Welcome to Litsy!

Over the Ocean by Taro Gomi does not give a publish date. This book is a great example of a picture book! All the colors and designs are so out there it just draws you in! I highly recommend this book!

“Maybe there are cities over the ocean. Full of tall buildings...”

I like this book because it gets the kids thinking. Hm what really could be over the ocean! Good slightly interactive book.

Over the Ocean by Taro Gomi is about a little girl who wonders and asks questions about what could be over the ocean. The publication date is unknown. She thinks about many different things that could be and imagines it.

“Are there farms over the ocean? Maybe there are big farms.“

I would say the book is appropriate for older ages simply because it makes you think about the world and what is beyond the edge of the ocean. I would use this book in classroom to start up the conversation over the question, “What do you think is beyond the ocean?“

Over the Ocean written by Taro Gomi. This book is about a child who is wondering what is beyond the edge of the ocean and comes up with a lot of different, unique ideas. The illustrations in this book are unique because all that's changing is the scenery above the ocean line and the illustrations change with the context.

Over the ocean shows the wonder and imagination of a child. It shows just how far the mind can stretch when looking over the ocean , and how wonderful the world is in their eyes.

“What kinds of animals are over the ocean? Are there some I‘ve never seen?”

The same basic illustration stayed the same but from page to page certain images where replaced with new ideas. I found the repetition endearing and intriguing when the images changed.

I think any age range could appreciate this book, even I could. It represent the curiosity of anyone and creates many possibilities as to what could be across the ocean.

“I wish I could go and see.”

I love the illustrations and how the bottom of the page remains the same drawing of the child standing in-front of the ocean. Every time you turn the page, there‘s a new idea the child came up with. Great job of capturing a child‘s imagination.

This book has amazing illustrations! It really shows how a child‘s imagination is endless.

Cute Japanese book about young girl imagining what lies on the other side of her ocean. Originally published in 1979, but just recently translated into English. Has a very retro feel. #childrenslit #picturebook ⭐️⭐️⭐️
