« Once upon a time, a line was drawn. »
But wait…what is the line purpose ? And should the line just go straight ? Can it be something else like a cowboy’s lasso or a high-wire in the circus ? Or could it just become a shape if it learns to curve or turns a corner ?
Once upon a line is lot of
This book inspires creativity and exploration. It encourages young readers to ask questions and to discover the world around them. As we follow the line’s adventures around the globe, we encounter shapes, colors, continents, weather, and even stars.
The illustrations are colorful and fun and the story is really entertaining. I particularly enjoyed the humor and the strong message shared in the story : you don’t need to be perfect to be yourself. It is also a wonderful book that can be easily used in math lessons or in art class.
