The Big Head Shrimp: A story about responsibility
Tina (天霞) has a beautiful name, but everyone calls her "Big Head Shrimp" (大頭蝦) because she doesn't know how to take good care of the stationery she uses for school, or the clothes she wears, and loses stuff often, creating quite the headache for her mom.
In order to help Tina create some good habits, her dad hatched a plan! He invited two "urtle "teachers" for Tina, hoping that the little turtles could help slowly cultivate Tina's sense of responsibility. Will this method work?
Author 何巧嬋 has many years of experience in education, and deeply understands the developmentally psyche of developing readers. Her stories are specifically designed for elementary school students: written simple and easy-to-read text, the stories often revolve around the lives of elementary-aged readers, with characters and plot lines that feel realistic, relatable, and engaging.
With a high proportion of text and illustrations, this series can act as a bridge between elementary and junior high school level reading to help them gradually establish reading habits.
There is a bonus section in the end where the author shares ideas and anecdotes with parents and teachers on how we can cultivate positive traits and develop executive functioning skill in children.
