The Fate of Fausto: A Painted Fable by Oliver Jeffers

3.0

An interesting picture book about a man who believes he owns everything so goes around feeling things they belong to him until they accept they do. The book could be linked to discussions about power and whether it is fair for the man to own all the other things. When he tries to say the sea is his he ends up drowning in it which links to the message of understanding and taking what is not yours which the book tries to get across. Some of the pages only have a few words of text while others show the items the man is claiming. A nice book to explore in KS2, thinking about the mans actions and whether they are right or wrong.
