"Blue Chicken", "Camping Day" and "It Fell From the Sky"
Whimsey and humor took the stage this week.
Blue Chicken
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Deborah Freedman
An artist has been painting illustrations. The barn is next on the list when the artist takes a break. One of the characters, a chick decides to help and knocks over the blue paint. A recipe for disaster?
Camping Day
5 stars
Author: Patricia Lakin
Illustrator: Scott Nash
This text is simple, beginning reading level.
The crocodile family is bored and decides to go camping. They pack their things and head out into the wilderness.
These crocodiles are not seasoned campers. Little things happen, humorous things.
The illustrations are stylized, almost like decoupage. They make the story fun.
It Fell From the Sky
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: The Fan Brothers
A field of wild plants occupied by insects and other small creatures is going about living the day when an object drops down into the grass. No one knows what it is leading to discussions of what it could be and where it might have come from.
The spider decides to open an exhibit to display this object. By the end of the story, the story is a wordless, mild commentary about litter.
The illustrations are done in pencil giving them a soft look except for the fallen objects which are done in color. This is very effective in this story.
