I think children would really enjoy this book because of its ability to be whatever story they want it to be. The lack of words enable the reader to decipher what they think is happening, and children would use their imagination to play out the boy‘s dream in their own way.
This wordless picture book tells the story of a young boys dream adventure through a life sized chess game. David Wiesner uses different illustration layouts to differentiate between different phases of the book. Any pages that have a white border on the edges are outside of the dream, while pages with illustrations that bleed off the edge are telling the story of the continuous dream.
Wiesner‘s line work on the trees, dragon, grass, birds, and so on set the setting for the book so we‘ll. He left no one guessing.
His detail in each page and picture was unbelievable. His line work and color gave the book great dimension.
Free Fall by David Wiesner published in 1988 captures a great story through only pictures. A little boy goes on a late night adventure flying across the sky.
It‘s a picture book that has a boy who is dreaming about the world and going to a castle and being a knight. There‘s a picture whenever he has a sword and a dragon is laying on the ground. There‘s farm animals one is a pig that he rides on.
Just a beautiful wordless children's book. The little boy falls asleep with the book across his chest. Each two-page spread illustrates another step on his fantastical journey through his imagination. Or his imagination nurtured by the book and his surroundings. I need to pick up Wiesner's other books. Thank you to @Gina for the recommendation!
