This week I have read 2 picture books.
Title: Dust
Author: Colin Thompson
This picture book is about famine. It uses short powerful sentences to deliver its’ message. The use of minimal texts allows room for the reader to make connections to what they know about the issue and comparisons to their own life. This contemplation is aided by the illustrations which are each a response to the text by a different artist. This book would help introduce young readers to the issues of the 3rd world.
Title: Fearless
Author: Colin Thompson
This book is a comical look at identity. The writing is conversational and easy to read, it gives information about the characters’ personalities and examples to support the information. It gives insight into the character Fearless. There is no dialogue, but the text is structured in an interesting way and is very descriptive.
