A child raising questions about life and the universe.
And what if we could live forever ending up by understanding all mysteries , the mysteries of the earth, and of all the universe.
Wouldnt that be great?

A thoughtful, engaging book, one that makes you want to step inside to search for answers. Wonderful art!

Ah Ms. Lemieux, Call me up on the next stormy night and we will contemplate the unknowable answers together. Books like this make me feel so connected, less alone in the universe. I absolutely adore the giant questions juxtaposed with simple line art. I want to abscond with this book and read it on stormy nights, and even a few drizzly days.

Oh wait, I'm supposed to be evaluating this book in light of it's potential use for gifted kids.

I will make my thinking visible so that, when forget why this book is amazing in a few years, I can return to it. As my internet foraging and class readings have confirmed, many gifted kids tend to be contemplative. This book confronts those contemplations, common to humans and places them squarely where they most likely occur - in the solitude of a bedroom on a stormy night. How fitting that these midnight musings are interrupted by a case of the munchies.

These questions all seem like such wonderful writing prompts. I would love to have kids read this book and pick a question that they would most likely ponder on a stormy night.

I also love the Meg connection to A Wrinkle in Time. Wasn't Meg wrestling with some awfully daunting questions? And wasn't she lucky to have Charles Wallace waiting downstairs to make her hot chocolate and liverwurst and cheese? But I digress into Jungian analysis once again....I think I'd better make a latte :)

This book was fairly repetitious. This story follows a bear that has been awaken by a mysterious sound. He follows this sound, as well as his stomach, trying to determine what it is while getting into a bit of mischief along the way
