Welcome to Litsy!

This series is just wonderful. This time our main character is letting his problem get the best of him and he can't stop worrying about it. Will he work through the problem or let it fester? Amazing illustrations throughout and a beautiful story.

Jasper Rabbit is behind in school, but then a purple crayon wants to help. It's great until the crayon starts acting weird. It's creepy! The crayon does not want to leave, and he wants to get rid of it as it's taking over everything. #ISpyBingoOct @TheAromaofBooks

I would use this book to inspire students to create art with water color, and teach them about the ways a paint brush can be used to create shapes and feelings. I would talk about the intentionality it takes to use water color paintings.

The illustrator uses shapes and lines to create different animals in the ocean. She uses the organization of shapes to create great sea of fish, creating a realistic, yet painting vibe. The colors add a calming feature to the book.

The picture book my friend rabbit, a Calecott winner, published in 2002 uses bold black lines, bright colors, and lots of space to show action and emotion. The characters often move across the page and the illustrations guide the eye, making the story fun and easy to follow.
