SuitabookSkulls!
Blair Thornburgh, Scott Campbell
- Reading
- Look through the illustrations together, then pause for questions about what the skull does. Let the child guide how much to discuss its spooky associations.
- Themes
- Reframing skulls: The book presents the skull as an important body part and contrasts this with its spooky associations. It positively invites children to see the skull as fascinating and essential, rather than only frightening.
- Worth knowing
- Skull imagery and the idea of skeletons are part of the subject. The book is described as reassuring, though how the illustrations handle these images is unclear.
