Journey – Aaron Becker’s Wordless Trilogy
Why we love it:
This book was recommended by one of our Speech Therapists. She likes this book because it allows the reader to demonstrate a variety of language skills (sequencing, narrative telling, inferencing, describing, etc) during story time. “Journey” is a wordless picture book that takes its readers on a magical adventure that starts from a simple drawing of a doorway in her bedroom. What journeys will she go on? Only the reader can say!
