The Hello, Goodbye Window 2006 Caldecott Award


This book was written by Norton Juster and illustrated by Chris Raschka.  After reading this story, I will never look through a window quite the same way!  This story is narrated through the eyes and imagination of a young girl who is visiting her grandparents' house.  The illustrations are very childlike with the lines appearing to be somewhat like scribble/sketch marks.  The colors looked like water colors and were very vibrant making the house and the window seem almost magical.  The illustrations were very appealing to look at!  I liked this book because it reminded me of all the visits to my grandparents' house growing up.
