When Jack Goes Out

by: Pat Schories

You, as the reader will have to fill in the pages and decide what happens to Jack the dog when he goes outside. This picture book has no words, but tells a very exciting story about a puppy who sees a group of aliens come down from outer space after he is let out by his owner. What is so great about this book is the fact that dogs cannot actually tell us what they see or what they think, much like the way this book is written. I think that this would be a great class activity to constuct a text that would match each picture in the book and decide what happens to the puppy. I really enjoyed "reading" or viewing, rather this book and I would recommend it for lower elementary students.
