Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. This book sets out to define what "All The World" means. It looks at the perspectives of many different people and how they might see the world. Ultimately the book comes to the conclusion that we are all the world. This book is really about seeing everyone as a person and friend. This would be good for an English class because it has some good writing concepts in it. ( ![]() All the World was written by Liz Garton Scanlon and illustrated by Marla Frazee. This was Frazee's second Caldecott Honor Book in a row; she was recognized last year for A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever. Frazee used black Prismacolor pencil, soft watercolors, and hand-lettering to bring to life (Austin Texas resident) Scanlon's rhyming couplets that celebrate our similarities. I wasn't particularly wowed by either the poetry or the illustrations. I would have liked to see Susan Roth honored for her textured collages in Listen to the Wind. All the World is very informative to the audience. A lot of visual representation helps the words as well. This book would be perfect in the 1st grade classroom setting because they would not need a teacher to read this to them. There is a lot of context clues in this story as well. A beautiful book that simply states how we are all connected, by what we do, what we see, and what we experience. This is a fantastic book, with wonderful illustrations of a multicultural family. The easy rhyming pattern, the pictures, and the theme would appeal to most elementary students. It's a good connection to us and our world and the last line is brilliant: "Hope and peace and love and trust all the world is all of us."
CCBC (Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices 2010) Rock, stone, pebble, sand / Body, shoulder, arm, hand / A moat to dig, a shell to keep / All the world is wide and deep.” Liz Garton Scanlon marries small details to big ideas in the lyrical cadence of connections that comprise her picture book narrative. With great economy of language, Scanlon vividly catalogs a series of objects and activities familiar to young children and then graces each with an eloquent and comforting observation that embraces the wider world. Artist Marla Frazee transforms the poetic text into story with illustrations showing individuals in a small town over the course of a single day. Opening with pictures showing two children collecting rocks at the beach, the next few pages follow the pair and their parents as they play on the shore before driving off toward the nearby town. This family and others in their richly diverse community are shown going from beach, to market, to park, to cafe, to home, with paths that intersect, diverge, and come together again along the way. Frazee’s skilled technique conveys personalities and relationships in a manner that invites young readers to study the pages, following easily identifiable faces and family groups from place to place. This exemplary union of words and pictures begs for repeated readings and leisurely time spent inspecting the inclusive illustrations.
