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:
— Originality in Material. In terms of material, Ye Jun insists on the concept of "new," striving to explore fresh themes and avoiding clichés. Even subjects that others have written about can appear in his works with a new perspective for young readers.
— Clever Conception. Ye Jun places great importance 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, they often create an extraordinary and enchanting fairy tale world.
— Magical Imagination. Ye Jun's fairy tales excel in their fantastical elements.
— 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 bringing gentle smiles, while others provoke hearty laughter.
— Beautiful Language. The language in Ye Jun's fairy tales is smooth and elegant, another key feature. It is not only concise, vivid, clear, and colloquial but also humorous, dynamic, and highly musical. Especially in the dialogues, the characters' speech is innocent, playful, and personalized, 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 is the "Early Childhood Volume"—comprising The Moon Bird and The Candy House, both short in length, suitable for parents to read to their children or for young preschool and lower elementary students to enjoy. The other is the "Children's Volume"—comprising The Green Magic Shoes and The Ice Lake Monster, both longer in length, designed for upper elementary 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 passion for reading and the habit of reading at an early age, under the influence of family love, will benefit them throughout their lives. Children's reading plays a vital role in every stage of their growth. Publishing such a carefully selected fairy tale series is indeed a commendable public welfare initiative.
