The Paper Crane

I loved this story. It had a really good narrative flow and the idea behind it was very inventive. It did not necessarily have a message, in fact it ended a bit abruptly, but that is one of the things that I liked about this book. Before taking this class I really focused heavily on books that had something to teach a moral or place an emphasis on a value. Although there are definitely some great books that do this, I have learned that sometimes a book can just tell a story and doesn’t need to be anything more. It can still be very beneficial, even if it is just to tell a child a story they will enjoy. Sometimes less is more.
