![]() ![]() ![]() I turned the page expecting to dive into the text, but again I was distracted by the illustration! It was an illustration of a man (Harry Colebourn) touching the face of a horse. The mother and child were drawn very simply using gentle tones, which made themselves seem very gentle, too. ![]() I feel that the illustrator used color and detail to show that these items are important. Bright-hued books on a shelf also gained my attention, as well as a detailed illustration of a photo album. The background colors were dark, with little detail, which made my eyes focus on the opposite page where it showed a mother and child on a bed. It was a full bleed illustration that made me feel like I was in Cole’s room getting ready to listen to the story. I was wrong in my expectations and impressions (and I’m happy about that)! The very first thing I noticed was the first illustration. I was under the impression that the book was going to be about the character Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. My expectations for this book were not very high, as I was not a big fan of Winnie the Pooh character as a child. Genre: Contemporary realistic fiction, with parts of nonfiction Finding Winnie: The true story of the world’s most famous bear. ![]()
