Welcome to Litsy!

#WishesAndBlessings Day 2: #Snow for an igloo - book still not on Litsy‘s database - so I just selected another title illustrated by Yayo.

Colorful illustrations and humorous plays on words creatively convey the experience of riding a ferris wheel. At first, I thought it was too surreal for my taste but I have grown to appreciate what the author is trying to do after reading it a few more times. Language arts were covered in Julian's attempts to use words to describe complex, sometimes confusing pictures throughout.

“Mama, we did it! Mama, we flew!” “Now and forever a part of the night sky.”

I love this book for a unit on poetry in a younger classroom. It would be fun for children to imagine themselves doing something that they have always wanted to do and write a poem about it

This book had amazingly beautiful images and exciting plays on sound to talk about how to persist and try your best to achieve your goals. A lovely poetry book for children that will capture their attention
