I love the look on Trixie's daddy's face as he rolls up his sleeves. Vibrant colorful characters are layered over black and white photographs of Brooklyn, New York. I think the real genius is in the illustrations. the endpapers, the copyright page and the back cover all advance the plot. I also love how Willems uses every available space to tell his story. ![]() (Every child or adult I've shown this book to has known exactly what going boneless means). The writing and illustrations are funny, and both adults and children get the jokes. The pacing is excellent and moments of drama are inserted at just the right times. ![]() The sentence structure is fairly simple with only one sentence per page (a crucial element in a book for young children). ![]() First, it's realistic and easy to relate to (ask any parent who has lost their child's favorite stuffed animal). What makes this book so good? So many reasons. (Or maybe you have.) Mo Willems manages to turn this basic story into a riveting page turner that children can't wait to read again and again and again (and again). That's because you haven't read the book. Doesn't sound like amazing drama, does it? a little girl (Trixie) loses her stuffed bunny at the laundromat. Be prepared to read it aloud many many many times.Īh. Warning: This Caldecott Honor book may cause obsession among small children. ![]()
