picture book-In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming (1999)-Fleming creates her artwork by mixing paper pulp with colored pigments, then layering it to form images. This gives the illustrations a textured, tactile quality. She uses simple and clear shapes.
This picture book published in 1991 has a bold use of color, soft textures and simple shapes inviting young readers into a vibrant insect world. This pairs rhythmic text with rich visuals to spark curiosity and delight in natures small wonders.
In the Tall, Tall Grass can be used in preschool and early elementary classrooms to explore nature, insects, and observation skills. You can read aloud while pointing out details in the illustrations, have students identify insects and plants, and create related art or science activities.
I think this is an awesome picture book for lower elementary students. I think children would love the bright, abstract drawings and bright colors.
