The Wall in the Middle of the Book
The Wall in the Middle of the Book | Jon Agee
4 posts | 14 read | 7 to read
A foolish knight is certain that his side of the wall is the safe side in this clever, amusingly meta picture book by the acclaimed creator of It's Only Stanley There's a wall in the middle of the book, and our hero--a young knight--is sure that the wall protects his side of the book from the dangers of the other side--like an angry tiger and giant rhino, and worst of all, an ogre who would gobble him up in a second! But our knight doesn't seem to notice the crocodile and growing sea of water that are emerging on his side. When he's almost over his head and calling for help, who will come to his rescue? An individual who isn't as dangerous as the knight thought--from a side of the book that might just have some positive things to offer after all!

I loved this story! You can really tell the author is also the illustrator, as the text and pictures are absolutely seamless. I love the characters and the message!

#JamminJune Day 19: This is a brilliant story that makes the reader think about not just what is on the other side of the wall and #SteppinOut but also the misconceptions and fears surrounding what the other side of the wall is like. Too often, ogres get demonized, when as can be seen in the image above, they can actually be fun-loving and pretty nice, & they can be heroes too. My review of this philosophical/political PB: https://wp.me/pDlzr-lSM

Hey. Know any ridiculous people who think building a wall protects and divides the good from the bad? Maybe send them a copy of this brilliance. I‘m taking donations to send to a certain person in a certain white house. Maybe I‘ll send my 6-year old to read it to him.
