Velcome, By Kevin O'Malley
A “scary” story with a twist, this book has bold pictures and funny dialogue. I wanted to read this book for my own understanding after we used it in our "dissection of a children's book" activity a few weeks ago. The man telling the story keeps jumping around and not finishing a story before he starts another one. His stories also don’t really make much sense, and start out scary but the endings make them funny instead. Children will get a laugh out of the sly pictures, the way the story jumps around, and the way the words look in the story as well. I would encourage my kids to read this on their own, since I think they will find the story amusing and enjoyable, and from here, I would hope that they would find an author that they really enjoyed and would want to keep reading books from.
