Round trip by Ann Jonas


I think this book should be also known as the story that keeps you TURNING back for more!

This is an instant favourite for me, I had to take in a deep breath after reading this book because it was simply mesmerizing! It also builts on the mood of going on a trip happily and slowly winding the day by going back home.

This book is about:

The scenery, places and things seen along a trip.

Interesting aspects of the book:

After reading the book in the usual reading position, the reader will again be greeted by another set of captivating scenery once the book is being turned upside down. Wonderful "optical illusions" which comprises of different strokes, shapes and lines.The simple sentence on each page adds to the joyful "ride" experience.

"We followed the shore past marshy inlets and summer cottages"

Turn the book over...

"We saw fireworks and stopped to watch"

 

Inspiration for:
  • toddlers who simply likes to be read to
  • encouraging preschoolers to look out for things during a trip
  • preschoolers exploring shadows for art making
  • preschoolers exploring optical illusions
