Summary: |
Anno arrives by small boat, bargains for a horse, and begins a journey across Europe that crosses countries and merges past with present. The reader sees quiet villages, working farms, towering castles, and bustling cities. This world is populated with a cross-section of humanity and enchanted creatures from fairy tales, art, and music. The journey is discovering the wonder of life that fills each page. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This wordless book can be read (repeatedly) just for the fun of it. Pairs of learners (or tutor-learner pairs) can talk about what they see on each page, either descriptively or in guessing-game format. The results of these discussions can be scripted (via language-experience approach) to create reading material. Learners could write stories based on the illustrations as well. |
