Summary: |
This very simple and stunningly illustrated poem compares a book to a house, a treasure chest, a farm, and a tree. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Text, illustrations, and the relationship between them-- all will be excellent topics for discussion and writing. In ESOL classes, discussion of pages will help learners build their oral English. The figurative language is worth focusing on as well; perhaps learners would like to develop their own metaphors to explain something of importance in their own lives.
