As a grammar and punctuation nerd, I am excited to have the kids see that such things can be FUN. And Room 2 had some incredible observations about the artwork. Some was negative, including S.C.'s skepticism about "a bunch of smiley faces" being eligible for an illustration award. However, J.P. countered that Exclamation Mark had a sad face until he discovered his talents midway through. What do you think? As C.Y. can attest, this book is available at the Cranston Public Library to take home and discuss.

Super bold artwork shows how a boy's imagination works overtime as he begs his older sister to read him a story. Cool perspectives and visual treats (like the T I G E R cascading into his bowl of alphabet treats as she serves him lunch) make for a striking book. Opinions were divided between those who liked the imagination in play and those who thought it made the book confusing.
pbkids.org has an alphabet soup riddle game you can play. I wonder if you'll get "R O A R"?
