The flying hand of Marco B.
Richard Leiter
- Reading
- Enjoy the rhymes aloud, then pause to distinguish what happens on the car trip from what Marco imagines. You could also talk about keeping hands inside a moving car.
- Themes
- Imagination and everyday life: Marco becomes bored during a family car journey and imagines his hand flying. The fantasy is presented as the basis for a sky adventure, but the story’s broader view of imagination is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes Marco putting his hand out of a moving car window.
