Kids Book
One Boy
 |
by Laura
Vaccaro Seeger |
A CLASSIC IN THE MAKING FROM THE 2008 CALDECOTT HONOR
WINNER
ONE BOY is a perfect example of why Kirkus Reviews
calls Laura Vaccaro Seeger the “emerging master of the
concept book”—a die-cut book exploring counting and words-withinwords,
and the power of art and imagination. At the start,
readers see a sad boy surrounded by empty, lonely chairs. At
his feet is a bag with paint brushes peeking out. The text
reads “ONE boy” which—with a turn of the page and a look
through a cleverly cut hole—turns into “all alONE.” Page
after page, the book becomes populated with seals, apes, and
monkeys, all examples of words-within-words. Finally, we
come back to “ONE boy” who is “all dONE,” and we discover
where all the characters came from.
