I cannot stop raving about this book! It was shown to me by a classmate in one of my classes and the ways to use and teach this book are endless! The story can be straightforward, wacky, wonky, or downright crazy. I love wordless picture books for the immense joy that they offer for people of almost all ages.
Since this picture has no words, the pictures and illustrations must portray all 1000 of them. The illustrations are phenomenal. They are bright and beautiful, some of them have such small details that I did not notice them even after staring at the page countless times. It is a truly beautiful story and the pictures are heartwarming and unbelievable.
I had to go buy a copy for my classroom. I cannot wait to teach this story.
