Last week two surprising front-page reports spotlit a sad trend in parenting: the demise of the picture book. In the rush to early reading, it seems parents tout reading chapter books over picture books. This is a big mistake . Find out why.上周两个令人惊讶的头版悲观地报道父母对子女的教育趋势:是减少图画书。提前急于的文字阅读,似乎父母更希望孩子阅读文字书。这是很大的误区。找出原因In the second report, from Paris, a glorious retrospective of Monests work reminds us how artistic expression give from to our thinking. The rush to read chapter books should not deprive children of artistic pleasure, or of one of mankinds deepest ways of thinking and feeling.在第二份来自巴黎的报告,一幅一幅美丽的莫奈艺术画像提醒我们，图片艺术的表现力能启发我们的思维。急于读文字书不应剥夺属于孩子的艺术乐趣,和人类的最深的思维方式和灵感。I was shockd to read Julie Bosmans front page report in the New York Times, Picture Books ,Long a Staple（重要部分）,Lose Out In the Rush to Read. Is it true that parents of kindergarten first graders are pressuring their children to leave the picture book behind and move on to more text-heavy chapter books -all for the sake为了.利益 of strict严格的 standardized testing标准化考试（应试需要）?What has happened to imagination and feeling?
