Don't let the size of the book scare you away...The Invention of Hugo Cabret is an amazingly illustrated book that goes hand-in-hand with a tantilizing story. It looks like a very long book but the text is broken up by pages of pictures that help tell the story. The black-and-white pictures that break up the text allow the reader to use their imagination and senses to fill in parts of the story. The book is suitable for intermediate readers and will captivate the imaginations of both children and adults alike. Definitely put this Caldecott winner on your reading list! The Invention of Hugo Cabret is one of the Rebecca Caudill Nominees for 2009.
