Listening and Responding

The illustrations in a book help us to understand the author’s message.

Families:

One of the best things about a picture book is often the illustrations. Enjoy listening, with your child, to the book Our Big Home by Linda Glasser and illustrated by Elisa Klevin. As you listen, enjoy the very detailed illustrations. Together, notice and talk about how the illustrations in this book help us to understand the author’s message that every living thing on earth shares the same big home. You might even want to listen again, pausing to look at the pictures. There is a lot to see!
