One of my amazing co-workers randomly made this necklace for me!
This book can be used in the classroom if you know there may be a loss because it does make it light-hearted and shows varying emotions but in the end, the children end up okay. Along with the overall message- as I talked about in the review the medium and use of colors keep it youthful.
pick“The Dead Bird“ was illustrated by Christian Robinson and it is understood that the medium used to illustrate the pictures allows to keep it very playful even though the overall message is about a dead bird. The use of what seems to be either paint or the use of oil pastels may give it that youthful feel.
“Then they cried because their singing was so beautiful and the ferns smelled so sweetly and the bird was dead.“
When introducing the life cycle to young children, I believe this would be a very fitting book. It shows the death of an animal in a lighthearted way and touches some social emotional learning qualities from how the children go about after the death of the bird. It would be good for grades kindergarten to 4th grade.
so-soThe illustrator uses color to create a very fun cartoony world to explain the story of the dead bird. The cartoony/sketchy artistry allows the author to tell a lighthearted and happy story about how a group of children react when finding a dead bird. The colors carry the reader throughout the reading experience. It is very child-like sketches, but fits extremely well.
#CryWolf I feel like Pierre is a modern take on this fable, and by far my favorite version of the story is done by Amanda Palmer early in her Dresden Dolls career https://youtu.be/aenwwEx1LcA?feature=shared

“Amos had a lot to do at the zoo, but he always made time to visit his good friends.”
I love reading this book because it‘s silly and shows true friendship throughout the book. The kids always love it because it‘s unrealistic as far as the animals go but has true friendship.
