This large picture book is truly educational for children. The clear introduction of local residences has sparked the idea in children to travel and experience the characteristics of these dwellings. The colors in the picture book are very true to life, making it look very approachable.

Taking the yurt as an example, the illustration not only depicts the yurt but also the life scene of the Mongolian people, including the horsehead fiddle, hada, ovoo, Naadam festival, horses, cattle, and sheep... After reading the picture book, children will also gain an understanding of the ethnic customs and cultural practices of the Mongolian people. This is an extended picture book design. What surprised me about this book is its interpretation of the details in the pictures. This shows that the illustration design has been thoughtful, with no redundant or ineffective information, and the text responds to every picture.
