Liken the wordless approach to a boy imagining going on a safari and doing the life sketches of the various creatures there. Could something the reader could be inspired to do in real life.
A beautifully illustrated wordless picture book about how drawing can transport you to different worlds.
I didn't read this wordless picture book so much as I experienced it. The mesmerizing pictures told the story effortlessly and beautifully, without words getting in the way. My son was also a huge fan and now the book lives in his bedroom, in his bed. I will probably never see it again. That says it all right there.
Beautiful. Has this book won big Awards for illustrations? It is quite powerful. Lots to explore by a reader that is willing to sit and think/notice.
