Original Book on Book Dash: Tig’s World (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- 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.
- Themes
- Science and invention: Tig hears a gravity explanation from her scientist mother and fanciful accounts from her writer father, then suspects that someone is making things up. The story contrasts scientific explanation with invention, but does not set out to prove the father's imagined scenarios.
- Accepting different kinds of stories: After questioning her father's account, Tig decides that it is OK if someone is making things up. The ending warmly accepts imaginative storytelling, while the contrast with the mother's explanation keeps fact and fantasy distinct.
- Worth knowing
- 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.
