I know we looked at this book in our class, but I already had it checked out and read before that! This is a wordless picture book about a little boy at the beach who finds an old camera washed up on shore. After he gets the film developed, he gets to see some crazy pictures the camera took while underwater, as well as the previous owners of the camera!
This is a very good wordless picture book. It is definitely a fantasy book based on the illustrations, and the illustrations are amazing! Wiesner put so much effort into his pictures and the colors are perfect for keeping a child's attention. It is a silly book which can encourage language as the child who is looking at the book realizes that what is in the pictures is not actually real.
I would give this book a 5 out of 5 for wordless picture books. Definitely one for the classroom.
I did a book by David Wiesner as well! It is interesting the similarities I see between these two books. The book I read was called Free Fall and it was a fantasy as well. I gave that book an 8 out of 10. It is definitely a book you should consider putting in your library.
