Tig’s World

The pictures extend the imaginative jokes, showing upside-down perspectives and fanciful ways people might live, so there is plenty to notice beyond the dialogue.

The imagined scenes use playful, upside-down perspectives, including people living in tree houses and swinging between them on ropes. You could invite your child to spot the visual clues that these are part of the father’s made-up account.

How can you tell when the book is explaining something about the real world and when it is inviting you to imagine?

Pause at the imagined scenes and invite your child to describe what looks realistic or made up; let them lead if they want to explore the gravity question further.
