This cau\u00adtion\u00adary pic\u00adture book is based on a fable that has been wide\u00adly cir\u00adcu\u00adlat\u00aded online in recent years, \u201cHow Did the Cow Die?\u201d There\u2019s also a ver\u00adsion fea\u00adtur\u00ading a don\u00adkey. The sto\u00adry\u00adline is large\u00adly the same: what begins as a casu\u00adal com\u00adplaint from a cow (or don\u00adkey) is then embell\u00adished by word of mouth among the oth\u00ader farm ani\u00admals, even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly becom\u00ading a delib\u00ader\u00adate betray\u00adal when it reach\u00ades the ears of the own\u00ader, the farmer, and in the orig\u00adi\u00adnal sto\u00adry, leads to fatal con\u00adse\u00adquences! The moral of this fable is often sum\u00adma\u00adrized in the work\u00adplace as \u201cbe cau\u00adtious in what you say and do,\u201d such as avoid\u00ading com\u00adplaints eas\u00adi\u00adly. More broad\u00adly, it serves as a reminder not to believe rumors. In the cur\u00adrent pan\u00addem\u00adic, when rumors are ram\u00adpant, such sto\u00adries seem even more rel\u00ade\u00advant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How\u00adev\u00ader, the cre\u00adation of the pic\u00adture book goes beyond sim\u00adply recre\u00adat\u00ading the scenes of the orig\u00adi\u00adnal sto\u00adry. Instead, it presents the process of rumor spread in a very intu\u00aditive way, attempt\u00ading to pro\u00advide com\u00adpar\u00ada\u00adtive solu\u00adtions in reverse. There\u00adfore, in terms of visu\u00adal expres\u00adsion, the nar\u00adra\u00adtive is clev\u00ader\u00adly pre\u00adsent\u00aded with images that reflect each oth\u00ader from top to bot\u00adtom, which nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly presents the effect of sto\u00adry rever\u00adsal. It also suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly com\u00adpares the cor\u00adre\u00adspond\u00ading process\u00ades of \u201cspread\u00ading rumors\u201d and \u201cdebunk\u00ading rumors\u201d, mak\u00ading the rumor trans\u00admis\u00adsion mech\u00ada\u00adnism eas\u00adi\u00ader to iden\u00adti\u00adfy. There\u00adfore, when read\u00ading this book, read\u00aders can not only read to the end and then reverse it to read back to the begin\u00adning, but also com\u00adpare the freeze frames of each rumor. Read\u00aders will find that in each rumor, the mes\u00adsen\u00adger tends to exag\u00adger\u00adate the neg\u00ada\u00adtive aspects of the pre\u00advi\u00adous infor\u00adma\u00adtion and is more will\u00ading to add pure\u00adly per\u00adson\u00adal asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the illus\u00adtra\u00adtions in this book are pre\u00adsent\u00aded in sil\u00adhou\u00adette, the char\u00adac\u00adters in the sto\u00adry remain vivid and life\u00adlike, espe\u00adcial\u00adly the cow, the pro\u00adtag\u00ado\u00adnist, whose expres\u00adsions are touch\u00ading. I believe young read\u00aders will love to join this visu\u00adal\u00adly cre\u00adative \u201ctele\u00adphone game.\u201d By read\u00ading in cir\u00adcles and com\u00adpar\u00ading the top, bot\u00adtom, and front, back, they will expe\u00adri\u00adence the spread of the \u201ccow\u201d rumor. Back in real life, they may even become the wise ones who put an end to the rumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
