Talk about: What kinds of journeys can a book help you imagine?
The pictures invite children to spot the contrast between what the classmates say and what they are actually doing. It can also prompt talk about how a book sparks imaginative journeys.
The imagined scenes include a rollercoaster, a shark and an elephant ride. They are shown as adventures in children’s imaginations, rather than as frightening or harmful events.
Which details help you work out that the children are imagining their adventures? If you could choose a book for the class, what sort of journey might it take you on?
Pause at each child’s claim and invite your reader to look closely at the picture before turning the page. At the end, let them choose a book or invent a journey of their own.
