Quelle étrange bête chez moi
Johanne Gagné
- Reading
- If you obtain the book, preview its images or opening together, then pause to ask what the child notices and predicts. Revisit the ending to discuss whether those expectations changed.
- Themes
- Encounter with something described as strange: The title refers to a strange beast in the speaker’s home, but supplies no further situation. The wording may invite curiosity or mystery, but it does not show whether strangeness is treated playfully, fearfully or critically.
- Worth knowing
- Pay attention to whether the portrayal of the unusual creature, if central, feels playful, frightening, puzzling or otherwise emotionally demanding.
