Wacky Wednesday

I'd like to think as I read this book, that I would find its content immature, not interesting, and possible boring; however, as all educated people know, children's books may be just as delightful for adults if given a chance. This book starts off with one wacky thing in the picture, and ends with twenty. As the young boy discovers that his whole town has gone 'wacky' children are able to pick out the items in the illustrations that seem just a bit off the wall. I looked online to find some classroom activites that may go along with this book because I am an education major. As I browsed the ideas and articles I came across many activities that prove just how important children's literature is to kids. It can become a source of escape, or a way to simply have fun and laugh when a stressful week has young children troubled. I would like to think that this book may become a part of my teaching career after I graduate. I also would like to say that this journal is a great chance to explore all of the opportunies for different types of learning and development through children's literature.
