Free Fall

Harper Collins Publishers: 1998
ISBN Number: 0-668-10990-X
This is a Danielle MUST read for children this week. Free Fall, by David Wiesner, is a Wordless Picture book that is all about peaking a child's interest through abstract art. Join the little boy as he flies through his dreams. Watch him as he rides story pages into lands of fantasy. Can he make it out of his dream alive? Find out by reading Free Fall for a suspenseful bedtime story.
I would give this book an eight out of ten this week because it is appealing to children. The pictures are complicated, but a child could stare at them in awe and find a new clue each time they read the story. The content is appropriate for a child and is a story that will want them to get right to bed. I would say this is a good book for children who have trouble sleeping at night. I was even excited to read this story. It is not only exciting for the child, but for the parent as well! The colors on each page are vibrant and keep the child interested. While the book is not as sturdy as a typical board book, the pictures are very big so the child has no trouble seeing the pictures.
David Wiesner has written other picture books such as Mr. Wuffles! and Flotsam. If your child is interested in Wordless Picture books, I would suggest getting other books by this author. You can get more details about Wiesner at his webiste:
This sounds like an amazing book for children to read to help develop their imagination! The colors and art could also be exciting for children who do not really want to read! I also like how you recommended other books from the author and gave the link for his page!
