About book Paul Meets Bernadette (2013)

Paul swims alone in his bowl: left to right, right to left, up to down, etc. He never looks beyond his bowl. Until one day, Bernadette appears and she introduces Paul to the outside world and all it's distractions. Though she gives the wrong name to items (she thinks a teapot is an elephant), Paul is fascinated by her.I think students will be amused by Bernadette's errors during read aloud and will be trying to predict her mistakes. Bernadette opens a whole new world for Paul. There is more to life then swimming up and down and all around the fishbowl. Bernadette's interpretation of the world is full of colorful surprises. You can't help but laugh at what she sees when she looks at the outside world. She starts with a banana, 'that is a boat.' The illustrations are what makes this book truly wonderful. Textured paintings make the story rich and each page is a beautiful piece of art. I think I need to buy a second copy just to frame some of the pages.
