Windows

Today my blog was taken over by fifth grade Reading Ambassadors, Macy and Brianna, to review the beautiful new picture book by Julia Denos and E.B. Goodale in honor of Picture Book Month.  This gorgeous book is definitely a Caldecott contender! And they didn't mention it, but there's a surprise under the case that you don't want to miss!

Windows by Julia Denos

Illustrated by E.B. Goodale

If you like creative, colorful and fun books this book is for you!  This book title is ‘Windows’. It has beautiful illustrations and color.  This book is great for people who like picture books and not a lot of words, but the words explain a lot.  I think it is a book for everyone.  There aren’t a lot of hard words so younger kids can read it.  This book is about a boy who looks out his window and notices people doing chores or learning how to do something. This book is Great!

Personally, the little details on every page are remarkable: the dog's leash, the screen door, the clothes on the line, a light switch, a bellybutton, a sewing machine, a grocery cart.  A story about a warm walk through the neighborhood and a final cozy cuddle comes alive with completely breathtaking illustrations .
