eventful day he decides to make a wish on a dandelion that other animals could
show others their “friendly” side. When he wakes up the next day, he wish had
seem to have come true, from Eddie the elephant, Carter the crocodile, and even
Felix the fox were beginning to show their friendly side and Ralf couldn’t be
happier!
Images
The
artist, Fran Brovo, uses a lot of nature in the images. She says she
sees animals, insects and plants as an accurate reflection of our
behaviors and qualities. The particular selection I chose to create my
picturebook was done with water colors. The images are
appropriate for young children because the colorful and clear
illustrations and artwork support a simple story line. If the pictures
don't have nature back grounds then that background are white. Some of the
images have a curricular painting in the middle of the page, with a
color background and white surrounding the curricular image. Text I tried to keep my text simple because my picturebook is geared toward younger readers.Rhyming is used in my story as well as repeated patterned sounds which are particularly interesting to children...
He helped Sam the Sheep (repeated pattern) cross the street (rhyming).
