Author: Patricia MacLachlan
Why Selected: Award winner
Literary Merit: Simple story with not a lot to it. Easy to read. Very descriptive despite the simplicity.
Share: I would make this a class exercise and turn this story into an illustration book. The imagery is well done in the book and would make a good illustration book. So treat it like a manuscript and have this kids delete text that is no longer necessary after their pictures are drawn.
Appeal: Grades 1-3.
Awards: Newbery - 1986
