Breakfast for Jack - Wordless Book


Breakfast for Jack is a very cute wordless book. When a little boy wakes up, his cat and dog are at his feet waiting to be petted and fed. Then he goes down for breakfast and the animals are both waiting at their food dishes. The boy feeds the cat and then goes to eat his own cereal. The dog, Jack, looks all over for his food and realizes the boy has forgotten to feed him. The boy realizes he hasn't feed Jack and gets up, opens his food can, and is about to feed him when his mom tells him he needs to go upstairs and get dressed. The family leaves for the day without feeding Jack! The dog is looking very sad but luckily the little boy remembers at the last minute and goes and puts the food in Jacks dish.

This book is a good start for children who cannot read yet to learn about plot, setting, and characters. Everything was clear, even without the words. I would not have this in my elementary classroom, but I would definitely recommend it for a preschool classroom.
