"It's A Secret" by John Burningham


This is a very new, spunky children’s picture book in the curriculum lab. I came across it while searching for other fantasy books.  What I loved about the book the most were the illustrations and how great they are for children. They are somewhat unusual, but extremely colorful and really jump off the page. They are unusual, because it seems as if the Burningham used watercolors as well as colored pencils/regular pencils to do the illustrations. It is so unique.

This would be a great book to have students act out in a small group. The costumes in the book are fun and would be easily accessible if teachers are used to incorporating drama in the classroom. I highly recommend using this book in the classroom!
