The Red Tree

In my class reading group our focus is on sophisticated picture books. A sophisticated picture book is a picture book, but the story is mostly told by the pictures. This week my picture book focus was on The Red Tree by Shaun Tan. This book is about a girl at home alone who as nothing to do. So she takes a journey through different places to try and find something to do. When the day finished she thought that it ended in the same way it started by it didn't because she finally found the red tree in her bedroom at home. Somethings I noticed in the book was that there was hidden characters that you probably wouldn't of seen the first time you read the book and also that there is a red leaf hidden on every single page. Here is a photo of the book:

 See if you can spot the hidden characters on this page.
