В Петербурге снова снег, и мы так и...

It is snowing again in St. Petersburg, and we read it one at a time, either Winter, or Spring Book. In the literal and figurative sense ???? ❄ ????

Did you know that speech therapists are used by speech therapists in classes with adults to restore speech after injuries and strokes? .. Before Andrei’s birth, I didn’t even know what wimmelbuch is! And this is the German word "Wimmelbuch", from the verb wimmeln ("teem", "crowd"). In such picture books there are no words at all, but only a lot of objects, parts, characters. Each hero is busy with something, and many stories are intertwined, the plot develops from U-turn to U-turn.
⠀
The most popular wimmelbukhs are those created by the German artist Rotraut Susanne Berner. This is the series "Town", which appeared in Russia thanks to the publishing house Scooter.
⠀
Wimmelbuch is much more than just a book to review. An incredible number of situations that occur literally on every inch of the book is a huge field for discussions with a child. Depending on age, it is convenient to discuss various things through these books - completely different, but very vital. Many scold these books just for the presence of such details as, for example, smoking people ????????????, but they are also on the street, why not discuss this through a book? The kid crying on the platform and his frightened mother with a searching look somewhere in the other direction - why not talk about security? A young man in a wheelchair, a nude woman depicted in a picture in an art gallery, a car accident - through all these pictures you can talk about so much important with an older child! With a younger child, you can endlessly look at and learn fruit, vegetables, colors, construction equipment, animals together, speak simpler situations (uncle fell, aunt runs after the bus, the girl swings on a swing, the boy rides a bicycle, etc.).
⠀
Such books train mindfulness, memory, develop horizons, expand vocabulary and contribute to the development of speech. I use these books also in my classes in Japanese, with their help you can explain and train both grammar and conversational. ?????????????
⠀
And of course, these books encourage you to write stories and fantasize. Now I’m asking Andrei “Who is this?” Where is he going? What will he do? And why do you think he is sad / funny / laughing? ”Etc. And at 2.2, he composes and invents on the fly with pleasure that the cat went to look for the mouse, and where the mouse hid in the birdhouse, and where the girl goes on a scooter with a croissant. (And the mouse and the croissant are not drawn there ????)
⠀
Adults are also not bored with these books, there really is a huge amount of detail, each time you can discover something new, suddenly understand the relationship of seemingly unrelated characters, etc.

And the general atmosphere of the books is somehow overwhelmingly friendly, you look at all these pictures from the life of one town, observe their daily affairs, and somehow it becomes so calm and peaceful! I think this mood is also transmitted to the child ?????????????????
