Today we read Grandpa Green by Lane Smith.
It is a picture book that has interesting illustrations. The narrator is a little boy who is telling us about his great grandfather. His great-grandfather is a gardener who trims hedges to look like people and figures and objects. As the boy tells the story, we see the great-grandfather's lifetime events told through the bushes/hedges.
Every picture is colored green and white.
We liked the book because it's creative and the author used his imagination.
Some of us think this will be a Caldecott winner this year.
We are still reading possible winners. The winners will be named January 23rd. We can hardly wait to see who wins!!
Have you ever read this book?

I loved this book and I loved all the objects.
