SUMMARY: This is an amazing wordless picture book that will take all readers on quite a journey! A little girl who lives in the city discovers a red book covered by the snow. In this book she finds a map of an island and sees pictures of a little boy reading the same book; however, in his red book the story shows the city-girl. I see this book as a play on words. When I see the word "red", I think of the homophone "read". I think this story would be great to demonstrate to children how "red"/"red" books can lead everyone to a different place/perspective; however, they will all enjoy it at the same rate.
