Good book to "teach" how to read wordless books! Good story prompts for each page in the little girl's story of losing the words to her book.

Wow, the illustrations to this book were just magical, beautiful, stunning! The girl and her story she thought up were wonderful, I would have loved to hear more of her stories. :D
I would recommend this one.

Ich war leider ein wenig enttäuscht von dem Buch. Die Illustrationen haben viel versprochen, doch der Schriftteil war hauptsächlich verwirrend und unbeständig. Die Idee und die Prämisse finde ich sehr schön, doch ging sie ein wenig verloren durch die konfuse Erzählweise.

This is a picture book like no other. It is a love story to words and teachers and imagination and creative writing and childhood and fables. Pamela Zagarenski soars in her writing and her illustrations. She writes lyrically and her prose is just so poetic. Her mixed media pieces of art are just so beautiful and full of what is in a child’s imagination. I also think this is a must get for the classroom because it introduces the idea of adding our own words to wordless picture books.

GORGEOUS illustrations. A young reader borrows a book from her teacher but loses the words on the way home. Illustrations are a play on Aesop's fables with story starters on each page. Great as a writing tool during a fable unit!
