WHEATLEY, Nadia & OTTLEY, Matt
Luke's way of looking
Hodder Children's, 1999
ISBN 0733609279
Luke's talents include a vivid imagination and the ability to look at things
differently. These talents are a problem for him in class as Mr Barraclough,
his teacher, reacts negatively to his paintings. A chance visit to the
local art gallery has wonderful repercussions for Luke. The diverse, detailed
illustrations provide opportunities for critically examining the different
ways our view of the world can be visually constructed, and the reaction
of others to these constructions. This is an excellent picture book for
developing critical literacy and text analyst skills, allowing students
to sensitively explore issues raised within the written text and the illustrations,
as they work towards achievement of the Learning about outcomes
in the English K-6 syllabus. J. Stratford
