A Sick Day For Amos McGee
Written by Philip C. Stead - Illustrated by Erin E. Stead
Introduction
Literary Elements
Physical and Visual Features
Artistic Style and Media
The artistic style used was I would say a fun mix of realistic and cartoon. In creating children's literature I believe this is a really important style because it helps children expand their imaginations while reading, since the images are not what they would normally see around it helps spark creativity. However, it is realistic characters which I think helps the overall meaning of friendship seem very real and true, rather than something of fiction.
