What am I reading now? East by Edith Pattou
For your reading pleasure, I present The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg.
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick
I never heard of The Mysteries of Harris Burdick until the moment a colleague literally placed it in my hands. Without any prior knowledge, I opened it not knowing what to expect. Nothing could have prepared me for what I would find: Wonder.
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is a rarity in children’s picture books, to say the least. Inside the covers of this mysterious book you’ll find fourteen stories comprised of a title, caption and illustration. That’s all. Harris Burdick has left the rest up to you, the reader.
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick makes a single request and, now, so do I: Use your imagination.
