Shh! We Have a Plan

Product Information

The truth of one of Bornholdt’s observations – “Reading a book of pictures is still reading” – will become immediately obvious to the “reader” of Chris Haughton’s picture book

I KNEW we had to read this book as soon as I saw the wonderful ART! And I was NOT disappointed... it is a truly beautiful book from the illustrations to the message... This is the kind of picture book I would LOVE to create myself! Mr Haughton, your picture books are simply amazing. I had the chance to listen to a nice french bookstore attendant read Chut! On a un plan before it reaches french Canadian bookstores. This papercut technique is very “rich” and from what I have seen from the video the colors are beautiful. ANd the scenario! Wow! Easy to predict that this book will also earn many prizes, but most importantly, children will love it!!! Bravo de Montreal 🙂 Pleasingly spare and simple in design and storyline, and ending with a good joke, this is a perfectly executed picture book. ...

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. As a father of 5 and a Creative Director (who has illusions he can illustrate and write), it couldn’t be more inspirational. What happens next? Children can draw and write what they imagine happens next in the story of the hunters and the squirrel.

Make some puppets to represent the characters in the story. Could you use them to perform it to an audience? Shh! We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton is a children's picturebook about a group of four individuals who have a plan that goes wrong, which involves searching and catching a bird during the night. Haughton uses the juxtaposition of the three older characters against the youngest character. In my understanding the three older characters embody the greed and the destructive nature of human beings, however, in contrast, the youngest embodies being generous, patient and loving towards the environment and everyone who resides there. When children hear the story several times they’ll get to know it really well. This helps them to tell it in their own words, using the pictures as prompts. Listen for the ways they use words and phrases from the story. This familiarity will help them to read the story independently and with increasing accuracy. Watch a Trailer Following the Rule of Threes the older trio creep stealthily upon the bird on the ground, in a tree, and out on a frozen pond, always failing to catch their prey. At last the Little One offers up some bread crumbs and they stalkers are suddenly surrounded by many birds. With the birds so close it seems as if catching them will easy until they realize they are outnumbers and outsized and off the run.Play ‘What’s the Time Mr Wolf’ to experience, first-hand, suspense, chasing and being chased. Draw and write the next story Es la primera vez que comento un libro infantil, pero con "¡Shhh! Tenemos un plan" he sentido realmente necesidad de comentarlo. Como mamá de un niño de 18 meses ya empiezo a leer libros infantiles, así que si encuentro joyitas como ésta, pienso contarlas por aquí. Kids getting a notion in their head and proceeding with what they believe is a well-considered plan only to have it fail due, in part, to their own limited understanding of the real world. Look at the expressions of the characters in the illustrations. How are they feeling? What are they thinking at different points? A very funny picture book . . . most of the story is revealed in the simple, expressive pictures, making it perfect for new readers'
