Brown, P. (2014). My teacher is
a monster. NY: Little, Brown Books forYoung Readers.
Summary:
Every child believe that their teacher is a monster and this story is no different. Our main character believes that
his teacher is really a monster because of her strict
discipline and corrections she makes with his behavior. However, after they happen to encounter
each other one day outside of school, the little boy begins to believe that maybe she is human after all.
Visual Element:
Line
Lines help to give the basic shapes
such as triangles, circles, rectangles that are used to depict trees in a park,
hills that are climbed, and etc. in this story about a little boy who believes
that his teacher is a monster. Lines are also useful in the story to help show
the distance of flying objects like the paper airplane in the classroom or when
the hat is flying in the wind.
Bobby and his teacher continue to
show a typical student teacher relationship throughout the text. The author
does an amazing job of depicting their relationship and dialogue through the
use of speech bubbles, and wonderful illustrations. The story is well written and
shows wonderful uses of symmetrical graphics and shapes. The pictures allow the
story to continue to move forward and show through little uses of varying color
the general setting for the story. The white space shows and gives the reader
the illustration of a classroom.
