    The book, Leo the Extraordinarily Ordinary Lizard, taught the students whom I read to about six animals who make the Santa Rosa Plateau home. Secondly, in the last pages of the book it educates the reader about the animals and plants to see while hiking, or biking on a school function, or for pleasure with friends and family. As I was reading to the kids, it felt like I was taking them to a completely different world, where they were observing animals talking and interacting other animals on a normal day in their natural habitat. It almost gave the illusion as to help others in need , and how to keep the Santa Rosa Plateau thriving.…

    Molly Bang Paper When thinking of this assignment, I immediately knew which book I was going to choose. I felt that choosing a favorite book from my childhood could be a fun way to see the differences in how I viewed it then, and how I might view it today. As a child, I was in love with Mercer Mayer’s “Little Critter” books (and still am today). I decided not to go searching for an easy or popular book, rather I wanted to take one I know and love and see if/how Molly Bang’s principles were applied.…

    Have you ever read a Dr. Seuss book? You would automatically think that all of his books are childish and have no main purpose to them, right? Well, you may have not known this, but even if every single one of Theodor Geisel’s books may be meant for kids, deeply hidden in the childish text is a meaningful message. Seuss inscripts a deep message into his books because he wants to express his feelings during a specific part of his life in the form of children’s literature. Two of his books, entitled The Lorax and The Sneetches, published on August 12th, 1971, and August 28th, 1961, respectively.…

    The Two Bite Club, written by Jan Adams and Annie Lunsford, explores the concept of childhood nutrition through the story of Will and Anna trying new foods from each food group. The story develops through thirty nine pages filled with colorful illustrations of the different foods they find all throughout their house. The font used in the story book resembles that of an adult’s handwriting and the first letter of the first word on each page is emphasized in a large, purple, and bold font. This easily draws the attention of a preschooler as one is reading and flipping through the pages. The language spoken by Will and the mother is complex and detailed while Anna speaks with short and simple sentences, similar to other preschoolers.…

The patterns and images that show up on her skin do not represent what she is feeling on the inside, but instead, she is changing based on what other people are telling her she should be. The illustrations and text of this book interact in order to fill in the gaps for the reader. The pictures enhance what is being said in the book.
