Today we began to look at 'Into the Forest' by Anthony Browne.
While reading the story we looked carefully at the pictures. One of the things we discussed was why Anthony Browne had used colour for the little boy but kept the forest in black and white.
We had lots of thoughts about the colour choices. We thought it might be because the little boy was the main character. Another idea we had was the little boy was opening stories within his story. Therefore the characters were in black and white to show they were from a different place.
We also thought that the black and white images reflected his imagination because he enjoyed listening to Grandma's stories.
We really enjoyed reading the story and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the pictures. We spotted lots of different things in the illustrations. Can you?
Take a look at this picture below and see what you can find hidden in the forest.
We have now started to create a story maps and we look forward to sharing these with you.
