Features: Based on my experience of reading Ye Jun's fairy tales, his works leave readers with unforgettable and beautiful impressions. I believe there are at least five distinctive features in his creations:
— Originality in Material. In terms of material, Ye Jun insists on the concept of "new," striving to explore fresh themes and avoid repetition. Even subjects that others have written about can appear in his works with a completely 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 are rooted in life but are not confined to it. With the author's creativity and refined artistic skills, he often innovates in unexpected ways, constructing a captivating fairy-tale world.
— Fantasy. 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 are filled with humor. The works collected in Ye Jun's fairy-tale series are rich in childlike charm, some bringing gentle smiles, while others can make children laugh heartily.
— Beautiful Language. The language in Ye Jun's fairy tales is fluent 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, naive, and personalized, exuding a strong sense of beauty. 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," consisting of The Moon Bird and The Candy House, both of which are shorter in length—suitable for parents to read to their children, as well as for preschoolers and early elementary students to read and enjoy. The other is the "Children's Volume," comprising The Green Magic Shoes and The Ice Lake Monster, both longer in length and suitable for elementary students to read. This series provides excellent evening reading material for parent-child bonding.
Parents are the best teachers. Encouraging children who love listening to stories to develop a love for reading at an early age, under the influence of family affection, 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 cause.
