Vanilla Ice Cream, Bob Graham

Vanilla Ice Cream is a picture book written by Bob Graham.  It is an interesting book and one that even I had a hard time understanding.  At the begging the book is about a little sparrow who unlike the other sparrows goes on an adventure and ends up in a big city.  That is where the bird meets a little girl named Edie Irvine who discovers vanilla ice cream for the first time.  It was a good book I just do not really understand the main point of the book.

If I were to use the book Vanilla Ice Cream in my classroom I would use it to teach my students about perspective.  After we read the book I would talk to students about the birds perspective and "birds eye view" and how it sees everything from above.  In order to bring this home to students I would have them write a journal entry as if they were a bird and what they see throughout the day,  For that reason and activity I would have this book in my classroom.
