GoodReads Description: "In this wordless picture book, extraordinary things are happening behind the windows of the city.
A young girl is walking home from school in a big city. As she gazes up at window after window in the buildings on her route - each one a different shape and size - she imagines what might be going on behind them. By opening the gatefold, readers will get to see inside her imagination. An indoor jungle. A whale in a bathtub. Vampires playing badminton."
MY REVIEW:
What an imaginative little book! We go for a walk with a little girl with a BIG imagination! Along the way many windows are pictured of different sizes, shapes, and styles. But what she imagines behind the windows is much more interesting (and often inspired by the style of window or something on the window ledge, etc.).
There are no words, only pictures as we see each window and what she imagines is behind it on the following page.
I liked this quite a bit! This would be excellent for the classroom to talk about predictions and inferences. And to encourage imagination! Parents could also take this a step further and go on their own window imagining walk!
5 imagination-building stars!
Window walk - go for a walk and guess what's behind the windows, just like the girl in the story!
Window art - have your child design their own window! Cut it out and put white/blue tissue paper behind it and hang it on a window in your house for a nice suncatcher! (Don't forget to imagine what's behind their window, too!)
