由范约翰创办的《小孩月报》,是我国最早的画报,它将当时的西方文明以生动明易的形式传输给中国儿童。由于与《小孩月报》同时期还存在着另外两份同名报刊,我国报史学界在以往的研究中对其间关系有所混淆,理清它们之间的关系,揭示该刊的刊物特色,有助于推动对报刊史的研究。 The “Children’s Monthly”, founded by Fan John, is the earliest pictorial in our country that transmitted the then western civilization to Chinese children in a vivid and easy manner.
