Simple text where the illustrations tell the meat of the story. The reader needs to pay attention to the illustrations to fully appreciate all the layers of the book.
The ending will cause a lot of discussions about what the author/illustrator are trying to communicate.
Some adults read this book and "did not get it"-it is not a neat, typical story. I did not like the ending at first but as I reread it, I appreciate how it makes the reader think and analyze!
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: inferring, check for understanding, asking questions
Real Reading = thinking!
