Flotsam by David Weisner


What is flotsam? Apparently, it is floating refuse or debris. I never knew about this word until I read this book to Ricky. The book is about a camera found at sea. I don't want to ruin the book for anyone so I won't divulge any more about the plot. But basically, this book has all pictures and no words, so it is up to the storyteller to tell the story. I have read this book to Ricky a few times and every time it is different - the plot is the same, but he notices different details each and every time. The illustrations are great and leave much to the imagination. No surprise that this is a Caldecott winner. A huge recommend!
