Learning about concrete poetry!
An interesting style of telling a story, this picture book gets the brain working. The device used is concrete poetry. (Definition from Wikipedia: Concrete poetry is an arrangement of linguistic elements in which the typographical effect is more important in conveying meaning than verbal significance. It is sometimes referred to as visual poetry, a term that has now developed a distinct meaning of its own.) Puppy and kitten have trepidation about each other until a storm brews and they protect each other from the larger danger. This is a good book for the TAILS & TALES summer reading theme!

So cool!
With a spin of the "wheel" the image changes. The colors are bold and beautiful and the pictures draw you into the exciting world around us. This would be a great compare/contrast book for the same places in reality. I bought this book because Salina Yoon is this year's summer reading program illustrator for TAILS and TALES! (2021) Unfortunately, this book is too special to circulate but I will be able to use it in story time! The hot air balloon and the fireworks are especially wonderful because we see those here in Seymour!
