Journey

Product Information

This may be a children's book, but I can see it having much broader appeal than that. It seems to be popular among adults as well, and I totally understand why. It's fun, it's cute, it's engaging, and it's skillfully done. It's one of the best picture books I've read! For example: what would happen if this object…grew to be enormous? …had magic powers? …wanted a friend? …came to life? …belonged to somebody else (the queen, a lion, a visitor from outer space)? For traditional oral storytellers the structure of a story is a framework that must be kept intact, rather like a set of bones. Individual retellings are marked out by added details and embellishments.

Follow a girl on an elaborate flight of fancy in a wondrously illustrated, wordless picture book about self-determination — and unexpected friendship. Bring a red rug into school (the sort you can roll up and carry under one arm) and use it for story sharing in small groups with an adult helper (perhaps in secret locations around the school). Invite children to sit on the rug and talk about the special places they would like to go. As part of our transition work with HSMS, all the First schools will be looking at this text. Next term (if all goes to plan), you will be studying the follow-up to this text (The Quest). It is lovely for the Y5 teachers to see what you are capable of as writers, illustrators and designers: and the work you do this term will be followed up by your new teacher, next year. LOVE that.

So reading his bio at the end didn't surprise me at all. This book really is his journey.

Why (not)? Share your thoughts with others and vote on what you think should happen next. How many forms of transport are used during this story?

Hand grips She continues to watch the bird, and is startled when it is suddenly captured in a big net! Bird in a cage (Eagle pose) I cannot begin to guess how many times my children and I have read this book. I still marvel at the fact that this is a debut! It is a near-perfect depiction of a child's imagination, complete with a magic bird, secret doors, castles, what can only be described as flying machines and evil enemies in a fantastical world of adventure. This wordless tale stars a brave little girl in a story that could be a tad ambiguous...meaning my children had many different interpretations of what the action was all about at each of our many perusals.

In this next idea, pupils can build their SPaG understanding by creating sentences exploring what happens in the story.
