#blogbookaday: Door
Summary:
“What’s on the other side of the door? There’s only one way to find out: You’ll have to go through it.
JiHyeon Lee’s debut book, Pool, was lauded as a wordless masterpiece. Here she takes readers on another journey into an unexpected world. Delicate drawings transform from grays to vivid color as a curious child goes through a mysterious door and discovers that open-mindedness is the key to adventure and friendship.” (Taken from Goodreads)
Review:
In a wordless picture book, a young boy discovers a key and enters into a world filled with creatures that he’s never seen before and doesn’t understand. With bright colors and a new friend the little boy goes on an adventure in this new place!
Personal Reaction:
This is such a cool concept! I really enjoyed JiHyeon Lee’s wordless picture book, Pool and I’m glad to say I enjoyed this one too! It reminded me a little of Mr. Wuffles! by David Wiesner, in the fact that we can’t understand a word that is said throughout the story, but we can still understand exactly what is happening. This would make a great book for kids who want to read, but don’t quite have the literacy skills yet. Or have them draw what they’d like to find on the other side of a mysterious door!

This is a new idea I’m trying on my blog this year that was inspired by @donalynbooks and @heisereads – to provide a brief review of a picture book every day of 2018. You’ll get a brief summary of the story, a review of the content, illustrations and theme, my personal reaction to the book and all the pertinent publication information! Enjoy!
