Flotsam


Wiesner, D. (2006). Flotsam. New York, NY: Clarion Books.

Brief Annotation: This wordless picture book chronicles the adventures of a young boy at the beach. When he happens upon an antique underwater camera tossed onshore by the waves, he is introduced to a variety of new worlds.

Genre: Picture Book

Grade Level: K-4

Readers who will like this: pre-literate children, students curious about life under the sea, kids who enjoy stories with open endings.

Response/Rating (1-4): ***The illustrations create a vivid tale about underwater possibilities and the connections that can be created between people in different times and places. I believe that this book would captivate students’ imaginations.

One question you would ask before a read aloud: If you found a camera lying on a beach, what would you do?
