The Giant Seed
is a wordless picture book. From what I
read one the inside front jacket of the book it is one in a series about
pigs. This particular book is about a
giant seed growing in the pig’s town. It
grows big and tall and has huge leaves.
The kid pigs play on the plant. A
volcano erupted and started little fires in the village and caused people to
begin to pack up their bags to leave.
Fire lands on the seeds but the pigs climb to the top of the seeds and
cut them off and ride them down to an island.
To me this book was kind of confusing. At the end of the book I could not tell what
really happened, they were on an island but I do not know if it was where their
original village was or if it was a new island that they landed on. This got me thinking on what I would do if my
students were confused. First I would
have them write me a couple of sentences telling me what they think happened at
the end of the book. Then I would have a
few students share if they wanted too. I
would make sure that they know that there is no wrong answer. It would be a great writing activity and
would clear up the meaning of the book for students.
