When reading about "The Invention of Hugo Cabret", I was sad to see the boy that lived without a family. I could not imagine living in a train station by myself, at any age, let alone his age! I could feel how scared he was when he met the shop owners daughter. Could you imagine being scared that your whole life is in jeoperdy????? I also loved the drawings...this is not just a picture book , or a graphic novel, it is a combination of the two! And I think that Brian Selznick is genius for thinking of it! I would recommend this book to other peers!
Happy Reading!
I agree that this book is genius! When I picked it up, I was thinking this is a long book, but once I looked inside, I couldn't believe it. What a great way to tell a story and encourage children to read! AWESOME BOOK!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought that Brian Selznick was very creative in way he used the illustrations as part of the storyline. I would also recommend this book to my peers. It was a wonderful book that I truly enjoyed!
