Human growth, from lying to sitting, from climbing to walking, is the process of human beings constantly exploring the world. No matter from the macroscopic development of human civilization and science and technology, or from the microscopic process of a person's growth, it is a process of continuous learning and continuous exploration of the world. This book is a picture book that encourages children to move forward bravely.

The little crab used to live in a shallow water pit with the big crab. They are going to the seaside together. The little crab excitedly followed the big crab over the mountain, across the river and across the road. Along the way, the little crab was full of enthusiasm and pride. However, when they came to the seaside, facing the huge waves, the little crab was a little scared. "Maybe we'd better not go to the seaside." When the little crab first saw the sea, it can be said that when the big waves hit again and again, the little crab wanted to give up again and again. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Encouraged by the big crab, the little crab came to the beautiful underwater world, made new friends and enjoyed a rich meal. More importantly, in his mind, he can go anywhere and overcome any difficulties.

In the process of exploring the unknown world, the excitement of the little crab from the beginning, the confusion when encountering difficulties, and the joy when finally winning are very similar to our daily adventures. We have yearning and excitement for the unknown world and field. We don't know what difficulties we may encounter in our exploration, but we know our desired goals and future. In the process of our exploration, we may encounter some obstacles, some are predictable, some are unpredictable, some are sudden, some are unfathomable, and inner fear and retreat are inevitable. At this time, what is most needed is the big crab. The big crab here may be the little crab's father or the little crab's teacher. More importantly, the big crab must have more experience and ability than the little crab, and he plays an important role in the whole process. Encourage, accompany, take the lead, encourage the little crab when he flinches, and remind him to go home when he is excited. This is what we need most around us, and this role is usually the father in life. Children accompanied by their fathers can rely on them to complete one adventure after another, and they can start one different journey with their fathers. No matter whether your environment is good or bad, you can't stop exploring.

When the story is over, let's talk about pictures. Chris houghton's pictures are rich in color and unique in creativity. Horton is engaged in freelance illustration and design creation. In his works, he depicts the image of the little crab with quasi-geometric figures, and vividly shows the mood, excitement, panic, fear and happiness of the little crab through meticulous description. The color of the sea is light blue, the background of the sky is blue-green, and the underwater world is gorgeous red, yellow, purple and orange, depicting a beautiful underwater world. Simple graphics tell a complicated story, which is the charm of picture books.
