pickThis was my #FoodAndLit pick for #Botswana
It was interesting to read about Mark and Delia‘s experiences living in the Kalahari desert and the relationships they made with the animals living there.
Even as a reader you become invested in the livelihood of the animals.
Pinkney's representation of the mouse and lion‘s sizes helps emphasize the power dynamics between prey/predator and mighty/meek.
pickJerry Pinkney, in classic fashion, vividly engrosses the reader in the setting of the story from page one. It is wordless (like his version of Tortoise and the Hare), so I would likely do a whole class reading together before putting this book in my classroom library to explore.
