Response to Your Place or Mine?


After reading this article I was amazed about how much can be pulled from what seemed, a simple children’s book.  It was great to read all of the information that the authors pulled from it.  The themes and views of family, culture, environment, illustration, and text were analyzed in great detail.  I never really looked at a children’s book and wondered what it was actually about, the reading in between the lines.  I think that this would be a great lesson plan for children because it will get them thinking about the underlying meaning of the book and get them brainstorming and learning about a different culture other than their own.  I really enjoyed reading this and was able to take a lot out of it even though I had to read it several times!
