Inside the cottage is band playing beautiful music. The boy and the fish are swept up in the music and tumble back to their park bench.
I was so excited to read the newest book by this great artist. It is a wordless picture book, but a picture is worth 1,000 words. I am sure children will retell the story in their own words, while looking the pictures. It would be fun to hear how different and how similar their stories would be. It might also be a fun project for writing to have students write the story in their own words, like a poem, like a rhyme and look for differences and similarities in their stories. What a cute book!
