Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book? By Lauren Child

I loved this book!! It's a little advanced. There are a lot of words on each page and they are kind of all over the place, but that is what makes it so interesting. The text size and font change frequently throughout the story too. It started off with Herb who loved to read but he wasn't actually a good reader so he mostly looked at picture books. Even this first page would be wonderful to read as a class because many of your students may like to read but not be good at it and feel that they are not reading when they just look at pictures. One night Herb falls asleep looking at his books and falls into a fairy tale. He wakes up inside the story of Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears, and then travels into Cinderella. The pictures are so intriging. A few times I had to put my finger up to the page to see if it were flat. The pictures are created from layering cut outs of real life pictures, drawings and paper. One page has opens up to make the picture larger which I think is fun for kids, and an other page has a hole cut out of it which is part of the story. There is even a page that is written upside down, you literally have to turn the book around to read it and look at the pictures. You will not get bored reading this book!
