One Boy Watching by Grant Snider - OPTIONAL

One Boy Watching by Grant Snider
. PICTURE BOOK. Chronicle, 2022. $18. 9781797210889 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

A young boy, living in the country, starts his daily, long journey on Bus #4. The ride is an adventure for the day dreaming boy as he sees deer, trees, other children as they travel through the country and town. At three o’clock, the boy starts to day dream again, wondering what he will see on his long journey back home. 

Snider’s illustrations, done with colored pencils and markers, so simple, but saturated with color. The illustrations compliment the text beautifully, bringing the story to life. Many children will be able to imagine what it feels like to ride the bus, whether on a field trip or the ride to and from school every day. One Boy Watching also offers some counting practice which would appeal to pre-school through first graders.
