He decided to doodle a scene in which 方块武士 was standing in his field delighting in his saplings which he had pulled out from the ground in a bid to make them taller (being overly anxious for them to grow quickly). The simple shapes that make up the characters are quite endearing and can be wonderful drawing prompts for the young and old!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of each book there are prompts to delve deeper, to explain the meaning and origin from Classical Chinese texts. They even discuss similar idioms and have examples of 成语 relay which I think is super cool!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a separate day, my elder boy and I doodled 逗逗皇上 after reading one of the books.
