Summary:
This story is about a little boy who has big plans
and he wants the world to know he has big plans. The little boy, and a bird,
set out on a journey to insure that everyone knows what they have. On their
journey they go everywhere from the president to the moon!
Evaluation:
Overall I
would say this is of high quality text. The way the words are written in the
book is creative and imaginary. Some pages have huge words written in different
styles while other pages have simple writing at the bottom of the page. No
matter how the writing is on the page, it is eye-popping and will definitely
keep children involved in the story just by the text and illustrations.
The illustrations in this book are wonderful. They
are cartoonish of the real world setting. They are very detailed and definitely
capture exactly what the little boy is doing. The illustrations also take up
almost the entire page during the whole boy.
This action packed adventure book is wonderfully
decorated with illustrations that children will love, along with an
easy-to-follow storyline that is very child friendly.
Literary Elements:
Characters: Little boy and
the bird
Genre: Picture Book
Tone: Excitement, proud
Mini Lesson:
In the story they
never reveal what the child’s plans are; they just say he has big plans. Since
the book never said I would have students write about what they think the boy’s
big plans are.
Age: 5+
