It's amazing!! I was pleased to see that a number of students and staff immediately recognised Colin Thompson's work.<br />The titles on the books in the puzzle are amazing! It reminds me of some library activities I've done with students:<br />In some library displays we have created fake books with pun titles based on the theme of the display.<br />One really fun activity is when students browse the shelves for interesting titles and then use them to describe themselves - I have a template of a stack of blank books where they write their name and titles. The titles can also be used to create funny sentences or stories. It makes a great display, good talking point and gets students reading books they've never noticed before.<br />librarycanapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09783658408612178476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080763276453498935.post-56057766304853402402014-09-14T00:19:28.481-07:002014-09-14T00:19:28.481-07:00What a great idea!

Colin Thompson, who is one of my all-time favourite illustrators, has an amazingly quirky mind and there's so much to see when looking at his work. <br />Changing book titles would make a wonderful 'quiet moment' activity for any of us.
