Literacy Book- Week 7

  Part One Montgomery, S. (2009). Quest For The Tree Kangaroo . Clarion Books. Part Two The book The Quest for the Tree Kangaroo is a beautiful nonfiction story that explains a journey in New Guinea exploring the animal the tree kangaroo. The author did an amazing job of explaining her journey from start to finish on this trip and bringing life to the story of the expedition. One particular thought I had when reading this book was how smart the author was to include pictures in the story, as it can start to feel long, but the pictures keep the book enticing. Part Three This book in particular would be considered a quality book. It has a lot of structure in terms of plot, setting, theme, and style. There is a lot of structure and repetition where there are pictures in each page that are vibrant to keep the reader engaged. It is supposed to be a story that helps bring attention to an animal people may have never heard of, and spark interest to learn more. More so the book grabs the a...

  Part One Chbosky, S. (1999). The Perks of Being a Wallflower . Pocket Books. Part Two The book The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a young adult literature book that takes us readers on a personal adventure through Charlies eyes.

It is supposed to be ...

  Part One Kibuishi, K. (2008). Amulet(#1) The Stonekeeper . Graphix. Part Two The first book of the Amulet series is a great graphic novel that has art and an adventurous story that goes with it. The author did an amazing job at utilizing what they are able to do best in a graphic novel and making it a story that is intense, yet easy to follow along with. Kibuishi makes the story easy for readers to follow along with by using the shape of the boxes of each page to make it easy for the readers to sense where to read next. One particular thought I had when reading this graphic novel was how important the color was utilized in telling the story as well as the text style. With a graphic novel it showed that every little detail is important when telling a story because a graphic novel utilizes littler words and more animations to tell the story. Part Three This book in particular would be considered a quality book. It has a lot of structure in terms of plot, setting, theme, and style. ...
