One Sunday Morning

Heo, Y. (1999). One sunday morning. New York: Orchard Books, A Grolier Company.




This books main character is Minho. He and his father take a trip to the park on the subway.  The book is full of onomatopoeia, with sounds of the subway train and other noises from the park.    I would say that the illustrator used and expressionists style. The pages are full of colorful images that will get the attention of any young child.

This book would be a useful to use when describing how people see things differently   What is normal to one culture is totally new to another.  You could compare and contrast the different cultures.

Big questions:

Choose a book and imagine you were visiting another country, describe what you would see and hear that is different.

How do you think Minho felt with his father in New York?
