“Imagines the clink, clink, clink of the guards slowly lowering the drawbridge.“

This book could be used really well in a kindergarten- 3rd grade classroom. I was thinking of a read aloud and then a follow up activity where students can draw real life events and then add their own twist, which would support creativity among students.

This book is very interesting in the manner that the Illustrator draws the story of Milo imagining the world, while we also get to see the world that Milo imagines in his drawings. The illustrator provides more realistic events happening around Milo, and we get to see Milo add his own pizazz through his drawings. The difference between the illustrators drawing and Milo's helps show students an example of creativity in a picture book and is cool.

“Milo tries to reimagine all the pictures he made on the train. Maybe he could have done it like this instead.“

The pictures in this book are amazing to look at and kids would really enjoy them as well. The drawings in the story are drawings by the main character, Milo. It would be very interesting for children to read a book and look at pictures from a child's perspective like them. There are many colors that are all so exciting to look at. They also use abstract shapes to form objects like people and cars.

This book written by Matt de la Pena and illustrated by Christian Robinson is a very exciting and visually appealing book. It is about a boy named Milo who is on a very long subway ride to see his mom. To pass the time he draws pictures about the people on the subway with him. He doesn't draw them as they are though, he draws them how he thinks their lives should be.

I‘ve had very little time to read this week. Finished these 3 picture books. The tagged is my favorite ⭐ī¸â­ī¸â­ī¸â­ī¸â­ī¸. The others got ⭐ī¸â­ī¸â­ī¸â­ī¸.

My first read aloud as soon as I can get back to school. I loved everything about it. #TeachEmpathyThroughLiterature #BBRC @LibrarianRyan letter M

Milo and his sister travel on a subway to a destination later revealed in the book. While traveling, Milo imagines what people he sees on the subway train do after leaving the train.

de la Pena uses descriptive words to convey feelings, sights, and sounds. This is best suited for an older audience (early elementary), but the message is one of hope and inspiration. Letter M for #PictureBook #BBRC

“Maybe you can‘t really know anyone just but looking at their face.”
