SuitabookCoppernickel goes Mondrian
Wouter van Reek
- Reading
- Read the story together, pausing to look closely at the illustrations when Mr Quickstep presents his work. Invite the child to describe what they notice before offering your own interpretation.
- Themes
- Art and imagining the future: Mr Quickstep searches for a future that has not yet been thought of and shows Coppernickel his latest work. The illustrations weave his search for an abstract idea into the story. The art is presented as part of how the story explores ideas about reality and what people might create next.
- Worth knowing
- Coppernickel worries that he may miss out if he does not follow Mr Quickstep. This brief concern about being left behind could be worth noticing with a child who finds that feeling familiar.
