Description

Look out! A bird escapes from its cage and flies out the window. A napping cat wakes up hungry and tries to catch a snack. A dog stands guard in his backyard, ready to bark at anything that comes near. Follow the tales of three animals on one wild afternoon.

In this clever wordless comic, each animal is a hero in its own story and all three stories are connected. Lee Nordling's simple storytelling engages young readers and provides a gateway into understanding multiple perspectives and points of view.

Featured Reviews

Such a clever idea, to tell a story from multiple points of view all at once. The layout enables you to read the full story straight through or to focus on an individual character and follow only them through the story. The lack of text enables everyone to enjoy the book, regardless of language or reading ability... but it also allows readers to interpret events their own way.

The illustrations are excellent, full of bright-colors. The animals are so expressive that it almost feels as though there are words describing the action, you can read it so clearly on their faces.

I hope there will be more three-story books to come from Nordling & Bosch.

What a fun graphic novel! The three story lines can be read separately, and together. This would be great for art classes and English classes alike, as it demonstrates intertwined story telling, beautifully. I can see my teachers using this as a basis for a collaborative project.

This is a delightful book! I love the creative use of panels to tell three stories that occasionally intertwine. It is a perfect pictorial depiction of perspective. I would definitely use this book in the classroom!
