PreS-Gr 2
When a boy gets a yellow shirt as a gift, his best friend thinks it's a terrible present, but the birthday boy doesn't agree. When he wears it, he can be a bouncing ball, a stalking lion, a taxi "zooming down the street," a creeping caterpillar-anything he wants to be.
Words and large, acrylic, cartoon illustrations, most of them double-page spreads, pair well to tell this story of a child's lively imagination. Young readers who look closely at the boy's toys will notice that his playthings serve as models for the animals and objects he becomes while wearing his yellow shirt. This story can provide a much-needed stimulus for children to use their own imaginations, and they may enjoy talking about other things one could do with a yellow shirt.A fun book to read about a child's imagination in exploring the possibilies of the many yellow things he could be in the world: a lion, a taxi, even a waddling yellow duck. Short setences on a page make this a quick and fun read for young children. A perfect read aloud to a group when studying the color yellow or talking about imagination.
So much fun!
