I enjoyed reading this book because it shows how books can connect people. This can be used in a classroom to show students what its like to be bonded by a book. This could also show students how people can be connected from all over the world.

The Red Book won a Caldecott Honor in 2005. This book is about a red book that two people find in opposite places. The books connects these two people even though they are so far. This is a wordless book but the illustrations portray a story of one book uniting two people.

Genre: Modern Fantasy
Award: Caldecott
The red book is a wordless picture book that leaves the story up for interpretation. It is about a little boy and little girl on two completely different sides of the world who find each other through the pictures of a red book they found. Since the book doesn‘t have any words it would be great for the Storytelling (S) teaching strategy. It would not be hard to apply UDL

LauraLeighn strategy 7.3 (Minimize threats and distractions)since the book has such beautiful and interesting images you can get the student's attention and keep it. ESOL strategy 21. (Record your lectures, presentations, or stories on audiotape, especially for new students who have very limited exposure to English) can be a great tool for ELLs. By providing an audiotape of the storytelling lesson, ELLs can go back later and flip through the book 4y
LauraLeighn while listening. Teaching With Books has some great recourse for this book including author interviews, book guides, and lessons. https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=11371 #ucflae3414SU20 4y
DrSpalding You have to have an account to view some of the resources. The site shows 13 resources that could be used with this book. I was checking to see if they offered the option of students writing their own story based on the pictures in this wordless picture book. 4y

Since the book has no words I will describe a part. When the boy takes off with the balloons he drops his red book and you can see how sad he is about it.

This book would be great for kindergarten. It is a very easy picture book for kids to read and use their imagination. Definitely a cute story for young kids to read.

This is a picture book. This book is a great book about a book. It is shown through pictures which is fun because you get to read the story through your own mind. The pictures are great for kids to look at. They show a young boy in class.

This book is about a girl who goes on an adventure to discover new possibilities and friends. It is told only through pictures, and even though the illustrations look simplistic, they have so much detail in them and are so visually pleasing.

If you‘re working with young children, I think a fun activity would be to have them draw where they would go or what they would do if they had the red book.

Caldecott honor book, 2004. Picture book about a boy who finds a red book in the snow. The book contains pictures of other kids across the world reading the same book. Pictures flow well and create a story line that is simple to understand.

A book about a book, the red book. The red book is a magical book that has no words, but words through the power of the pictures and illustrations. Finding the red book on the street, the little girl can see other worlds through the pages of other kids reading the red book. The book brings two friends together with a continuous journey. Award: Caldecott Honor; Published: 2094; Illustrator: Barbara Lehman

Caldecott honor book. This story if perfect for young children. Even children who cannot read yet will find this story enjoyable to read with others and on their own. It shows the connection of books to people and vise verse and I think that is an important thing to know.

The Red Book by Barbara Lehman, 2004. This is a story told entirely without words. The book within a book within a book story creates an intriguing story. The pictures tell the story and in the clearest way possible with no other context. The images are simple and blocked to create a comic book type story.

Published in 2004 and awarded the Caldecott in 2005, illustrations are absolutely crucial in this book! This wordless book allows you to create your own story to what you see. Following along, the use of color helps you to follow the red book into many different adventures and allows the reader to predict where it‘s going next! This book is powerful because without words it can still evoke an entire story in our minds.

When I think #redbooks, what comes to mind is The Red Book, a wonderful wordless picture book about the magic of reading. Our copy is locked up in the pod, so borrowing an image from Amazon. #17booklove @jess.how
