My rating: 5 of 5 stars
We read this book in the K class for our aeronautics unit. It was fun, and sparked a lot of conversation and imaginations. But not even I was prepared for the sad ending. Yes, a sad ending in a picture book. But after that, we talked about how air can help you come down slowly if you can capture it in some manner. The class remembered the parachutist that they saw jumping out of a hot air balloon basket in their last section of the unit and engineered parachutes of their own. It was a great time!

Lots of picture books have sad endings.
ReplyDeleteThe way we capture air.
And parachute engineering for the win!

Sad endings are not for us.
ReplyDeleteIt's not often i see a sad ending in a picture book, but there's no reason it can't happen if it's the logical ending.
