ALRIGHT...What's the big idea? The first book my master pulls out of the box is a picture book. Now I looove picture books as much as the next wiener dog don't get me wrong, but this picture book had NO WORDS! That's right, a wordless picture book. Well, since I wasn't going to be read to from this book, I had to push my nose in and take a look for myself.The pages are very colorful and leave a lot to the imagination. The story is about a sheep who dyes and shaves her wool to make a very special gift for a very special friend.
Nothing much to this book. I could hear the teacher wheels spinning inside my owner's head as he "read" through the book a second time. I can picture the students in his classroom using the pictures to make predictions and inferences. The class could also write their own story to each of the pictures. That could be fun.
This book is definitely intended for younger audiences. Even as young as 2-3 years of age. Now for my floppy eared biscuit rating:
I gave it three because of the potential it could pose in the classroom. Could lead to a lot of creativity and imagination from students.
Woof. I'll sniff ya later.
