About this deal

Her opinions are her own and do not reflect those of EPL, SLJ, or any of the other acronyms you might be able to name. For the former, think Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland (1865), Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950) and Pullman’s Northern Lights (1995). Echo anchors her own MCU TV series this week, but she has languished for most of her 25yr comics history. Starting with the dedication page, look at the pictures to find the different objects created by each child.

Whether young or old, readers will be enchanted by the limitless possibilities that unfold within these pages. From the city with the waterways and locks to the boats in the sky to even the sensation of flying over unfamiliar cities and lands, at the very least this makes a darned good companion to “Avatar”, if not an outright introduction to it. I checked my local library and saw that they had the first two books available so I decided to check them out.I really enjoyed it the first time I read this magical story and once I rated it I moved on with my life. For my money, I think Journey stands up against not only the best picture books of the year, but the best books of the year as a whole. Pair the first of a brilliant trilogy with our Creative Writing Resources to record all of your students' ideas, dreams and wishes. The added bonus is that the absence of dialog means you can read the pair’s cooperation in whatever manner suits your own little one. I thought the central device owed a bit too much to Harold and the Purple Crayon, but other than that I thought the illustrations and story were excellent.

Maybe I’m justifying everything, but it seems to me that Becker was trying more than anything else to have a bad guy who was easy to spot (note the golden helmet) and that looked different from the residents of the water-based city. What is it like to have to leave everything behind and travel many miles to somewhere unfamiliar and strange?Sure, I recognize the brilliance in the simple writing and the art is a dream to the eye in its minimalism.
