Literature Links for Primary
In the Blink of an Eye
In the Blink of an Eye
written by Dieter Wiesmuller
While journeying all over the world, the young reader uses pictures and literary clues to learn about what he sees around him and what is observing him.

Activity Idea:
Students using either paper and crayons or a drawing computer program such as Kid PixTM, will write their own version of this book. They will use a different body part of the animals such as the nose, mouth or ears and write their literary clues to go along with the pictures they draw. The booklet can range from 2 – 4 pages depending on age level.
