The illustrations are better than the prose.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.

This book would be nice for primary or intermediate students. It tells a story using only pictures of a little community of pigs. One day a giant dandelion flies toward their village and they harvest and plant its seeds, a nearby volcanoe erupts and the village evacuates to a safe place, flying away on the dandelions they had planted. This is a helpful book because being a worldless book, students could create their own interpreations about what is happening within it. I would use this book in a ways that after we read it as a class students could turn to a partner and summarized what happened in it, and then as a class we could try to put our own words into the story.… (more)

This book was super cute with a community of pigs planting a dandelion seed that grows until it is very large. The volcano near them erupts and they have to evacuate their town on the dandelions. (It could be relatable for children especially in Oregon with having to evacuate because of the wildfires) This would be a great book for writing creative stories
