1. When did I read the first picture story book?

I read the first picture story book when I was eight years old. That was a summer vacation. I stayed at home with my dad. I found out some old books from the top of the bookshelf. I asked my dad what those old books were. My dad told me they were picture story books. I didn’t know those books. My dad read them when he was a child. I asked my dad to take some books from the bookshelf. Then, I began to read them carefully. They are very interesting. I spent the whole day reading those picture story books and I enjoyed reading them very much. Examiner, which one do you like better, reading books or surfing the Internet?

2. What is the history of picture story books?

Picture story books have a long history. You know, I like reading picture story books very much. So, I surfed the Internet and looked for the history of picture story books. I found some useful information about picture story book on the Internet. Picture story book is a comic-strip type of book for children. It is a kind of Chinese traditional art form. The earliest picture story book was found in Mawangdui Han Tombs in Changsha Hunan province. It became popular in Shanghai at the start of the 20th century. But computer changed people’s reading habit. Picture story book became less and less popular at the end of the 20th century. Now, people like reading on line better than reading real books. Examiner, which one do you like better, reading on line or reading real books?

I like the pictures of the picture story books best, because my dad said that the pictures were painted by hand. I like painting very much. I found the pictures in those books were very beautiful, but most of the pictures were black and white. I was attracted by those delicate pictures. But nowadays, pictures in the comic books are painted with computer. I don’t like reading nowadays’ comic books. I like reading the old picture story books better
