Award Winner (Caldecott)
Absolutely Gorgeous! Jerry Pinkney tells the classic story of The Lion and The Mouse using only beautifully illustrated pictures. Each full page illustration is a watercolor image of the jungle brought to life. I felt as if I was actually in the jungle with the animals. This wordless book would be a great tool to use for a predicting lesson with students. By studying each illustration closely, students should be able to interpret the animals’ emotions and predict what each animal is thinking or what actions they will take. Students could also work in small groups to write their own story and/or dialogue to accompany the illustrations. The possibilities are endless. I would definitely recommend this beautiful picture book to readers of all levels.
