Very glad to read more detailed thoughts about Fish in a Tree - you may also want to check out Margarita Engle's The Wild Book - it tackles the same themes in verse. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-62746907879706676352015-02-09T23:58:47.411-05:002015-02-09T23:58:47.411-05:00I'm waiting for Fish In a Tree to arrive from ...I'm waiting for Fish In a Tree to arrive from the library, but from all the great buzz I'm hearing, I think I should just purchase it.

I'm looking forward to reading this at some point, but have a huge stack of other books to get through first. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day. I didn't clean at all, just some laundry.

I'm hoping it will be passed around and read by my of my Children's Lit students. I agree that this would be a terrific read-aloud and lead to rich conversation. Love your point about simple text and complex discussion. We were just talking about this last week on Twitter in my #yalitclass, wondering why so many high school teachers seem to think that complex thinking only emerges from hard text.
