Dude by Christopher Aslan and Emily Mullock
Just like a picture can represent a thousand words; a word can represent a thousand feelings!
Dude
Welcome to the world of Dude. One word, many feelings…

Each page in this book has only one word…”Dude”. But, each page shows a different scenario that will help the reader construe how that word is meant to be read. This book has way more to offer than your basic read aloud. For each reader the word dude will sound different when read aloud because each reader will interpret Emily Mullock’s illustrations differently. This is particularly apparent when read by a student versus an adult. What makes this book outstanding is found in the last two pages. Here you’ll find a thumbmail of each illustration with the feeling word next to it. Aslan uses rich vocabulary when describing feelings and goes way beyond ‘glad, sad and mad’!
