[CALIBK12] Images from The Underneath

[Kbshepler at aol.com]

Each of us has our favorite fiction  elements; for some it is plot, for some 
it is voice. My weakness is setting. For  me, it is all about "location, 
location, location". So I had a  very enjoyable time reading The Underneath by  
Kathi Appelt for my Mock Newbery book group. In my mind's eye I could see  each 
of the birds and trees mentioned in The Underneath that make the  book such a 
rich experience. But I thought about the  reader who did not have the knowledge 
to visualize all of the things  in the bayou setting. 
 
I knew it would add immensely to the  enjoyment of the book if the reader 
could envision the lovely things Appelt  is writing about.  So, I went on a 
search for pictures. What fun I had  looking up just the right images for each line 
of text. Indeed (as usual, lol) I  got carried away and created this Word 
document. It has Google Images of  all the flora and fauna mentioned in the book 
(over 280 images representing over  62 lines of text from the book- for each 
one I repeat the line of text for  reference). A small example is embedded here 
so you can see what it's like. So,  if you would like a copy of the The 
Underneath images Word  file, please email me OFF LIST and I will send it to you. I 
am eager to  share.
 
I hope you can use this to enhance your  reading and find an opportunity to 
share it with your children  and students. Enjoy!

Pg 36   “And there she stayed, stayed so long that she became as much a part 
of  the forest as the silent panthers and the black bear” … “ stayed so long 
that  she became known as Grandmother Moccasin.  Ssssssss. Do not look into 
that mouth of cotton. Do not. “
