Summary: Love it.
Review: I really enjoyed reading Baaa it's funny yet a little disturbing. It's pretty cool, and I think it's the best picture
book, since I'm a little too old for picture books.

Summary: Gets the Mind Going
Review: The best thing about this book is that the author never explicitly explains what happened. I read it aloud to my 5th grade class as a prelude to a lesson on making inferences, and the students found it absorbing and challenging. Don't assume that it's for young children because it's a picture book: the story is really too dark and the themes too complex for most children under ten. Teachers could incorporate this book into language arts or social studies instruction for students from the 5th to the 12th grade. Don't miss out- read it!

Summary: Subversive classic
Review: While this zen-gray book is presented as a children's fable, it is clearly intended for adults as a parable on over-population. The human race has vanished, and sheep take over from where we left off. But with the newly reclaimed technology comes a sharp rise in the birthrate, and cities become crowded and violent. Food becomes more and more scarce. Finally, a new foodstuff called "BAAA" becomes available. As the public develops a taste for it, the population begins to decline...sharply.Think of it as "Make Room, Make Room" (the book that inspired the film "Soylent Green") with training wheels.
