图画书是儿童熟悉的媒体，对儿童的发展有着重要的影响。特别是，叙事图画书有助于儿童想象力的发展，并为他们一生丰富的文化生活提供基础。图画书中描绘了许多动物。儿童叙事图画书中的动物往往是拟人化的，动物的描写有时会混杂着真实的和拟人化的特征。本研究主要探讨绘本中动物在拟人化与非拟人化形态之间的转换。在591本图画书中，观察到1 930例转化。在人类角色的故事中，许多转换涉及猫和狗，以及从非拟人化动物到拟人化形式的变化。暂时转换的主要触发因素是人物的人类或动物行为和情感，而长期转换的主要原因是故事的结构和人物到不同世界或空间的运动。这些转变的背景与动物的社会形象和人与动物的互动密切相关。转换突出了动物和人类之间的界限，并向儿童传达了令人印象深刻的场景，这些场景应该刺激儿童的发展。绘本中有关儿童成长的描写，是动物绘本深受儿童喜爱的原因之一。
Picture books are familiar media for children and have a great influence on children's development. Particularly, narrative picture books contribute to the development of children's imagination and provide the basis of rich cultural life throughout their lives. There are many animals depicted in picture books. Animals in narrative picture books for children often appear anthropomorphized, and depictions of animals sometimes mix real and anthropomorphic characteristics. This study focused on conversions of animals in picture books between anthropomorphic and non-anthropomorphic forms. In 591 picture books, 1,930 cases of conversion were observed. In stories with human characters, many conversions involved cats and dogs and changes from non-anthropomorphic animals to anthropomorphic forms. The main triggers of temporary conversions were human or animal-like behaviors and emotions of the characters, while the main causes of long-term conversions were the structures of the stories and character movement to different worlds or into space. The backgrounds of the conversions were deeply related to the social image of animals and to human-animal interactions. Conversion highlights the boundaries between animals and humans and conveys impressive scenes to children which should stimulate child development. The depiction related to children's development in picture books would be one of the reasons why animal picture books are so popular among children.
