The Child in the Can (Xiaoyilin International Award-Winning Children's Book)

"Let me finish!" Mrs. Bartolotti said, "Because I'm telling Conrad the truth! Adults lie to children all the time. What they're really saying is: 'Look at us! We're strong, we're smart, we're awesome...'"

Mrs. Bartolotti likes to mix and match bright colors (purple pants, yellow tops, blue nails, thick blush), lives a slovenly life, and likes to procrastinate in doing things... Despite this, she still tries her best to be a good mother. Mrs. Bartolotti's words in the article are simply sober and living clearly, such as 1 "If you don't know what to do, you have to listen to your heart so you can feel what you really need." 2 "If you always think about what other people will do," she continued, "and always act like they do, then you will end up being exactly like them, and it will be impossible to maintain your own characteristics." 3 "There are some things in the world that are far more important than others... One of them is not caring what other people say!" 4 "There are some things that are not fun," said Conrad, "but there are also things that are fun!" "That's how life is," said Mrs. Bartolotti. 5 Boys should protect girls, this is complete nonsense! What matters is that those who need protection are protected. " But other than that, I didn't get the childlike charm. The story is relatively short, and it also shows that if a really good kid doesn't know how to deal with things and socialize, he can easily get stuck. When there are black swans around, the only white swan is the one who is guilty... (I don't recommend reading it, it is less rewarding and a bit disappointing, but there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Friends who are interested can take a look. Only when the pony crosses the river by itself can you know the depth [learned])

The plot of this book is so interesting! Conrad in the story is a perfect child, but his perfection makes him ostracized in school. I especially like the scenes where he gets along with his family. The warmth and affection are touching. Moreover, the setting of artificial children in the book is also very novel, which made me think about a lot of issues about human nature and family. This is a very in-depth children's book, I recommend it to you!

Hey, recommend! It's easy to read and very vividly written! It is interesting and thought-provoking at the same time. Mrs. Bartolotti, who others think is definitely not a good mother, is a very good mother in Conrad's eyes, because she never lets Conrad be a standard good boy and just wants him to be happy. This is a truly good mother who allows her children to grow up freely while being a source of silent support and encouragement.

Such a cute child, and a very upright mother [laughs] This book is so well written, it is very good for a high school sophomore😊

Adults always want us to be "perfect" children, but a child's true feelings are not within their consideration.

It satirizes the dogma of parents. It is not a good thing to restrain children (they will be captured by bad guys). The ending is very happy.
