2. PLOT SUMMARY- In this fun informational
picture book Elizabeth Scanlon shares many aspects of the world. Scanlon presents the existence from land to
water and everything in between. Scanlon starts with family and friends, things
that grow, things to eat things, activities to have fun, things that are hot
and cold new and old, and she ends with a peaceful world.
3. CRITICAL ANALYSIS- Scanlon’s writing is simple and
easy to read. She says a lot without
using a lot of words, her writing is open ended and really leaves space for advanced
thinking. Scanlon produced a good book
for grades first – fourth grade. This is
a short book that covers a great amount of information.
