The Biggest Question in the World!

Excuse my asking, did anyone notice the illustrator's choice of scribbling? We checked many books ilustrated by Rosanne Litzinger and we cannot figure out why she chose to mark the pages the way she did. We were thinking that maybe it was an accident until we saw the cover and it was the same as the paper cover. Then we read about the iluustrator and noticed that she loves children's books, so we were thinking that she probably asked a child to help her. We then read the deication page and read that it was dedicated to children, but we are still wondering why the artist chose to scribble scrabble. We think the colors have something to do with the story and how people feel in the book. Maybe blue means sad, and red means happy It could be the smell. Maybe she drew it as the smell. We really like the way the author used big, tremendous words for the three vice presidents. It is a good book for questioning work. Our class had at least 100 questions. The one we thought about the most was the question about the illustrations. I think this is a good book for kindergartners to read. We are in third grade and everyone liked this story.
