A Caldecott Honor book-2015
A young boy visits his grandmother in the city for the first time. He is quite uncertain about this new environment. Nana senses his apprehension and cleverly creates a fancy red cape for him to wear in the city.
As he wears his new cape, he views the city with new eyes.
Strategies: compare/contrast (contrast-how the boy felt about the city in the beginning vs. the end OR another idea-contrast how the boy and nana's views of the city are different), retelling/story elements, inferring
I love how the illustrations reflect the boy's opinion of the city!
*Highly recommend.
