review 1: Summary: “The Hero of Little Street” is a story of a young boy who is chased by some children and ends up in a museum. While wondering around a dog jumps out of a picture! Once acquainted, the dog and boy continue wondering around the museum. They start jumping in pictures and experience what each picture is going through, until they end up in a bad situation. Through teamwork, the boy and dog end up free and out of the bad picture!Audience: This book is intended for students who like comic books and I also think this book could be intended for students who are unable to read yet.Appeal: This book is a good fit because it has so many fun pictures and gives you a lot of details as to what is going on so you do not miss a beat!Implementation: I would use this book as a t... moreool for visual literacy. It seems as though students these days do not grasp visual literacy as well as they once had. So I would use this book to talk about what is happening and have the students help figure out what is going on. We would talk about how you read books with no pictures in them, so basically how to ‘read’ the pictures. Bibliography: Rogers, G. (2012). The hero of Little Street. New York: Roaring Brook Press.
review 2: “The Hero of Little Street” takes us on a brief trip through the National Museum of London with the feature being the world and art of painter Jan Vermeer. The concept of travelling through art is interesting, but the delivery is uninspiring. As a wordless book the illustrations need to tell the story and keep the interest of the reader. The comic strip style does a good job of telling the story, but the art itself, while nice, is a little too subdued to keep my interest over multiple readings. So you or your child will probably enjoy reading this book once, but requests for an encore are unlikely. less
