To help present an activity like this one, a teacher could also share some of Doreen Cronin's picturebooks, including Diary of a Worm, Diary of a Spider, Diary of a Fly, and on and on.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 17:26:31 Bookplateleaf 0004 Boxid IA137912 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City New York Donor Since a white bunny and several other animals are shown in a number of the illustrations, students can seek out and find the bunny.Īlso, after having read (or heard aloud) this book, kids could write their own diary entries from the perspective of someone or something that has had different experiences from their own. UFO DIARY is a fantasy book that about an alien shares his story about how he landed on earth and had a new friend there, the alien saw plants and animals on the earth, and then he came back to his. It shares the relatable tensions of going to a new place and wanting to make friends (even when the potential friends don't speak the same language). Then I knew he was going to be my friend." "There in front of me was a strange blue planet, bright as a glass ball."
"On Monday, I took a wrong turn in the Milky Way." Let's say, two dollars, maybe? (I never said I'd bet a lot of money.) I'd be willing to bet money this was done intentionally. The final illustration-I won't give away what it is of-reminded me strongly of one of the sketches in de Saint-Exupery's classic, The Little Prince. The visitor's body is never shown and the reader is always seeing from his/her/its perspective so they can see the familiar world in a new light. The strengths of these illustrations is how completely they're given from the perspective of the alien. The faces the human boy makes when he sees the narrator are humorous and cute (although, the boy is so pale, he looks kinda like a particularly expressive zombie). We read/Leemos - collection of bilingual childrens books: Diario de un ovni / UFO Diary + CD. The dark blues that capture space are beautiful. This makes me wonder if Kitamura and the publisher had trouble picking a name for the book. Instead, this is a first person account in an alien's childlike voice. I put the diary entry part as a question above because there is no actual mention (or showing) of a diary throughout the story. New York: Farrar Straus GirouxĪppetizer: An alien shares his story (a diary entry?) of how he/she/it took a wrong turn and landed on Earth where he/she/it made a new friend.
