David Macaulay is a genius. Too bad I can't capture his geniusness for the draft of the paper I'm supposed to turn in tomorrow morning at 8:30. I have a thesis statement about his book...and not much more. I honestly just have no idea where to begin an analytic critique of this book when it took me three read-throughs to even understand the plot. I wish I could have Macaulay over for lunch sometime and just let him talk about it for 20 minutes.
If you haven't read his picture book Black and White, I recommend you find yourself a copy and read through it...several times. :) Especially if you have kids--they'll probably "get" the story long before you do!
Okay, I have a draft to get back to, and a lesson plan to write, or I'd blog a bit longer. Stay tuned!
