Week 1 Silent Reading | Picture Books

Picture Books: read at least three picture books from within the classroom. Write a paragraph about your favourite book. Remember to include the storyline and the illustrations in your response.

My favourite book out of the 3 I read last week was called; How the Kumara Came to Aotearoa. It told a Maori tale about how kumara came to New Zealand. I liked the type of style the illustrator used for the drawings in the book.
