial, yet also humorous, dynamic, and musically resonant. Especially in the dialogues, the characters are innocent, naive, and highly individualized, exuding strong aesthetic appeal. In the "Good Kids Goodnight Stories" series, Ye Jun's new fairy tales are divided into two volumes based on the target audience. One volume is the "Early Childhood Edition"—comprising The Moon Bird and The Candy House, with shorter (length), suitable for parents to read to their children or for young preschoolers and lower elementary students to enjoy. The other volume is the "Children's Edition"—comprising The Green Magic Shoes and The Ice Lake Monster, with longer (length), designed for elementary school students to read. This series provides excellent evening reading material for parent-child bonding.
Parents are the best teachers. Encouraging children who love stories to develop a reading interest and habit at an early age, under the influence of family love, will benefit them throughout their lives. Children's reading plays a vital role in all stages of their growth. Publishing such a carefully selected fairy tale series is indeed a commendable public welfare initiative.
