The Red Book: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner (Caldecott Honor Book)

I love this book. It allows children use their imagination to create their own story line as there are no words. Great illustrations. Gifted for Xmas to my grand niece.

My grandaughter and I are really loving the book great illustrations and a cool concept.. she will be able to grow up with it .... no age limitregular paper book so its not for tiny fingers to read alone.

I gave this book to an American family which is quite unusual. The husband is ethnic Chinese, and the wife is ethnic Japanese. Naturally, their two children live in a household where Chinese, Japanese, and English are spoken daily. A picture book such as this was well received as it has no language limitations or challenges, a sort of linguistic ointment for a family which is uniquely blessed and, at times, frustrated.

This book is awesome. It was recommend to me for my classroom. I like it because the children can tell their own story by looking at the pictures. This is a wordless book. It helps the children to use their imagination and critically think. Thanks for sending it in a timely fashion. I appreciate your business and plan to order from you in the future.

This is amazing and we love this book. What a joyful experience it will be for you and your child

I bought this for my 5 year old autistic son. He doesn't know his alphabet yet and is nowhere near ready to learn, but he is acutely aware that he doesn't know how to read. Before he figured this out he would tell cute little stories as he turned the pages in his books. Then he realized he couldn't read and stopped. He wouldn't even TELL us stories. He would only say "I can't read." So my brilliant mom suggested picture books. This looked the most promising because he likes maps and there aren't lots of children in the book nor is the storyline confusing. He doesn't have to ''imagine'' the plot or the characters. It's very simple. He was really resistant at first but once he figured out you could say whatever you want as you ''read'' the pictures (which is an important pre-reading skill) he began to love it. Last night he grabbed it for storytime himself, which was HUGE.

This book was chosen to utilize Comprehension Connections (by Tanny McGregor) theories for thinking and reading strategies. It is ideal as it has no words. I wish I had purchased the new version and will do that from now on. The pages are nice but the cover is not as nice. Regardless of this, the book is ideal for the text illustrations. The author has other books which are also provacative for thinking.

My 5-year old daughter and I love this book. It works on all levels, and I found myself thinking about the plot and "what-ifs" long after we finished reading. As someone who has been reading children's books daily to my three kids for 11 years, it's hard to come up with something new and different that makes an impression - but this book does it. I'm not even going to try and explain the plot because every summary sounds more confusing than the next, so just do this: BUY the book (or get it from your library, but I guarantee you are going to want your own copy) and just let the story happen. You won't regret it, I promise!

Amazon book purchase has never disappointed me so far. Great price, 👌🏻 quality, almost anything one is looking for, we can find.

Good book but not worth the pruce I paid...

Excelente livro.

Children's authors are advised to leave open questions in the text, so that part of the narrative can be conveyed through the pictures. In "The Red Book", illustrator, Barbara Lehman, goes one better, by dispensing with words altogether and telling an entire story through pictures. And what a story it is! A young girl on her way to school stops to pick up a red volume half buried in a snow bank. She opens the book to discover a sequence of illustrations depicting a solitary boy walking along a tropical beach towards . . . a red book, half buried in the sand. The complex plot that follows is communicated seamlessly. This book, which celebrates human connection, invites sharing and discussion precisely because we must supply the missing words. A wonderful bed-time offering. Selected as a Book of the Month by the "Mums Write!" website (April, 2012)

Questo silent book è semplicemente meraviglioso...e meno male che sono riuscita tramite amazon ad averne due copie....di cui una da regalare!
