Al and his best friend Eddie, his dog, live in a small cramped apartment. The work, clean and feel like their life is horrible. One day a mystical bird appears before them and offers them a life like no other. Will the two decide to leave their lives and pay the ultimate price? The illustrations in this book are extremely realistic and offer the reader a glimpse into his life by creating illustrations that take the reader far beyond what is pictured. The beautiful rich colors used allow the pictures to come allow and offer a deeper understanding of the feelings of the characters. The theme in this book makes the reader stop and think about life in a different perspective.
I really enjoyed this book and feel that it would be beneficial in many ways in a classroom. The book offers the chance to explore adjectives more in depth and allows students to think about what the true meaning of happiness is. This is an excellent picture book with such a wonderful theme.
Big idea/questions: What is the true meaning of happiness and how much is it worth?
