Mighty Max by Harriet Ziefert

The drawings throughout really make this book a fun and interesting children's book. They all look like they have been drawn by little children which makes it very relateable for the student that is reading it. This could be a great example/reference of what students can do with their writing. It is important to be able to put drawing into writing in order to make it more exciting. It is really cute how the bubbles of what Max is picturing in his head show him really big and bulky like a real superhero. This really relates to dreams and imaginations that kids may have about being big and strong and saving the world. There are many things that Max does and then imagines himself doing. When he rides his bike, he imagines himself riding a motorcycle. When he jumps in the air, he imagines himself flying. The entire time Max is running around, his dad is chasing after him telling him to stop. It is really funny because he doesn't like to listen to his dad and has a mind of his own. The author adds really great sound effects in order to add to the story and make the reader connect more to the story. I also really like that the words are all over the pages and not in one standard order.
