The Giver Illustrated Version
First and foremost Lois Lowry's the Giver is a great book filled with such fantastic fantasy that slowly begins to be unveiled. A little tid bit is released for the reader to knaw on at great length, and before you know it you can really start to reflect on the whole picture and spend a great deal of time just doing that. i think it is the perfect book for kids to reflect on their own ideas of a utopian society, which also asks children to critically think way beyond the comprehension of Lowry's text. I can't say enough about the richness of the text. As an artist and one who appreciates all facets of the Humanities, I couldn't stop thinking about Lowry's created world. With regards to the Illustrations, I was reluctant to pick up this book because the pictures in my mind were so very clearly illustrated and I didn't want them compromised by some other depiction. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did not overly illustrate. The illustrations were fantastic. One of my favorite fellow teachers suggested I read this book, and I thought it's a kids book how good could it possibly be. This book floored me and started my quest to read more Newbery Award Winning Books, and I have to say that I love a good 70% of the recognized Newbery Award and Honor Books. After reading a hundred or so of these types of books, The Giver always remains in the top 5 of all time for me. That's including BIG BOY books as well.
