Twenty vignettes describe a boy's winter in Canada, on the prairie, during the 1930's. Each vignette is paired with a painting about the subject manner.
My boys really enjoyed it!
So many possibilities with this title!!---
Strategies: summarizing, main idea/detail, context clues, expanding vocab., visualizing
Pair with Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat
Great addition when studying history.
When this book was published it said Mr. Kurelek's paintings were displayed in Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and the London Art Museum in England.
What a great follow up to his books-to go to one of these museums and view his work!
*Highly recommend.
