“Book is the best friend, have no demand, no complain”
― Chicken Bob by Avi Salmon
― Chicken Bob by Avi Salmon
“Mitsumasa Anno : A child's mind, unlike an adult's, can absorb anything and accept any number of new ideas. For this reason, it is not always good to teach only "correct" ideas to children. Scientific understanding is important, but imagination should also be encouraged. When some adults see a rainbow, they think they must explain the color spectrum to a child. The sense of wonder at such things should come first.
Recently, I spoke to a group of schoolchildren in Sydney, Australia. I told them that I had been afraid to come "down under" to Sydney lest I fall off the earth on my way. They laughed and then explained to me that "the world is round but there are also some flat places where it is safe." These children did not yet know the difference between imagination and reality. It is important to let them imagine things in their own way for a while before teaching them differently.”
